Not the device, the driver. What computer do you have?

its just collected parts, and i don't know the brand name of the motherboard so help me find its name, because the audio card is built-in .

If you go to Device Manager, Sound/Video/Game controllers, look for one that says "integrated audio" or words to that effect. Right click on it and select Properties. Depending on which operating system you are using, you should then see an option to Uninstall Driver. Device Manager may also tell you what your sound make is; if not, programs like Aida and Lavalys Everest Home Edition can help you identify it so you can search for the required driver. However, if you have the motherboard driver CD, you can install sound drivers from it as well. If not, choose one of the others and DO NOT use Windows Update to get a sound driver (they rarely work). GL!
