How can i restore to factory\wipe clean my old computer without any of the factory cd's
SOURCE: is it possible to replace sound card on emachines T3604
You you could replace it... np...
But it could be just a Driver or Software issue. I would update the Audio Driver... go to: http://www.emachines.com/support/drivers.html and locate your PC Model the Download the Audio Driver. It shows 2... use the first one. If that fails try the second one... the second one will write over the first...
If both fail... then if you want to do it youself... head to a PC store. If you are mechanically inclined and can read directions... I would try it youself.
You will need a PCI Audio Card... Install it at the very bottom or last Slot in the System. Of course Power unplugged and again follow the instructions.

You might be able to get a recovery CD from the manufacturer instead of where you bought the computer. For E-Machines you can go to https://secure.tx.acer.com/RCDB/Main.aspx?brand=eMachines and enter the serial number of your unit to get information on ordering recovery media. The recovery cd will have a factory image of the hard drive on it eliminating the need for an actual Vista CD.

You'll need a copy of Windows. Microsoft has guides on how to install and uninstall all windows versions here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/help/install-reinstall-uninstall
If your particular eMachines model didn't come with recovery media or you just misplaced the disc, you don't want to be caught without a means to restore the operating system.
It's all too easy to accidentally download a virus or experience any number of problems that make your computer unstable.
However, there is an option for restoring your computer without the original recovery disc by using the pre-installed recovery software.
Use an external memory device such as a DVD, flash drive or external hard drive to back up the data you need to save from your eMachines computer.
Any data that isn't saved to an external source will be erased when the computer is restored to factory settings.
Remove any discs that are in the optical drive and unplug the computer's peripheral devices, such as an Ethernet cable or scanner.
Do not disconnect the keyboard, mouse or monitor.
Click the Windows "Start" menu and choose "All Programs."
Navigate to "eMachines" and choose "eMachines Recovery Management." Click the "Restore" tab.
Click "Password Settings" if you have not already set a recovery password. Type a new password in the text box and click "OK." Click "Restore System to Factory Default."
Type the recovery password and click "OK." Click "Next" to wipe the eMachines computer's hard drive and begin the recovery process.
Select "Finish" and wait for the eMachines computer to restart.
Use the series of installation prompts that appear on the screen to create a new user account for your operating system, set the system date and time, and set up your internet settings.
hope this helps
Turn on your computer. Right away there will be a black screen. You can restore factory settings without a CD, too. This will reset your BIOS.Press F1 when the black screen appears; you will enter the setup configuration mode. You will be presented with a menu.Select Restore Factory Defaults. Your computer will do all the work for you. As with the CD, this process may take several hours.
