Need help with audio drivers

[Wing-less]

I'm not exactly sure what's wrong; my computer doesn't seem to have an audio driver. I've tried getting the driver on my own but it says that there is no audio card detected. But I have one plugged in. Would anyone be kind enough to look over my comp's summary and help me solve the problem? Thanks.

Damn...you provided all the information

Your model of the Sony VAIO RZ54G comes with Sound blaster......there could be few possiblity why it is not working...It could be disabled by user on in the Windows Control Panel, it could have been disabled in BIOS or it could be missing the driver.......anyways, here is the direct link to your Audio Driver:

Thanks, I'll download the driver and check if it's disabled anywhere.
