I work at a small public library with about 14 public computers. We just bought some licenses to upgrade all the machines to Windows 7. I was about to go around and install 7 on all the PC's this morning, but I've run into a bit of a speedbump.
I'd been running Windows 7 on one of the machines for about a month as a trial to see how it would run, and it's been working great. I'm fairly sure I had sound working on that computer previously, but I came in the other day and it says there aren't any audio devices installed. Naturally, Gateway doesn't have any audio drivers for Windows 7 (that I can find, anyway) and I don't remember how I got it working previously.
Does anyone know if these drivers exist? Or perhaps does someone know how to work around this with a generic audio driver or something?
The computer is a Gateway E4100, which runs a SoundMax integrated audio card according to Gateway's site.
