Ahhh! I've accidentally removed my sound mixer!!!! Help?

Alright, maybe it wasn't accidental, maybe I was just curious and stupid, which prompted me to uninstall SoundMax, by doing so, my sound is now gone. When I tried to reinstall, seems like I need some software, which I do not have because it was downloaded by a computer maintenance guy who fixed my computer before. What can I do? It seems the "Mixer" is missing and I have to reinstall, is there an ISO or some replacement I can use?

RG84510A.86A.0028.P15.0302260937 02/26/2003 Do you mean this? If not, how can I find the serial/manufacturer? I don't think I need the codecs or drivers, I uninstalled SoundMax, and I'm wondering if I can install it back, for the type of computer I have, and for my computer to redetect my Multimedia or whatnot.

1. It seems as if you've provided every possible bit of info about your computer except what is needed to find the right driver. That is your computer's manufacturer and, the manufacturer of the sound device. Go to your computer's manufacturers website and, search for audio drivers for your computer's model.
2. Chances are that you need to reinstall the sound card driver. If the term "soundmax" is any clue, you might have an HP or Compaq with built in sound card. If that's the case, then this download should do the trick: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&swItem=PSG_I22839-107622&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN
