| 417981 | 2006-01-05 06:06:00 | Already tried that driver Speedy, and it didn't work sorry Well, it should, thats the driver for the mobo. The soundcard maybe stuffed. The soundcard/audio is enabled in the BIOS isn't it? It did exactly the same thing as what I said in one of my previous post. I spent 1/2 the night the other night, trying to install drivers for LAN for a mobo. The shop confirmed that it was dead. You could be there till midnight, trying to install drivers for something thats dead. |

| 417982 | 2006-01-05 06:12:00 | I've probably installed and uninstalled over a dozen drivers in the last 24 hours, so I cant remember too well what happened with each one, but I still got that driver so i'll give it another go one problem though is that when I uninstall old drivers is the pc reboots itself upon finishing the uninstall |

| 417983 | 2006-01-05 06:13:00 | Try go to device manager and write down all the soundcard driver files . Then manually delete them . . if no allow then do it in safe mode . Then run that file . I had issues that I installed Music Match and it replaced some of my drivers so they had screetching sounds . I uninstalled and reinstalled and still didn't fix it . . until I deleted drivers, uninstalled Music Match then reinstalled the original drivers . It maybe that it didn't replaced the newer drivers? Or something . . . . . Upon reboot of uninstall . Let it be . Upon the restart . . press escape when it finds new hardware . Go to the windows explorer and delete the files manually . Restart . Now follow the driver instructions from Gigabyte . |

| 417984 | 2006-01-05 06:16:00 | Yes, audio in BIOS was the first thing i checked. He lost the recovery cd a long time ago, but still has bonafied windows sticker on back, so was just reinstalled from a borrowed xp cd. |

| 417986 | 2006-01-05 06:33:00 | From my understanding OEM windows cd's were generally generic, and as long as you had a proper microsoft sticker on the back of box, you could install it with your product key from said sticker. Am I misinformed? please correct me if I am wrong( highly likely usually). |

| 417987 | 2006-01-05 07:39:00 | If you have a brand name PC and you have no other CD elsewhere for the drivers its probably not a OEM generic windows CD . Its a CD ROM that is for that motherboard, if you try to load that recovery CD to another computer it won't work . Its merely like a ghost image of the computer . The other thing is that CD Key will not be generic . You just cannot share CD Keys from other computer(s) . The CD key for your windows xp will be somewhere in the recovery CD files, how to extract even if you got the recovery CD with you I have no idea for windows xp . Thou for win9x its ont the registry . |

| 417988 | 2006-01-05 07:48:00 | Well, I would give up, trying to install this driver . If the Gigabyte file doesnt work, nothing will . Tell whoever to buy another cheap PCI soundcard, and disable the onboard soundcard . Its either stuffed, or coz of this SMB bus controller, if the drivers for this haven't been installed / found yet . |

| 417989 | 2006-01-05 07:51:00 | The CD key for your windows xp will be somewhere in the recovery CD files he has already said...it's on the system unit...exactly where it's supposed to be |
