No, you shouldnt need to update to get the sound to work, although Updating is certainly a good idea.
A good way to check is to go to the Device Manager and check if there is an exclamation mark under your audio device. If so, reinstalling the audio is probably your best bet, either getting the specific driver for your device, or the generic driver from windows. Hope this helps.
