There is no "Microsoft auto download" since sound drivers like
"C-Media" may be found under (optional) hardware updates rather than
under critical (security) updates. See also

That's the wrong approach. "HOW TO: Use the Driver Roll Back Feature
to Restore a Previous Version of a Device Driver in Windows XP"

Next time NEVER download or install drivers for a card that is already
working. Time to roll back the driver.
