Assuming your PC is using the integrated sound-chip and not an add-on sound-card, go here:

http://support.asus.com/download/dow...odel=P4S800D-X

Click the '+' symbol against the topmost link "Audio".

Choose the correct driver for your specific version of Windows. Download. Read any instructions that may be included in the download.
