EEK! Where's the sound?

I think I've somehow removed the sound device from my Toshiba laptop. What can I do to get it back?

    This is a good check-list for audio problems..

    To Display The Volume Icon

    By default, the Volume icon is not displayed when you initially installed on your system.

    To enable the display of the Volume icon, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.

    2. Double-click Sounds and Audio Devices.

    3. Click Show volume control on the taskbar.

    4. Click OK.

    When you have the new desktop features enabled, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.

    2. Click Sounds, click Speech, and then click Audio Devices.

    3. Click Sounds, and then click Audio Devices.

    4. Click Show volume control on the taskbar.

    5. Click OK.

    If that doesn't work then try this.

    Go to "Start".."Control Panel"..."Internet Options"...Click the "Advanced Tab"...scroll down to multimedia and put a check mark in play sounds on websites.

    Then go to "Tools"..."Manage Add ons"...and make sure everything is enabled.

    Then close Internet Explorer and reopen

    or

    Go to Start -> Run -> and enter Services.msc

    Scroll down to "Windows Audio".

    Double click and change the startup type to Automatic

    or

    Go to the manufacturer of your computer website and download the necessary free audio driver.
