There are many reasons why you might not be getting any sound from your 'puter'.

Have you considered using a driver instead of a putter. Or maybe a 4 iron? Ok Sorry bad joke.

Things to check,
- Your speakers are plugged in and plugged into the right port.
- Your speakers are powered
- The volume is turned up on the speakers
- The volume is turned up & output enabled in the Windows volume control
- You have the right device drivers for your sound card.
- The device driver is not disabled
- If sound is missing from just some games maybe you have a problem wth DirectX sound
- Maybe you are using Windows95 or NT and your sound card doesn't support 95/NT
- You are using a very old sound card that is not plug & play and it needs some manual configuration (e.g. jumper settings)

The list goes on and on. You will really need to provide some additional information that describes the problem in detail before anyone can help you.
