Don't be panic.

First thing first know the brand and the model number to do that
Start-Run-msinfo32- System summary - look for System manufacturer and model. Note it down.

go to google and look for the same model number you will definitely be getting some positive results.

lemme know once you are done!!!

if you find it difficult , open the CPU cover and i hope that u know which part is the motherboard , just note the manufacturer and model no. , visit the manufacturers website and download drivers from there !

Simply contact Zenith they will provide you the updated drivers.

I found 915GLM-V tag glued the mobo.. So i presume its a 915GLM-V MSI mobo.
I d/led the drivers for video and sound. Video works fine... but sound is weird
It sometime echoes and or sometimes its just like karaoke !! lolz.. Is realtek ac 97 drivers right one for this ??

I d/led ac97 :d

[Batistabomb]

ms info won't give you all the information in detail, so do one thing try to get tune-up utilities or similar kind of softwares, even trail version also is enough, install it on your pc,then open tune-up and see the total system information in "system information" at customize and analyze tab:
identify all your devices models and download the appropriate one

[suhas_sm]

Q1. Since i already get sound, is it possible to get sound working with wrong drivers ?

Q2. This driver wont give out wrong info about hardware ?

Will try that and tell u in a moment

[a_tif]

Q1. no it's not possible , it will show error saying "mixers are not available"

One more thing first uninstall your sound drivers and then install tune-up and see all your device models

[a_tif]

may be u can install wrong drivers

my chipset has AC 97 audio

both C media ac 97 driver n realtek ac 97 driver install ,for it

but only C media one works properly cause M/B has c-media
