The drivers are free. They figure if you have the hardware, but lost the drivers, then you should be able to download the drivers free of charge, in addition to updating those drivers periodically.
Just go to the site of origin and to the download section of that site and give them the name of your (whatever) program and download the driver. There won't be any payment for that.

Follow troubleshooting steps per:

Make sure that the speaker volume is not muted or turned down too low.
1. Open Volume Control by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Hardware and Sound, and then, under Audio Devices and Sound, clicking Adjust system volume.
2. Under Main Volume, move the slider up or down to raise or lower the volume.
NoteSome mobile PCs have an external volume control on the outside of the case. If you're using a mobile PC, check the external volume control.
Make sure you don't have headphones plugged into the line out (headphone) jack of your sound card or computer (unless you want to be listening with headphones rather than speakers). When you plug in headphones, most computers automatically cut the sound to the speakers.
If these steps don’t solve the problem, check the information that came with your computer and speakers or go to the manufacturer's website.
Sound from my speakers is crackled or distorted.
•Make sure your speakers are correctly connected to your computer.
On your speakers, find the cable that plugs into your computer. Make sure that the speaker cable is plugged into the speakers and the correct jack on the computer. For example, if the cable is a 1/8 inch cable, there should be a round jack for it on the back of the computer. If it is a USB cable, it will plug into any USB port on your computer.
If these steps don’t fix the problem, check the information that came with your computer and speakers or go to the manufacturer's website.
I have a sound card in my computer, but Windows doesn't recognize it.
For Windows to recognize your sound card, you must find and install a compatible driver for your sound card. Most sound cards require driver software to work properly. Be sure that you have installed any software discs that came with the device. If you don't have a disc or the software on the disc does not solve the problem, follow these steps:
1. Visit the website of the sound card manufacturer to check if a driver is available. If one is available, download it. If not, contact the manufacturer.
2 Open Device Manager by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Device Manager. Administrator permission required If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
4. In Device Manager, look for a sound card under Sound, video and game controllers and confirm that Windows does not recognize your card.
5. Close Device Manager.
6. Open Control Panel by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, and then clicking Control Panel.
7. In the Search box in Control Panel, type add hardware.
8. Click Install drivers for older devices with Add Hardware wizard. Administrator permission required If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
I found a new driver for my sound card, but I'm not sure how to install it.
Out-of-date drivers can cause sound problems, so it is a good idea to install the latest driver for your sound card.
Follow these steps:
1. Open Device Manager by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Device Manager. Administrator permission required If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
2. In Device Manager, locate your sound card under Sound, video and game controllers, and then double-click the device name.
3. Click the Driver tab, and then click Update Driver.

initially you heavily could desire to replace your replica of living house windows XP, as provider %. 2 has been long replaced with provider %. 3. As to your sound driver, it relatively relies upon on the style and style of your sound card. in case you have a branded pc, case in point a Dell or HP, purely get carry of the sound driver from the pc producer's website. in case you do not have a branded pc, case in point a house geared up pc, browse to the internet website of the motherboard producer and get carry of the sound drivers from there.
