If youve reinstalled windows, then you will be missing the sound card driver which will be on the motherboard CD if you have one. Otherwise have a look what sound card it is or what motherboard it is (if its onboard sound) and do a google search for the driver.

Check on Control Panel>Sound Speech And Audio> Sound and Audio
and make sure that your windows audio device for playback is set to the one you want. Also install all the drivers.
