Is this where you unplugged your sound on the back of the computer?Mine has 3 plug-in holes side by side but only one is for the speakers.Did you plug it back in the right one.You speakers usually have a crossover wire one goes to speaker the other goes to the a/c plug-in adaptor.Then you have a green color coded jack that plugs into the computer.That is sometimes colored coded on back of computer where you plug it in.If that don't work I would go to the control/panel and remove all sound drivers with the yellow exclaimation mark by them then reboot.I am assuming you have your OEM install disk if sound don't come back.
