Hi PoweredByGoogle,
Did you think to check and see if you *or some evil little brother* might have muted the sound? I did that to myself once with the mute button on my keyboard. Just a thought.

Have you expanded the "sound, video, and game controllers" sub-section of the device manager to ensure that the drivers for your sound card are installed?
Sometimes an uninstall and re-install of device drivers helps some issues. |

"No audio device" means that the sound drivers are not installed.
