So, I'm here, without sound.
How do I determine what I need, and install it?

It could be a problem with your sound card or driver:
This may help: (based upon Win XP)
Left Click on
Start, left click
Control Panel, left click on
Sounds, Speech and Audio Devices. This should tell you your make of sound card.
or alternatively
Go to desktop, Right Click on
My Computer. Left Click on
Properties. Another screen should appear - Left click on the
Hardware box. Another screen should appear - Left click on
Device Manager box. A tree structure should appear with various names each with a '+' or '-' next to it.
Look for
Sound, video and game controllers. If you Left click on the '+' next to it, another list should appear - (audio) drivers. If there's an exclamation mark next to any, then there is a problem.
It may be a simple case of downloading and installing a new driver.
