Windows 7 - No sound/audio dead // IE Can't play YT videos or Vimeo :C

Windows 7, IE 11 - ran cc cleaner, re booted, ran scan says no issues, can't play audio/music on Windows Media Center or anywhere - did sound test on sound card and says won't work, but says it's operating correctly - ran updates on both Adobe Flash Player to 12, ran updates on Java Script, says all correct for my pc -

I CAN play videos on Chrome, but no sound. No driver updates nor Windows updates that I can see. ((Possible my sound card is out but worked fine earlier so ???))............ but why won't my tunes play then on my Windows Media Player and I get ERROR message now.........if sound card is out, my tunes should play or show they are playing but w/o the error message........I'd think.

[[ For some reason, I cannot go back to an earlier restore point on this pc - been that way for a long time now ]] I use a desk top 64 bit. I have noticed my MSN main page is giving me odd messages too and if I click on a subject I go into a huge and massive screen now. Something like cross scripting......big mess.

Have you tried the following Microsoft site:

Thank you knmt......

I began with number 1....said my speakers are not hooked up or my headset is not connected. My headset is connected. I had a big sound card installed long ago so I don't use the sound which came with the pc. I use Creative SB -x fi sound card and plug in from rear. I only use a headset for sound. I guess it's my sound card then. I can default to the generic speakers which came with my pc but ugh......maybe I'll try switching out my headset....
