Gateway offer no drivers but this is the SigmaTel audio driver in your system http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/SOU...14013887.shtml

Set a System Restore Point before installing drivers just in case
Start / All Programs / Accessories / System Tools / System Restore / select Create a restore point and follow instructions
