My audio device is missing on my compaq presario

No problem ktotko, just download AND install the AUDIO drivers.

However I do not find a SR1758nx model.
There is a SR1750nx model, and a SR1755 model.

Could it be that the 0 or 5 looks like an 8?

[ Drivers are small pieces of software, that allow the Operating System to 'communicate' with a device.

Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7, are a few examples of an O/S. Operating System.

The audio chipset on the Compaq Presario's motherboard, is an example of a device.

People often download the drivers they need, but fail to realize that the drivers need to be INSTALLED also. Otherwise the driver files just sit in a folder, and are NOT installed ]

Install realteck audio high defination

You can download drivers from the compaq support site.
An alternate solution is to use a driver update program to find and install missing or outdated device drivers.

install a driver for ur audio card. google. compaq drivers. then type in ur make and model and it should pop with drivers for whatever audio card u have.
