Which motherboard do you have? Check out you MB manufacturer's website or the manual to see which soundcard or codec is there on the MB.
Then you can get the sound drivers from the Sound Card or Codec manufacturer's website.

Click to expand...
Try this:
start-->>right click my computer-->>hardware-->>device manager
Do you see any device in //"sound,video and game controller"// with ?? or !!! mark


If yes, right click on that device, select update driver..and than select search online.
