[Solved] GA-P55-UD3R: Windows 7 x64, which drivers to install?

Just built a GA-P55-UD3R with an i5-750 (from the Fry's deal). I installed Windows 7 x64 and I'm not sure which drivers (if any) to install. I've already updated my bios to the latest version (which solved the iPhone sync issue), but so far everything is running fine without any additional drivers. On Gigabyte's website, the following drivers show up for Win7 x64:

Audio:
-Realtek Function driver for Realtek Azalia audio chip (r2.34)

Chipset:
-Intel INF installation (9.1.1.1020)

LAN:
-Realtek Ethernet Diagnostic Utility (1.0.0)
-Realtek LAN Driver (7.006.0820.2009)

SATA RAID:
-GIGABYTE SATA2 Driver (1.17.51.02)
-Intel SATA RAID Driver (8.9.0.1023)

I'm not running RAID, just one hard drive in ACHI.

Thanks!

Thanks bilbat - just installed those three drivers and everything looks good.

(And thanks for the warning on the Windows update Realtek LAN driver...I already fell for that one last weekend, so as of then they were still pumping it out.)

gotta select front audio from the realtek controll pannel i believe

I'm, frankly, appalled at Antec's documentation (or, actually, lack thereof...) This is the sloppiest crap I've ever seen from an otherwise (supposedly) respectable case manufacturer - somewhat glad I never managed to buy anything from them - and certainly won't ever in the future after seeing this! They document every other connector pin-out in the whole damned case, except the one that is most likely to present a problem, nor do they provide a picture of it at all. From looking at the pin-out for the individual wires that they have provided, my guess is that your problem is it is not an Intel HD connection (which your board assumes by default) - it lacks the logic detect pin that identifies these - I think it is an 'AC'97'; for reference, the Intel spec for both is here:
http://www.formfactors.org/develop [...] 04-005.pdf
pp 19-25...

I pulled manuals for a couple more comparable Antecs, and this ill-documented mess seems to be standard for them - there are no pin locations given anywhere; they simply call the individual connectors out, well, individually, so I'm guessing (hoping) that they are labeled somehow similarly. First, a quote:
"There is an Intel standard 10-pin connector (with 7 individual wires with connec-
tors) coming out from the front panel speaker and microphone connection. If your
motherboard supports Intel’s standard onboard audio connector, you can plug the
10-pin connector directly onto the board. For non-Intel standard audio connections,
you will need to plug the seven individual connectors in as follows:"

After each listed item, I will follow with the corresponding pin on your MOBO in italics:
1. Microphone Signal Pin: Connect the MIC connector to this pin. [pin 1 - MIC]
2. Microphone Power: Connect the MIC-BIAS connector to this pin. [pin 3 - MIC Power]
3. Ground Pin: Connect the AUD GND connector to this pin. [pin 2 - GND]
4. Front Right Speaker Out Pin: Connect the FPOUT-R connector to this pin. [pin 5 - Line Out (R)]
5. Front Left Speaker Out Pin: Connect the FPOUT-L connector to this pin. [pin 9 - Line Out (L)]
6. Rear Right Speaker Out Pin: Connect the RET-R connector to this pin. [pin 6? - see note]
7. Rear Left Speaker Out Pin: Connect RET-L connector to this pin. [pin 10? - see note]

Now - here's the problem: for items 6 & 7, there are no pins defined in the AC'97 spec! They call them "Rear Right & Left Speaker Out Pin", but the pin designations themselves, "RET-R" & "RET-L" would normally be indicating "RETurn-R & L", which for a single driver speaker (which they are...) would, in both cases, simply be 'ground'; now, in a new HD connector (which this is not), these returns are designated, are grounds, and are on pins 6 & 10 - which is why I have them above with a question mark - as they are grounded when HD is selected by the (non-existent, in your case) 'select line' -ACZ_DET, I'm assuming they remain grounded either way - if, indeed they are grounds! You see the confusion?!?!

Here's what I would recommend - the idiots plainly state: "an Intel standard 10-pin connector", which an AC'97 is, and if it is correctly configured, it should have a 'plastic plug' in one of the pins (pin 8), so you can only plug it in one way - if this is the case, plug it in, and perform the AC'97 select procedure detailed on page 110 of your manual, item 'C'...

If you still have problems, resort to the pinouts above, and make the connections to the board connector individually - perhaps, if there is still confusion (and I'm confused, so I figure anyone would be !) maybe you can take a photo of the raggedy damned connector end itself, and either post it here or at ImageShack with a 'pointer', or email it direct to me at bilbat@wi.rr.com...

If you manage to short out the whole effing thing - I think you've got a good case to sue Antec for the damages!

This exact problem was bugging me today with Gigabyte GA-P55-UD4P, I found the answer in the glossy manual. It makes no sense, I saw that setting there earlier trying to get it to work, but logic tells you not to disable detection. That is until I read it. I was questioning myself whether I installed the wrong connector from my antec 300. Oh well.
