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

Go [URL=http://www.giga-byte.com/Motherboard/Support/Driver/Driver_GA-8SIML%20(Rev%202.0).htm]HERE[/URL] you`ll find all the drivers you want.

On the Giga-byte site when you want to find your mobo click on support motherboards/drivers/other you will find you exact model.
