Audacity does not recognize any sound devices

Audacity installed on HP running Win7. Audacity does not recognize any sound devices. What steps do I need to take to determine the problem. (Used Audacity on older computer running Win98 with good results.)

What are you trying to record? Does your computer have any recording devices enabled?
