That's why you must be very careful when deleting stuff.
Do you have the CD's that came with thge computer? Usually a CD with DVD software on it.
Either that, or your computer Manufacturer's web site may offer a support section with downloads.

Either get the CD that came with the drive or the motherboard, if you purchased it as a complete system; or look for the model name and number on the drive and get it from the manufacturer's website.
You can also go to your Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > double click the CD Drive a to view the properties. Click the Driver tab and there will be a button to Update Driver. Click that to download a new driver.

Restore to before you did this.
Restoring the Computer to an Earlier Operating State
NOTICE: Before you restore the computer to an earlier operating state, save and close any open files and exit any
open programs. Do not alter, open, or delete any files or programs until the system restoration is complete.
1 Click the Start button, point to All Programsâï Accessoriesâï System Tools, and then click System
Restore.
2 Ensure that Restore my computer to an earlier time is selected and click Next.
3 Click a calendar date to which you want to restore your computer.
The Select a Restore Point screen provides a calendar that allows you to see and select restore points.
All calendar dates with available restore points appear in boldface type.
4 Select a restore point and click Next.
If a calendar date has only one restore point, then that restore point is automatically selected. If two or more restore points are available, click the restore point that you prefer.
5 Click Next.
The Restoration Complete screen appears after System Restore finishes collecting data and then the computer restarts.
6 After the computer restarts, click OK.
To change the restore point, you can either repeat the steps using a different restore point, or you can
undo the restoration.

I think you can do a System Restore. Go to Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools and click System Restore then follow the menus. Good luck.

goto the site that your computer is made by. for example if it is an hp go to www.hp.com. goto the support link and find the drivers download your audio driver and all other ones if you have too. Hope this helps.
