The best way to reset the sound card driver is to go to Device Manager (My PC -> left-click -> Manage), and disabling the main sound card driver and re-enabling it.

This way you don't need to restart the computer, what could be a pain if some legacy game just crashed and froze your sound in an endless loop.

I downgraded my laptop from Windows XP to Windows 98 and now there is no sound. How do I fix all the problems?

You have not mentioned your laptop model. Most likely your sound card is not supported by Windows 98. You must have got the Motherboard CD when at the time of purchasing. Try to find the sound driver from that CD. However there is more chance that you will not find the driver for windows 98 in CD. I will suggest you to find it from internet or again install Windows XP. Note from the asker: It is a Dell Latitude designed for Windows XP Home.
