It depends on how the driver is packaged on the disk - it is usually extracted only during setup so you cannot just point the 'have disk' option to the drivers folder. Best way is to see if you can identify the exact model number of your sound card and then either go to the chipset manufacturer's webite, or to driverguide.com. You should then be able to get just the driver without all the extra software as well.
