    Welcome to the NBR forums. :)

    what model notebook is that?

    if you check your Device Manager, are any of the devices have a "?" or a "!" next to them?

    if not, then you must have installed your audio drivers properly.

    try to connect some external speakers or headphones to see if the sound is working properly.

    make sure that your Windows Sound is not muted, and the slider to set to max volume.
