Your sound card driver may be incompatible with the 64-bit version of windows 7.
Let's diagnose the issue further. Goto Control Panel, click on Sound, then click on the Playback Tab. Locate your audio device there, you should also see an option called Speakers. Click on Properties, in the Levels tab, you should see a slider on either Speakers, or Front/Back Input. If the sliders are move-able and not grayed out, position the volume all the way up. Also by clicking on the Advanced tab, you can click on the Test button to see if you have sound.
If that doesn't work then go back to the manufacturers website, locate the driver section for your computer (make/model), find the name of the sound card, type that in google and do a search for the 64-bit version of the driver. If nothing pops up, as a last resort I use a software called Driver Detective, this program finds every driver 95% of the time: https://www.driversupport.com
If all still fails, here are two options you have, either a) upgrade/downgrade to an operating system that is compatible with you existing sound card or b) buy an external usb sound card
Hope that helps.
