Sorry to keep adding more info, but I found my type of PC which is a Compaq Presario 6000EA and located a page that tells me what kind of driver my computer originally had for my sound card...
This SoftPaq contains the audio driver (NVIDIA chipsets) for the ADI SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio Controller.

So hopefully I am on the right track and maybe there's a driver that suits my needs...
Unless you know exactly what it is I need and how to install it.
Ok I'll shut up now :p
