Download asus update, this is the easyest program to upgrade the bios, while windows is running.

Install first asus update:

When the mainboard is found, select download, and select your windows system.
Open the bios folder, and download the latest bios version.
Unzip the bios file.
Run asus update, and select update bios from file, and select the bios file, in the folder you just have downloaded ( the bin file )

Be very carefull when you upgrade the bios, because a power loss will damage the mainboard, while the upgrade process is running.

You also have to setup the bios settings, when the job is done.
You have to select F1 or F2 to enter the settings.

If any doubt download the manual.

Good luck

Motherboard drivers can be downloaded from the motherboard manufacturer web site. Download on a good computer and put on a CD for installation on your PC. If you are able to get on line you can install them directly from the manufacturer. I recommend downloading and saving the drivers to CD so you will always have them. Be sure to only download the drivers specific to your operating system.

Your best options is to go to the Mainboard Manufacturer Support Site, and check whether your Mainboard need any bios or drivers update.

Hope it helps.

Correction the bios update is for the Mainboard or motherboard for a PC. It not for the "memory"? To update your Bios you have to to know the precisely the model/brand of your mainboard before you can download the new bios file needed for the update from the manufacturer site.

There are precautions you need to heed before doing a bios update for the mainboard. In case of any eventualities or mistakes you made may render the mainboard useless!! If you are not 100% sure how to do it, get some professional help.

If you Mainboard is running ie with no errors!, it is advisable not to do the bios update unless recommended by the OEM manufacturer or you need to run a new function from the mainboard which is not included in the old bios.

Hope this helps.

try this. I dont know the date that you have the date info on the card and see if that website works.

Your motherboard manufacturer is Intel and their website for that mainboard is located here. Drivers and bios updates ( last bios update is 27 July 08 ). I highly recommend you get and install the bios update, but to be truthful only the driver updates should be needed to satisfy your problem. I suggest that either the audio driver you are now using is defective or that possibly you don't know how to use the audio controls to set your mic volume.
On most windows installation if the audio drivers are set up as a default installation, there will be located an audio configuration control in the system tray ( lower right of windows screen next to the time/clock. This audio control will have various icons depending on the software involved but could be as simple as a speaker cone or as complex as the name of the software controlling the audio. Open the icon if one exists and set the Mic modulation to around 80% of maximum and unless the driver is totally wrong for your chipset, it should work like a champ....
