Sounds like your sound card is cheesed. No audio device to me says make sure your sound card has drivers installed and is functioning. If you right-click your "my computer" icon and go to 'manage' then click on the 'device manager' in the left pane you should be able to expand the 'sound, video, and game controllers' on the right pane and see if you have any exclamation symbols or question marks on an 'unknown' or broken device. You should have some sort of sound controller on there somewhere.

Of course this is for a Windows machine......not sure what you are working with so I just made the assumption.

Check to make sure that your sound card appears in device manager. ^^Or what he said ^^

Your sound card will have software installed with it. If you are not seeing that, maybe your card isn't installed right. Also, you should make sure you have up-to-date drivers for the card.
