Hello and Welcome!

Judging from the title, I'm guessing you're having sound issues?
Some info, please...
Could you open a terminal and post the output of these commands:

lspci
lsmod

Those 2 commands would show what hardware is detected and what drivers are loading, respectively.
If need be, you could actually copy the output to a USB drive and post the output from a network capable computer.
