Do you know what sound card you're using? If it's a SoundBlaster, go to www.creative.com and download the latest drivers from there. Any other sound card, go to the appropriate site and download the latest drivers.

Perhaps the drivers are installed and sound is just disabled by default? Go into System Devices (via the Control Panel) and check for anything with a question mark or exclamation point next to it. Otherwise, check your sound scheme and make sure sounds are enabled.
