i got issues here cause i pulled my mates mobo outta his compy, problem is, he got his at a department store with everything preinstalled. everything including the drivers, and windows XP sp2 doesnt have em, so i've got no sound and its saying my 3.0 is a 1.5. the drivers ARENT on the gigabyte site, so where are they? i sent gigabyte a support thing, but they usually take about 3 months to get back to you, and the answer they give is completely unrelated. A: does anyone have the sound-chipset drivers? B: where can i get em now that gigabyte doesnt have them?

cheers

I'm quite sure they are on gb site. Maybe their site organization is confusing, like the majority of mobo sites.

Some sites list the discontinued products elsewhere. Get 'em all.
