Hello all,

Yesterday I did a full windows re-install because my PC was getting noticeably slower. In the past, I was able to use the driver CDs (that came with the computer parts) to install all the necessary drivers, however I wasn't able to find those CDs this time, so I installed all the drivers from the websites of the manufacturers.

Everything works fine, except the on-board sound (on the motherboard) does not work, and the computer does not detect that my sound card exists. (In device manager, no sound card shows up)

Sound card: https://www.asus.com/us/Sound-Cards/Xonar_DG/HelpDesk_Download/

When I try to download this sound card driver, it simply says "Don't support this platform" and then it quits.

Computer specs:

CPU - i5-2500k (have never overclocked it before)
MOBO - Asrock Z67 Extreme3 Gen3
GPU - MSI GeForce GTX 970 GAMING 100ME
RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3
PSU: Antec NEO ECO 620C 620W Continuous Power ATX12V v2.3 / EPS12V 80 PLUS
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium

The drivers for the MOBO are found here: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z68%20Extreme3%20Gen3/?cat=Download&os=Win764

Of these, I downloaded these in the following order:
-Realtek Lan driver ver:7048
-Realtek high definition audio driver ver:R2.62
-ASMedia USB 3.0 driver ver:1.10.1.0


If you guys could help point me in the right direction, that would be much appreciated. I'm stumped. My best guess would be that I am missing some sort of driver, because in the past, when I used the driver discs, everything installed and worked just fine.

Here is a screenshot of my device manager, I'm guessing that these yellow exclamation marks aren't supposed to be there?
