You really need to tell us the make and model of PC.

Here is the problem. (Link is wrapped. Put it all into one line before using.)

http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/previousversions.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&deviceid=2551&
SystemID=LAT_PNT_CEL_D500&osl=en&os=WW1&releasetype=DRVR&vercnt=6&typecnt=1&libid=3

The STAC9750 appears to be AC'97 type. Drivers are typically
for a restricted set of Southbridge chips.

AC'97

So, not only must the driver be for "STAC9750", but the
Southbridge choice of "ICH6" or "VT8237" or whatever,
is also a factor. It takes a bit more effort, screening
the drivers, before the correct one can be located.
So giving the make and model is crucial to getting an
answer.

Nom du système POWERMATE VL4

Carte audio SigmaTel STAC9750/51 @ Intel 82801DB ICH4 - AC'97 Audio Controller

8086:24C5 <--- This is the ID of the AC'97 block inside the ICH4.

OK, I found a kinda match here. I still don't know what the SUBSYS value
is for the computer, so I don't know if this will install or not. There
is no reason for a line for a NEC computer to be in the INF file here.

Dell D600 (Win2K,WinXP)

ftp://ftp.us.dell.com/audio/S5wua06i.exe <--- Download this.

The POWERMATE VL4 appears to be handled by this support site. I
tried a sample driver here, and it was similar looking to one
I downloaded from a "dodgy site" :-)

http://www.nec-computers.com/support/

This is the one I was looking at. It is a pretty small download,
because there isn't an InstallShield to help the user. This is
an INF style driver, so you can use Device Manager, as instructed
in the accompanying README file. (I use 7ZIP to extract packages
like this, so I can look them over, use notepad on the INF and
have a look and so on. That way, I can judge what is inside without
executing them. That is how I know there is a README. http://www.7-zip.org/ )

ftp://ftp2.nec-computers.com/NECFIUP06480100/stac97_XP.exe

So use the http://www.nec-computers.com/support/ and look for
your particular VL4. I expect the machines all use the same
driver, but you can verify that.

If the NEC driver doesn't give you sound, then give the Dell
one a try.

HTH,
