Upgraded to Win7 - various audio not working

If it's not one thing, it's another... I'm having a bad week with audio it seems.

On my main PC, I upgraded to Windows 7 a couple of weeks back. Now, skype is failling, ventrilo is failing. After doing a little research, ventrilo FAQ's confirmed what i suspected: There is something seriously wrong with your sound card drivers or sound mixer configuration. ...

Here is what I have as far as audio / mobo
MOTHERBOARD: Asus P6T SE Intel X58 Chipset CrossFireX Mainboard Triple-Channel DDR3/1600 SATA RAID w/ eSATA,GbLAN,USB2.0,IEEE1394a,&7.1Audio
(TechSpot reviewed it highly and I went for it!)

I did find this for drivers...

but I'm not familiar with this site, and as I mentioned in another thread, I'm not very well versed in Mobo/Sound card driver updating, etc.

Can one of you kind techspot folks point me in the right direction?
