No sound for Boeing 737-800 package

I recently downloaded a freeware package of the 737-800 and the sound doesn't work. No cockpit or Engine sounds.

The 737-800 is a native FSX aircraft.  Is it a "stand alone" package, or is it an add-on to the native 737-800?

Its an addon. what i think happened was that i overwrote the original folder because that's what it told me to do in the installation txt. However doing so messed up the planes audio. How can i get the default folder back.

You have a few options.

Swap in a sound file from any twin engine passenger jet, like the A321.  The sounds will not be authentic 737 sounds, however.

You could try a "repair" by loading Disk 1 for FSX.  There should be a "repair" option.  I've heard mixed opinions on the usefulness of the Repair option, but I've never used it, so your mileage may vary.

Search for "FSX, 737-800, sound" on google (or here at SimViation), and see if there are any hits for aftermarket sound sets.
