I think my father in law accidentaly deleted my sound while using easy cleaner. Is there anyway to retrieve this, or to reload?

Three things you can try,, system restore back to before he did the cleaning, or use the device manager to remove the sound card and re-boot to see if windows will re-install the drivers, or find the drivers at the Manf's web site.

Actually, I think I might have found it. Is it under the "sounds and multimedia" then devices? If so, i see something that reads, "Unimodem Half Duplex Wave Device". Is this what I want??
Thank you very much!!!!!!

Right click my computer icon > properties > device manager tab > click open the plus beside Sound > highlight the entry you just exposed and click remove > click okay > reboot the computer.

If you only have one listing - the Unimodem device, then you haave removed your soundcard. You can leave the modem alone, just in case you haven't got the drivers for it, then reboot & see if a soundcard is detected - it should come up with a 'found new hardware' message. If not, go back into Device Manager & see if there are any asterisks showing or unknown hardware. If there are then you need to be able to identify your soundcard & you'll either have a driver disk somewhere or you can download them. If nothing is listed then you may have a hardware problem. Post back after trying above.
