If this is a new computer - take it back and get them to fix it.
Otherwise, you need to download an audio driver - you can find it here:

Hello,
i have a Windows mediaplayer but no sound plays from my computer at all. If I go onto windows media player a warning pops up saying:
"Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There may not be a sound device installed on your computer, it may be in use by another program, or it may not be functioning properly."
when I go to properties, it says:
Legacy Audio Drivers
Device Type - Sound, video and game controllers
Manufacturer - (Standard system devices)
Location - Unknown.
It also says that it is not working properly.
please help?

try this, it worked in my system,
search for sysconfig file, when u open it, u could find a set-up tab
there would be few item listed as a menu, those are the progrms which gets installed
automatically when your system gets boosted up,
uncheck the unwanted application,
check the audio related files, this would make your system even more faster than before.
great day
