First where did you get the driver? Are you sure it isn't a .cab file?
What problems sre you having, which media player etc.

WMP is notorious for not having codecs and this will usually straighten it out alot of other issues. http://www.filehippo.com/download_klite_codec_pack/
Not sure on your PC but my audio drivers are in C:\drivers\audio\onboard

Open control panel>system>device manager.

Then find the sound card in the tree menus, it will probably have a warning sign next to it. Open>properties>update driver on one of the tabs, then point it at the files you unzipped. My System: Hybr!d
