no sound device

hi, i had an unexpected crash on my pc which resulted in a loss of sound.
when i tried to play a music file i get the message " there is a problem with
your sound device or no sound device detected" i have been to windows
update for drivers but none available. i have nothing in sound devices in
device manager and yellow question marks next to audio and videeo
controllers. i have also installed drivers from my emachines. i ran belarc
but not sure what motherboard i have and there is nothing listed under
multimedia. i have an emachines e4036, hope someone can help!
