No sound with Windows 7 Professional Install

Hi Guys,

I really need some help. I only installed Windows 7 Professional which was previously Vista Business and now my audio output device is gone. No sound drivers. I installed RealTek drivers but didn't work. I went ahead to install the original C-Media PCI Audio Device for vista. The sound started working but then all other programs (internet explorer, windows media player, adobe 9 professional, windows media center, etc) stopped. Once I uninstalled the PCI driver then they work again.
Please, any suggestions to help me get my sound back without affecting other programs? Thanks

Please, I changed the original sound card from Dell and replaced it with a sound blaster for multi channel player (7 in 1). But I don't know how to get the name of the sound card from Windows 7 since it doesn't even recognize the card. Any ideas? Please, help me I need the sound back. Went to C-Media website but cannot install windows 7 drivers since it required the original sound card for windows 7.
