You can check for the sound drivers,whether they are installed correctly.
if not uninstall them and install again.
I suggest you to verify that the default sound device is set correctly
1. Click Start,type Sound in the Start Search box.
2. Click Sound in the search results at the top of the Start menu.
3. Click the Playback tab. Notice the check mark next to the default device. For most users,the default device is Speakers.
Make sure that your audio settings are configured as expected. Follow these steps:
1. On the Playback tab, select the playback device, click Properties, click the Advanced tab, and make sure that the Default Format is set to the value that you expect.
When you finish, close this window to return to the previous window.
2. On the Playback tab, select the playback device, click Configure, and then make sure the configurations are set correctly.
3. If the sound settings are set correctly, you are using speakers as the sound device, and your speakers are already set as the default device, go to method 5 now.
4. Select the sound device that you want as the default sound device, and then click Set Default.
5. Click OK to save your settings and to close the Sound dialog box.
Determine whether you can now hear sound. If you can hear sound, the issue is resolved. If you cannot hear sound, try method 5.

Hi Nevalynn,
Your reply is indeed impressive. Unfortunately it has not resolved the problem. Running diagnostics (I'm working with windows 10 so I could not follow your instructions exactly) showed no problems. Removing and reinstalling the sound driver seemed to do the trick. But, as reinstalling involved a reboot, it seems that the reboot solved the problem temporarily.
The next time I started the computer the sound was gone again. I opened the hardware and sounds window. Everything appeared to be working. I put the computer in sleepmode for a moment, woke it up again and miraculously I had sound again. I could not find anything in the sound settings that had been changed.
Do you have any other ideas? I know it's not a big problem but it is frustrating. Thanks!
