Could you please explain what you meant by hardware repair? Download the little app MediaInfo, it's free. After installation it ends up in your right click context menu for viewing the specifics of audio and video files. This will at least tell you what type of audio is giving you problems.

AMD High Definition Audio Device.
Since there are no yellow !'s or red X's, it appears that the correct drivers are loaded.

When you download something right click it and select Open with and try VLC instead of Windows Media Player. Because the first post shows it is trying to use WMP.

Need the exact number of your HP G4 laptop to get the correct drivers.
