If the restore CDs don't work to fix this, there is a possibility the onboard sound is:

1. Disabled in the BIOS.
2. The sound hardware has developed a defect.

For item 1, you can check your manual on the BIOS settings. There are too many HP machines so I can't tell you exactly where the setting is.

For item 2, I usually just disable the onboard sound in the bios, purchase a sound card and install that.
