The sound will not work because you reinstalled Windows and formatted your hard drive. Since everything is gone including the sound drivers you must reinstall them. Go to the manufacturer website for your motherboard or sound card and download the drivers for it. After it is done installing and once you restart your system the sound should work again.
I cannot tell you the specific website to download the drivers since I don't know your system specs.
