Realtek HD driver here, get the one with the Microsoft UAA includeded, first one
http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/M...ProductID=2521
now this is strange, Gateway offer a Soundmax driver, is this the one you tried to install
http://support.gateway.com/support/d...s=Windows%20XP
the board at Gateway is not the board you have, nor is it the same chipset, also the date for the comp is 2002 and your BIOS is 2007, looks to have had a different board installed, get the driver from Gigabyte
Set a System Restore Point before installing just in case
Start / All Programs / Accessories / System Tools / System Restore – click radio button Create a restore point and follow instructions
Also having sound problems
Linear Mode
