    That file is part of the "C-Media Audio WDM Driver". I wouldn't worry about the potential virus warning at that site, as they say that about every file to try and get you to buy something. ;)

    You should be able to find it by going here. :)

    You're not dumb, and you're about to become even smarter. :D

    Look and see if you have a separate sound card (PCI) or if it's built into the motherboard. If the jack you plug the speakers into is up near the keyboard and mouse jacks it's onboard; if it's lower down the back of the case it is likely to be a separate card. (I say "likely" because sometimes there is a bracket mounted lower on the back of the case which actually is connected directly to the motherboard by a small ribbon cable, meaning that it is onboard sound.)

    The best thing is to look at the chip itself and see what number is marked on it, then look for it on the list at the site you linked to. Reinstalling the whole works from a fresh download will likely do the trick. :)
