Go into Device Manager and get the vendor and product IDs. From there it should just be a quick Google search to discover the brand and model.

I've already checked there buddy but the manufacturer part is unknown if you mean there by vendor ID – the0roamer – 2010-12-22T16:30:47.590
Examine the properties of the device in order to find the IDs. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams – 2010-12-22T18:11:45.607

A quick way to get the device information is to type
dxdiag
into a run command, select no when prompted to check drivers then go to the sound tab
Winkey+R gets a run box.
Or try one of these utilities

its a long shot, but have you tried Windows Update? it may be able to detect and download the necessary drivers for you – Xantec – 2010-12-22T17:17:37.317
