This talk here remind me about my broken sond on pc and I can not see any movies..
Well Mirodenia I would hate to deprive you of a new Sony laptop, or indeed of an encounter with leprechauns/leprechaun slaying knights in armour, but....
problems related to sound in a pc are mostly solvable. It's rare that a hardware component fails, except if you pour a liquid such as caffe macchiato inside the computer case.
If you're running Windows on a PC, there are some simple steps you could take to find out what's wrong.
Before doing anything else, you could check if the speakers are on and connected properly. As a matter of fact, before that, you could find a sound file with an ending such as mp3 or wav (you can do a search for these and stop the search as soon as you find one or more. Double-click on one and see if anything happens.)
Then you could (if it's Windows, check in device manager to see whether the device is "working properly". In the "olden days" you could have a conflict with another device, and this would show in the device manager with an exclamation mark.)
Then you have to open the case and make sure the sound card is well seated in its slot (assuming it's a separate card. If the sound is on board, i.e. part of the motherboard, this of course would be unnecessary).
You should try to remember roughly when the sound was last working OK, and if you changed anything major like a hardware component at that time, or changed anything in the computer's bios. That's some onboard software that runs when the pc is booting up, and it's independent of the operating system, such as for example Windows. In the bios, it's possible to enable/disable the sound, as well as many other things, but it's best not to touch that till you've checked out the other things.
