You do realize that the latest audio drivers for your board are for Windows 7, right? While that may work, I can't guarantee it.
Your best option would probably be to spend like $10 and get a USB sound card. I mean, even the cheap stuff will sound better than the onboard audio on such an old board. You'll still need to have speakers, of course.

Here a pretty basic one for $5-ish: https://www.amazon.com/external-Adapter-Windows-Microphone-SD-CM-UAUD/dp/B001MSS6CS
Here's a slightly more premium one for $10-ish: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812186171
@scout_03 the specs page on Gigabyte's website gives me "8 Channels ALC888 Audio controller"

1) The REALTEK link should be correct (v2.82 and 250MB or so is the correct one for 64-bit)
Though you should still have basic audio already after W10 installs.
2) Did you confirm the SPEAKERS work with another computer or device?
3) if unsure on speakers, try other speakers or headphones
4) STEREO speakers should use the GREEN, stereo output from the motherboard (may be a different color)
5) right-click the audio icon and select "playback devices" to ensure that the REALTEK is selected (assuming you use the Realtek output from the motherboard)
6) make sure AUDIO is not disabled in the motherboard BIOS (usually boot into with "F2" on system boot)
7) if all that fails you'll need a PCI, PCIe, or USB device to add sound (or if the monitor has speakers or audio passthrough only to desktop speakers you can use audio from a DP or HDMI output which most video cards support. If using the video card you must also select it in playback devices.. it does not use the motherboard audio chip)

Has pretty great reviews. I saw the other SYBA product above, but this seems to have better customer feedback. No need for volume control for a desktop device as you'd do that in software (audio icon), as well as the desktop speakers.
Depending on how load the desktop speakers go, you might just set the audio link to 50% then use the speaker volume knob to control audio.
If you need cheap speakers too, make sure they have a headphone jack at least.

Type "Device Manager" into the start menu. When it opens up, right click on the drivers you're missing, click "Properties". Then click on the "Details" tab, and on the "Property" dropdown menu, make sure "Hardware IDs" is selected. Once selected, copy and past one of the IDs that are listed and past them into Google.
Or you can right click on the driver you're missing, and click "Update driver" and then select "Search automatically for updated driver software". Windows 10 in my experience has always been able to find 95% of missing drivers.

Instead of the speakers, what happens if you plug a pair of known working headphones into the PC where you would plug the speakers in?
