you should be able to identify what it is with this program

then you will need to download drivers for it. I've never failed to find a driver here

thanks for that program, now i dont know how to install the driver on the computer?

XP can read .zip fies as a folder, so if it's in a zip file, copy and paste them files into something like C:\sound card drivers\
right click on My Computer and click properties
then go to hardware then device manager

under sound, video and game controllers right click multimedia Audio Controller and click update driver
in the new window, choose install from a list or specific location then after that choose don't search. I will choose the driver to install.
then browse to the folder you copied the drivers to, and select the .inf file. it should automatically select your hardware from the list in the .inf, so click next and it will install
