The Audio Device for your motherboard is AC97, but I am not very sure which AC 97 version since there are two types, i.e. Realtek AC97 or Via AC97 (I never have seen this motherboard, I only get to know it's hardware details from the available Specifications). But i am sure that one of them should definitely work for you. Follow the below links to download;
Realtek Ac '97
Via Ac '97
Let me know if you need further help.
Good Luck.
Thanks for using FixYa.

Your board has Intel G31 and ICH7 chipsets, Socket 775 and, Via VT1708B(for sound). This is ECS's link for downloads, there is a ver 7.0 also, I picked ver 1.0 and it shows a Via high def driver:

You can also try Via here:

This should get you your driver. If you are having other problems with the sound let me know.
Dave
Note:The board does appear to have support from Windows 7
