If none of the above suggestions work, there's really only one good solution left...fresh install.
I fukking HATE fresh installs, but sometimes they are necessary. Just make sure to back all your shyt up first (for real

A factory reset is probably in order but before reinstalling Windows, download a Linux live CD (any flavor will work - Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Mint, Fedora, etc) and reboot and run from the live CD/USB. You can then check and see if you can hear audio on YouTube or whatever. This will rule out the hardware being an issue.

New fukking problem: my computer is now stuck in system repair mode.
Whenever I turn it on , it scans for issues issues, finishes, and shuts down.

reinstall windows
Really, if you don't wanna clean install windows, go to Fry's or Microcenter and have them figure it out. It'll cost like $60 (maybe more now), but you'll know for sure. Or you could go to a local shop, which is iffy (some places know their shyt, others are clueless), but a possibility. I've used local places to fix some shyt in my computer before, so they're definitely not all bad

Thats the plan. Hopefully will get to it by Monday.
Does your computer go back to "day 1" mode when done?
Could you give my advice on anti virus, malware, adware etc type shyt?
Daps and rep coming.
After you fresh install, download one of those driver programs that are free for like 30 days (that way you'll have all your driver needs met, which is normally a pain in the ass).
You'll be at day 1 mode, but windows should download the latest shyt automatically. Install all the new updates. I use malwarebytes for my antivirus software. They pick up shyt even McAfee doesn't pick up. I had McAfree and it's fukking terrible. Don't buy that shyt. It's a lot more expensive too.

Should I stick with windows 7, go to 8 or 10, or is it personal preference kind of shyt?
10 definitely. It's a really good OS. Plus you'll get the latest features. 10 is like a hybrid of 8 and 7 (and if you're going desktop mode, it's a lot like 7). I strongly recommend updating, especially if you game on your laptop.
