This is the link to your Gigabyte 7VM400M-RZ motherboard

http://www.gigabyte-usa.com/Motherbo...7VM400M-RZ.htm

Set a System Restore Point before installing drivers just in case

You don't say which audio driver you installed but this is the one for your motherboard, download and install, if you then still do not have sound download and install the Chipset driver and RESTART before again installing the audio driver

Hope this helps
