Sound problems, slightly urgent.

[Snaw]

Alright, considering Im a musician, its pretty much vital I need sound on my computer.

Heres the deal: Was in the middle of recording, and a weird instance happened to where my computer shut itself down. The internet bugged out, and I system restored, and everything was just fine, until I realized the sound was completely out. Tried to get a few drivers, and no prevail. Much errors with "card not installed" or "not the correct card". Which slightly confuses me. Please help some!
