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.

To simplify things for others looking for the best solution, the easiest way is to:

Right click Taskbar > Select Task Manager > Services Tab > Right click Audiosrv > Restart.

Or if you want to stop it happening to you again then:

Control Panel > Sound > Playback Tab > Click on Sound Device > Properties > Advanced Tab > Exclusive Mode > Untick "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" > OK
