If you open it in device manager and click on the details tab, then check the hardware ids in the drop down box, you should see a line like this(my X-Fi):

PCI\VEN_1102&DEV_0005&SUBSYS_00231102&REV_00

I've bolded the bits you actually need, so make a note of them and pop over to:
www.pcidatabase.com
and search by device, 0005 in my case, and scroll down the list until you find a matching Vendor ID(1102 for Creative).

You should now know what sound card drivers to google for.

You can also use http://www.driveragent.com/ which can help to find some drivers for you.
