No sound. What driver do I need?

Please help!! I have recently formatted my computer and now my audio does not work. The only audio device I have listed to choose from is the one for my voIP phone.

I have opened the case but i cannot find any manufacturers name on it, only a series of numbers: PV-BT878P +FMRC

I would try to unplug and replug the card to see if the pc will then locate it, Unfortunately i do not have an empty slot to switch the card to.

The following is from running belarc:

Operating System
Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 (build 2600)
Processor a
3.00 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4
8 kilobyte primary memory cache
512 kilobyte secondary memory cache

Main Circuit Board b
Board: ASUSTeK Computer INC. P4S800-MX SE Rev 1.xx
Bus Clock: 200 megahertz
BIOS: American Megatrends Inc. 1005.001 08/04/2005

Multimedia
USB Audio Device


Thanks very much for your time.

Wherever possible the drivers should be obtained from the PC manufacturer's website as many of their PCs require custom-made drivers available only from them. This is certainly true of the "big brand" names like Packard Bell, HP/Compaq, Sony, Gateway etc.

Drivers are also supplied by the motherboard manufacturer if the computer is not a well-known brand or has been built at home using a motherboard bought from a supplier. In these cases the motherboard is usually an unmodified model and doesn't require custom-made drivers. Your motherboard is an Asus P4S800-MX. The driver packages are here:
http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx

When the page loads, select 'All' in the "select a category" bar on the left.
Now type P4S800-MX SE in the bar which says "Input Model to search"
Now click the 'search info' button.
Very shortly you should see your motherboard model name appear in blue in centre of screen. Click it.
