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.
No audio during playback in Movie Maker

2015-08-21T08:59:04+00:00 How is that I just downloaded Windows Essentials, uploaded photos and videos from my camera to Windows Photo Gallery and from there into Windows Moviemaker. How is that the videos can be incompatible then? I also have no sound.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Oh and BTW I'm using windows 10! The directions are the same, search services in the windows search and stop then start windows audio! Bam it worked
