You have to know what hardware you have. Maybe looking up that model
manual will tell you that.

The trail is pretty damn cold.

I tried and tried to get a chip ID through Google,
but nope. How can they sell so many of those,
and all the Google references are gone ?
Acer might be the last owner of Emachines.

RealTek offers drivers, but you have to classify the
chip a bit first, before you'll get the right
jumbo driver. The chip is either AC'97 or
HDAudio, and you have to know that much about
it, before following the path to the driver here.
A lot of people are downloading those audio drivers.

That's assuming it's RealTek. I can't trust a single
Ebay picture for this sort of thing. Look in the lower
left corner of the motherboard for the square audio
chip. There's usually a ring of ceramic coupling
caps around the chip, as all the channels are
AC coupled. A typical pin count might be 48 pins.
Four sides of 12 pins each.
