Microsoft Digital Sound System 80 speakers are working but Unspecified - Windows 7

My Microsoft Digital Sound System 80 speakers work fine but under Devices and Printers it shows up under Unspecified.

I have upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium, clean install.

Being a Microsoft product I was hoping it would be installed correctly with little Microsoft Digital Sound System 80 speakers showing up under Devices but instead it shows up under Unspecified with some generic unknown looking box or device.

Anything I can do to get the little speakers to show up and not the generic device?

    Hi

    Thank you for using Microsoft Windows Vista Forums. 

    Method 1:

    I would recommend updating the sound driver from the manufacturer’s website which will help you in resolving the issue.

    Click on the link below for information on updating the driver.

    Check if the issue is resolved.

    Method 2:

    Try running a program from Microsoft that automatically diagnoses and repairs problems with sound and audio on your computer. To do so, click this link and follow the instructions:

    I tried everything and it installs fine and works fine but its still under "Unspecified". Oh well, not that big a deal.

    Doesn't look like they made a icon of these speakers anyways, http://www.istartedsomething.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/win7ddores_large.jpg

    Thanks
