To answer your question we need to know what motherboard you have in your machine and/or the soundcard. Can you get the details from system information (In windows via start, accessories, system tools. If for some reason this is not possible then download and run speccy - this will give you the same details

You may be better off adding a new Ethernet card instead since this model has had onboard ethernet problems in the past. I have even had to remove ethernet chips from these PC's just to get the computer running again. Ethernet cards are dirt cheap and quite easy to buy at office max, office depot, bestbuy, walmart and other places.
my advise would be to try the update device driver, from the control panel. Strip machine and get teh make and model number from the MotherBoard - then google for the drivers.
http://www.driverguide.com/ is a good place to start for the drivers.
you can't erase the driver when it's already installed, anyway try installing realtek driver: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsCheck.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=23&PFid=23&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#AC or you can do System Restore in Control Panel, go to Performance and Maintenance(category view) on the left select System Restore, restore computer to earlier time before you erased files.
I would try the driver files that Emachine says is right for your computer first before any others. On windows 98, you will need to download a unzipper program such as winzip or RAR to unzip your files. Windows 98 did not ship with a unzip program attatched. once you install the unzip program, double click your zipped file. this will bring up your unzipping program. Choose "unzip all" and make sure you know where the files are unzipped to. Go to that location & look for a "setup.exe or install.bat " file. if there's not one of those, go to your device manager, pick your sound card & click "update driver" then browse to the location that you unzipped the files to, and click "OK"
Maybe you need some audio driver, this driver drives your audio to be outputed to your speaker. audio driver are apparently included at your motherboard setupdisc.
