Look in device manager. Does the sound card show up? Does it have a question mark or exclamation point next to it?

The PC Speaker is mostly for beeps and warning and not for audio playback. If it's used for a lot of audio playback, it could have gone bad. you can replace it with a sound card (starting at $9 ebay) or replace the PC speaker (%9-29)
