What kind of PC do you have? Compaq, HP, Dell? Check their website and search for the model number of your cpu, then check the drivers or software section. There may be a set of drivers you can download, in this case you would open device manager and go into the location of the set of drivers and download them. You could always send the company an email with your CPU type and model number as well as operating system and ask them for the driver for the multimedia audio controller.
Lastly, you could try checking for info. in the other audio devices, in which case you could go to their website and look for a set of drivers.
Hope this helps
