No Audio

[icu222much]

My old hard drive burnt out so I bought a hard drive to replace it. After I installed Windows and several and several other softwares, I tried to listen to some music, but I don't hear anything. I know my speakers are fine, because I tried them on my other computer. I also know that my integrated sound card is not broken, because it was working fine a week ago on my old hard drive. I manually updated my audio drivers, but Windows says they are all updated. I was looking at at my sound, video, and game controllers under my device manager, and I saw 7 devices (Audio Codecs, Legacy Audio Drivers, Legacy Video Capture Devices, Media Control Devices, MPU-401 Compatible MIDI Device, Standard Game Port, Video Codecs). I am not sure, but is the MPU-401 Compatible MIDI Device suppose to be there?

make sure to volume is up in the volume control, and its not muted, also make sure your cords didnt fall out

I turned my speakers up full blast and no audio is comming out. I checked the speaker cord, and it is still good.

I just tried turning up my volume on Windows manually (i usually use my keyboard hotkeys) but I discovered Windows says "No Audio Device".

if your sound card is onboard make sure its enabled in the BIOS, and if its a sound card, turn the PC off take it out and boot into windows, then turn it off again and reinstall it along with the drivers.

From that picture def. looks like a driver problem.
