Hi trickey,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I saw your post regarding the lack of sound problem. To help you I will need to know your operating system and your product number. Do you have a set of headphones or an external set of speakers you can try. If they don't work then we know it is most likely a software issue and if they work then we know it is a hardware issue with your speakers.
Thank you,
