No Active Mixer Device

HI I RECENTLY HAD TO REBOOT MY XP HOME COMPUTER AND EVER SINCE THEN MY COMPUTER ISN'T PLAYING ANY SOUNDS.
THERE IS AN ODD BLEEP FROM THE MONITOR BUT IT SEEMS AS THOUGH IT WON'T FIND MY SPEAKERS.
THERE IS NO VOLUME ICON AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN AND WHEN I TRY GOING ON TO VOLUME CONTROL THROUGH THE START UP MENU IT SAYS SOMETHING LIKE ''there are no active mixer devices available. To install mixer devices go to control panel, click printers and other hardware and click add hardware. This program will now close''
I have no CDs with this computer and all I know that its motherboard is something like INTEL CELERON SOCKET 436
Please help because I really need my computer to play sounds.
Thankyou:confused:

I've been on the device manager thing and there is a yellow exclaimation mark next multimedia audio controller and video controler (vga compatible) which come listed under other devices which has a yellow question mark next to it.
My processor is an intel(r) celeron(r) cpu 1.7GHz

please help me? :(

Welcome to Windrivers Rikku27

all your downloads are available here When the page opens, type in A7S333 where it says input model to search (the words will disappear when you click the mouse in the box).

You need to download and install the driver marked C-Media CMI8738/C3DX Audio Driver V2.81 for Windows XP Driver V5.12.01.0635 assuming you are using XP.
