if that is there then for the most part if means you audio driver is fine. You next check all the levels, double click it, press options and properties. Select to show ALL of the volume controls and ensure they are all turned up
then check the volume settings on the application you are using to play back, eg media player

have you tried using headphones/external speakers in the phone jack? maybe the internals have blown
