Can you remember when your machine worked correctly the last time? Try powering down your machine completely, ie switch off, AND remove the battery for a few minutes, and then power-up, and perform a system restore from a date that you know the machine worked OK. (Use the Windows help menu to guide you through the restore process.)
If your drivers have become corrupted, then this should hopefully get you back to a known good configuration, rather than running the gauntlet of installing new un-tested software.
Good Luck,

That would mean holding down F8 (or hitting it again and again when booting, depending on what computer brand you have) when you're booting up and then going into the config choices. Choose "last known good configuration" and go from there with the prompts, using arrow keys to highlight your choice. Enter a date. Hit
, and that may work... but try tweaking your sound drivers and settings first... by going in to last known good configuration, any programs you installed or updated AFTER the date you set as being the last good configuration may need to be reinstalled. You won't lose data - only setting that were possibly tweaked.
