If that doesn't solve it, try going to Device Manager and searching for your sound card. Check to see if it is somehow disabled. If not, try upgrading or reloading the driver from the Properties screen. Or deleting the sound card and letting the system find it again and reload the driver.
I looked at the right side of the bar and the sound is on. I went to Device manager and it says both audio and speakers are working properly. I can't figure out how to get to the Properties screen.
