That is very likely, but this is the only driver I have i'm afraid

There's a common situation where the C-Media Wave device driver gets
half-loaded in when some other driver is the correct one.

If this is an on-motherboard sound system, find out the make and model
of the motherboard (usually silk-screened on the motherboard) and see
if you can get a better driver match by downloading a driver from the
motherboard manufacturer's web site.

If you need any more help once you get a few relevant facts, just post
your next question here.
