Gateway 400C Desktop - Sound Driver Anyone?

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.gateway2000 (More info?)

Check thr Gateway web site for info about the model of computer or, better yet,
open up the chassis and identify the audio chip on the motherboard. It is
usually placed nearby the audio connectors. Major manufacturers of audio chips
include Creative, ESS, Crystal, and ADI. My guess is Crystal, very popular on
integrated motherboards back then. Along with the chip manufacturer, the audio
part number is inscribed on the chip. Go to the web site of the chip
manufacturer or the motherboard manufacturer if the drivers aren't on the
Gateway web site. The motherboard BIOS identifier can also give a clue as to
the audio chip, if the manufacturer of the motherboard has specs for the board
on its web site. Gateway used lots of Intel-made boards, and Intel's web site
is among the best for both specifications and drivers... Ben Myers
