Looks like you have onboard sound, As long as its enabled in BIOS, and you installed the motherboard drivers,, which also install the sound device drivers, Give us bit more info

Alright, i have a new question. I need to find out what type of sounds card is on my computer so i can download the drivers for it. I don' know where to look in bios. So my question is , is there a scanner of some sort to detect your sound card. But if anyone else can help me out it would be awesome.
