if your motherboard as onboard sound then go to http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx and find your motherboard and download the sound card drivers, if your sound card is an add-on card to the cards makers web site
if this is the on board sound just put the CD that came with the MB in the cd drive and install the Drivers from there, if it is an add on sound card it should have come with a CD with the drivers on it. at any extent all u should have to do is reinstall the drivers for the sound.

Without knowing if it's an onboard sound card or a sound card that was installed in a PCI slot it'll be tough to help you out. All we can do is suggest what everyone has already been suggesting.

Go here:
http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us
Enter (click option) motherboard, 478, P4P-800
To install drivers from the internet:
go into Windows Explorer, left click on Desktop, then File, then New and then Folder - name the folder XXXDrivers (where XXX = type, eg, AudioDrivers)
go to the site for your driver, find the RIGHT one for your mobo and OS,(click on the nearest site to you if appropriate) and then download button - when asked where to 'save' the download specify your desktop folder XXXDrivers and wait until the download is complete.
Once it is done, clear your screen and click on the desktop folder and then on the file inside - if it is a zip or rar file it will need to be unzipped or unpacked - make sure if you are asked to specify where to unzip/unpack to tell it to do so to the XXXDrivers folder.
Once you are done that, uninstall the old drivers for the device and then select the device and specify update drivers and direct the search to the folder you made (don't let Windows do it).
ps: ALL your drivers are there - you should make Desktop folders for each (chipset drivers, sound, video, Lan etc) and download them then copy to a cd and put it away for later.
