Why aren't the sound drivers on my computer working after reinstalling Windows?

whats the model of the Gateway? and is it Windows XP, Vista, 7? Might just be the wrong driver.

Gateway MX6024. Windows XP. I would assume it is the wrong driver as well except that I got it from the list of drivers listed on Gateway’s website for the MX6024. :/

Its a SoundMax driver…try this one http://download.cnet.com/SoundMAX-Integrated-Digital-Audio/3000-2110_4-170204.html

gonna cross my fingers and go give it a try!

Nope….when i try to run the installer it says that it doesnt work with my computer’s hardware. Sigh!

does it say that also with the audio drivers from the Gateway site?

Download Belarc…it will tell you in detail what your hardware is http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html

With the one from Gateway it just said installation failed, this one says its not for my hardware.
Oh, Also the device manager says i hadConexant AC-Link Audio. Dont know if that makes any difference.

Ugh. I feel your pain. I eventually had to switch sound cards – but this was in a desktop, not a laptop. Try to get those drivers is all I can say.
