what system do you have and are you sure the correct audio driver is install? are you running standalone speakers or built in? check jack plug sockets, reason i mention these is i had an pc with this problem once.

You might want to post your system specs, it really does help getting to the root of many problems. There's such a wide variety of hardware it makes troubleshooting much easier.

onward...

Does this happen after the system enters sleep, hibernation or low power mode?

There are power savings modes that cut power to peripherals, some do not seem to recover well. There are some fixes available.
