Don't worry about the icons. That's just the result of install order and choices and what explorer will hand off to for that file type. If the devices look good and you can't play system sounds then it's likely something very simple is wrong. I know you said your sound isn't muted, but open your mixer. Is your wave device muted or set very low?

There are a vast number of people who are uninformed and heavily propagandized, but fundamentally decent. The propaganda that inundates them is effective when unchallenged, but much of it goes only skin deep. If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
