Hi
You have a couple of options as I see it.
Please First check if the speaker icon on the unit is not muted.
Go to device manager and uninstall the Sound driver and restart and unit will install the driver automatically.
Try doing System restore to the date when the unit was working fine.
Try to update the driver from hp.com website for Audio & Bios.
Let us know how it goes!

I have an iPad 2 and all of a sudden I have no sound in game apps. I have usual volume in videos and YouTube, I do get volume for games if I plug in headphones. I have switched to screen lock off and on again and I have also done a reset twice.....help :)

I have an ipad2 and all of a sudden I have stopped getting sound in my game apps. I get normal sound on YouTube and I player and downloaded DVDs. If I plug headphones in then I can get sounds for the games. I have switched the lock screen button off and on again and done a reset twice, can anyone help me with this?

Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

All of a sudden I have no sound on my PowerMac G4, also iTunes gives me an error code 0x666D743F, what is going on?

2 Days ago everything was working fine, today I turn on my computer and the only sound I get is at startup. I've tried loading iTunes and I get an apple error code 0x666D743F. I've tried checking the MIDI Audio setup and tested the right and left speakers and i get sound there, but nothing else makes a sound, no alert sounds, nothing. I'm confused, please help?

Thank you for the reply. I have tried resetting the PRAM and nothing. I have deleted pref files that might have something to do with the issue and again nothing.
I have done this so far:
1. Reset PRAM
2. Rebooted in safe mode with preference files deleted or moved from the Library (com.apple.soundpref.plist and om.apple.systempreferences.plist)
3. Done a virus, worm, trojan sweep - nothing
4. Made sure AUdio MIDI setting are as they should be ( although the speaker config option gives me sound from my speakers )
5. Defragged, repaired permissions, repaired disk etc...
6. Booted from OsX CD
Still no sound.
Should I wipe the drive and reinstall a fresh OS? Do you think this might help at all?
I am sure it isn't the soundcard hardaware or I wouldn't get a startup sound or sound at when I use the speaker configuration in AUDIO MIDI, right?
I'm frustrated! lol

Suddenly I have no sound on my system

I've only just upgraded to Leopard. In system preferences it's showing that no output devices have been found. My iMac G5 still has it's inbuilt speakers yet there is no audio playback in any application, system sound, etc - why should this suddenly be?

Well, I don't know what the problem was, but a reboot has cured it - Leopard, don't frighten me like that!

Suddenly I have no sound on my ringer, despite the speaker working correctly via I tunes etc,

No sound on Phone ringer, no keyboard clicks, and so on ?

Check the mute switch on the side of the phone.

Suddenly, my videos on the iPhone5 have no sound.

Suddenly videos on my iPhone 5, which were fine before, have no sound. I've searched in "Settings" but find nothing that applies to sound for videos. I'm wondering if I'm looking in the wrong place.

Found the answer in discussion after days of trying to figure it out.....
Flip up the panel at the bottom of screen, there is a mute button......Worked!!!!!!!

Suddenly most of the applications have no sound and I can't adjust the volume, and when I try with the volume button, appear the message "sound effect" and nothing append

Hello, Miryam Maria.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I see you are experiencing issues with sound on applications when playing video/audio content. If this is the case, the first thing I would check is if the side switch is set to silent as this can cause applications to be mute. Below I have included an article that covers adjusting the settings for the side switch. Also, make sure to close all applications in Multitasking and power cycle the device. Test the sound issue after processing these steps.

Suddenly I cant get sound on the music I have purchased on Apple TV. Movies

Suddenly I cant get sound on the Music I have purchased on Apple TV. Movies and TV Shows sound is ok

Welcome to the Apple Community Ree Ree
Have you tried adjusting the "Audio Out" and the "Dolby Digital" settings in settings > audio and video? It may be worth trying several combinations of these settings, although typically it is the "Dolby Digital" setting that causes most problems for users.
If you are using a sound system/receiver, make sure that you have correctly mapped the input port on your sound system to the output, if you are unsure about how to do this, refer to the manual that came with your sound system.
Have you tried playing various content sources (i.e. podcasts, music, iTunes Store video, other video etc), do you have the same problem with all types of content? If you use optical you might also check that you can see a red light at the end of your optical audio cable. Is your optical audio cable plugged straight into your sound system, or does it go through a switch or other device?

Obvious question, but do you have the 'system sound mute' switch set to on?
Do you get any sounds when you play music?

HT4085 I have no sound at all, no music, no game sound, no video play ability, just stopped working suddenly, what can i do?

I have no sound at all, no music, no game sounds, video won't play, it just stopped suddenly. All other stuff works, email, web, books, etc. Is there someting I can do?

I can't tell you WHY this worked but I'll share just in case...
I had the same problem. No sound, the volume control buttons did nothing. The sound icon would appear but no bars indicating the sound level.
My phone was NOT on mute, but I flicked the mute button anyway.
I don't know why or how, but that made the sound come back and the volume control buttons start working again.
(Just before this, I realized all my texts were gone - they came back with a reset but still!)

Ideas?

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

Installed adobe flash update today and now i have no sound

i installed adobe flash today and now i have no sound on internet explorer. when i uninstall it then sound comes back on say something like utube, but if i re-install the latest update no sound again, using windows 7. i see the latest update was yesterday 4/9/13

I still have a warranty but it will be out in a week. i previously have a sound distortion problem with my mac for months and suddenly it just fix itself. what should i do? i'm worried that it will comeback and i dont have a warranty anymore.

JoBautista,
you still have the option (before your warranty expires) of purchasing an AppleCare Protection Plan, which will provide an additional two years of coverage. Once your warranty expires, you will no longer have the option of purchasing AppleCare.

Suddenly have no sound

one day I was listening to music and watching movies....the next day I have no sound and can't figure out why. Has any one else experienced this? Any suggestions on where to look to fix this?

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
1. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and a red light is coming from it, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
2. From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Sound ▹ Output
Check the settings. The internal speakers should be selected as the output device, the Mute box should not be checked, and the volume slider should be at least halfway to the right.
3. Launch the Audio Midi Setup application in the folder /Applications/Utilities, and select Built-In Output from the device list on the left. If any of the boxes in the Mute column is checked, uncheck it.
4. Boot in safe mode. It will take much longer than usual. You don't have to log in; just reboot as usual when the login screen appears. Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
5. Reset the NVRAM.
6. Reset the SMC.
7. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data as a precaution. You won't need your backup unless something goes wrong.
8. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to bare metal from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
