This may not always work due to corrupt driver and you may need to reinstall the driver. Also if you have received the following error messages, this fix might work:
1. – “Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it might be in use by another program, or it might not be functioning properly.”
2. – “iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly.”
Or any other error in a program warning you that your audio may not work properly.

How to fix problem:
Click Start > Run > Type “services.msc” and press “OK”
Then scroll down to “Windows Audio”.
Right Click on “Windows Audio” then click “Start” or “Restart”.

If this does not fix your audio problem then you probably have a corrupt audio driver and you may need to reinstall it.
