Gateway site sound drivers aren't working after

Hi nnirpa,

I see that you need a driver for your motherboard intel P4-4 864GV for the Audio to work, see link below for the driver download site.

AC97 type sound cards have several different drivers depending on the type of sound card and manufacturer. The easiest way to solve that is to know what chipset your board has, if it is Intel or Via and what the chip number is, then look for and AC97 driver for that specific chipset. Then it will work properly.

yup probably killed off your sound drivers

try googling for a program called 'cpuz' - it's free and when you run it, it will tell you your system spec.

Take note of your mobo serial and type, then google again to find out what sound chip it uses....most common is called a Realtek AC97 chipset....try searching 'reatek AC97' drivers.

Good luck :)

From what I can tell you should be able to use the generic AC97 drivers available from Realtek. If the linked driver doesn't do the trick download the HD AC97 drivers and give those a try.

Post your results back here, especially if you are still in need of assistance or if you run into errors during the install.

Brilliant!!!  A Huge thankyou.  Even the Gigabyte site didn't make sense to me.  You have saved my bacon.  
I extracted it, ran setup, extracted the WDM driver, ran setup and VIOLA!  Sound!  Very cool.  

Might be that the chip is bad, make sure that nothing is muted in your volume control also check that digital doesnt have a check on it. some times when digital has a check it wont let you hear anything.

Did you ask GATEWAY? Is it on board sound? Has the motherboard been replaced? Did you look on the Gateway site for your computer to get the driver for your O.S.?
