What could it be? I have onboard sound on the motherboard and no internal or external soundcard.

High Definition Audio Device is usually an optical out on the rear of the board near the other sound ports. It may be that you dont have the drivers installed for the High Definition audio device. Check your Motherboards CD/Website to see if there are any available drivers that are not realtek
 
To help identify what component is causing the issue, in Device Manager, click on "Details" and then choose "Hardware Ids" from "Property".


If you Google the code(s) given it should give you a clue.
