I cannot get the sound drivers to work at all.
Any ideas?
Thanks

What type of sound card? Does Windows detects the sound card?, in the device manager, do you see a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark or "?".

Onboard or added sound card?

I gave up and reloaded XP. Then I loaded SP2 and them the sound card drivers. Everything works okay.
Thanks any way,

I have a gigabyte GA-M61P-S3. HD audio and I never got it to work I spent days trying to figure out why it would not detect my actual hardware (speakers/sub) when they were plugged into the port. I broke down and bought a pci soundcard and now all is well.

I have the 6 port HD onboard sound. I tried realteks drivers, gigabytes drivers from both the CD and their website, updating bios, retried all the drivers again. I tried microsoft audio bus drivers. I uninstalled XP and loaded vista, tried all of those drivers again. It never freakin worked, normally I'm not a hater when it comes to hardware (I'll buy nvidia or ati, Intel or AMD depending on what gives the most bang for my buck) but I don't think i'm going to buy gigabyte again. My next board will be Asus or Abit, I've been tempted to send this board back I just don't want to be without a computer for another 2 weeks.
