Chances are you don't have the driver for your sound card installed. So...

Check your disks that came with the PC - see if you have one for your sound card.
If you know your sound card make & model, go to the manufacturers website and look for a support section. They often have driver downloads in there.
Some PC manufacturers have download areas where you can download drivers for their PC models. You might also want to try there.

First, never EVER pay for drivers - you shouldn't have to.

Anyway, can you tell us what make of PC you have? Also if it's a model number that will help.

Also have you tried looking for drivers at:
