Buy a new one. Remove the old one, and follow the instructions that come with the new one to install it.

It may just be the drivers (software) that needs tweaking or re-installing.

Try that before forking out for a sound card, in my experience they rarely go faulty.

Theres not a simple way to answer this, but basically, the sound card usually is in a pci slot on the motherboard. So, you would open up the case, remove the old card and firmly place the new card in the slot. It's actually really simple, though that might sound confusing. I would see if something is set on mute in the sound options before I would replace the hardware. Just right click the sound icon in the task bar and look to see if one of the boxes is check that says mute all.
