First, open the tower and take out the soundcard. You'll need to write down the manufacturer and whatever model and version information is on the card.
Second, go to the manufacturer's web site and download the appropriate driver.
Third, go to start/settings/control panel and "add/remove new hardware" and start the process. When it asks for a driver, choose to specify a location and point it to the file where you've downloaded the driver. Make sure to unzip the drivers if they're compressed or run the program if it's an executable.
