I'l stick the disabling the BIOS on my list of things to try. Sound only, Video fine. Youtube video displays fine, no sound from anything not even windows start-up sounds etc.. Its fine, yes the speakers are okay, you're right to ask, its often the silliest thing

And it's not plugged into the line in instead of line out? Try putting speakers into the headphone port as well

In Control Panel, Open Sound and Audio Devices. Make sure speaker volumne is on and the volume is on. Then go to Advanced and make sure MuteAll is not on. Then, on the previous window click on Advanced under the speaker settings and make sure a speaker configuration is selected

Within the Sound and Audio Device Properties (as above) click on Audio - make sure the correct sound device is selected under sound playback. There are more options here as well.

There is no playback device, this means no volume control. Its all greyed out. Mixer.exe crashes if you try and start that. Due to no sound card. Yes I checked it was in the Line-out :P
