    Most likely, it's as simple as the Mute button was pressed.  On a new laptop, it's unlikely that there is a complicated technical issue.

    Look around on the laptop for a button that looks like a speaker, possibly with an X by it or slash through it.  It might be on a function key, like in the top row of the keyboard, or a separate button elsewhere on the laptop.

    If you are running Windows, open the volume control and unmute, or type into the Start menu "mute sound," or Google a video on it.

    Make sure that the laptop normal speaker is being used - no ear buds or headphones or external speaker plugged in, or connected wirelessly via bluetooth.  The external device could have failed.

    As a last resort, you could reboot the system.

    Try doing a system restore cause it can get your sound back also so you can watch videos again. https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-use-system-restore... it will take u step by step. If it shows restore points go back to the day when your pc was running good
