The last driver produced for that model was for XP x64 as per below. Doesn't seem to be any development of driver post that operating system release

It sounds as if Win seven doesn't support the drivers for your sound card. You might go to their web site and see if they have come out with drivers that are supported by Windows 7.

t-mobile wing unlock code need it bad

you need to update to windows 8 when you have updated you need to remove your soundcard and reinstall it.then you need to reboot your system windows will then find your soundcard and automatically update your drivers.hope this is of use.
