This works for me in Windows 8.1 to fix this:

type "services" in the Windows search box

From the list of services, choose Windows Audio

Stop the service, then

Start the service

Sound now plays in Movie Maker.

Just because you can import them on to the computer doesn't mean they will automatically be compatible.

A video file is made up using a video compressor and also an audio compressor. CODEC

You need exactly the same codec on the pc as whatever made the video file used.

Then, hopefully it will work, but not always, as there literally are hundreds of thousands of codecs in use and sorry, but not all will work with movie maker.
