Excluding hardware failure, could be a naffed up codec of some sort.

Test out the speaker settings first, also when your in sounds in control panel make sure the correct output devices are specified within the relevant drop downs.

Right click my computer - manage - device manager. Look for any expanded entries for sound / codecs.

Try downloading Windows Essentials Codec Pack and installing that. Make sure you do a Windows update and your computer isn't missing any relevant drivers.
