Did you turn up the volume? You might want to reinstal the driver if volume is ok, make sure it is not muted.

hm, have you looked on the manufacturer's website for special Vista drivers?

Diagnosis: You have vista installed
Solution: Install a linux distribution, such as Ubuntu. Easy to use for beginners. A lot of resources for help, if any may be needed.

Actually Ubuntu is not that good for beginners and it does not come with Amarok or any other mp3 player as far as I know. However, I do agree that you should get some linux distro!

Its a laptop there are probably 3 different volume controls.
1 physically on the computer (is it up?)
1 master on the computer (ditto)
1 for the program your running (ditto)

Check for vista drivers.

Hmmm- simular thing happened to me...
believe it or not my Bios disabled it by itself...
Check your BIOS and find soundcard and see if its actually enabled.

Ubuntu was extremely easy to install, it was essentially an automatic install on my laptop. It took me another day or so to get my video card/wifi working properly but that is because the support for my gfx card is rather dodgy. As far as installing Amarox, it's very easy with synaptics package manager..and it comes with Rythmbox which has mp3 support. Have you recently tried feisty fawn?
