need audio drivers for Gateway MX3560

**kahni** · January 14th, 2006, 08:33 PM

hello everyone, i just formatted my gateway MX3560 and installed a fresh copy of winxp sp2,upon completion of installation, a bunch of drivers were missing so i got what i could from gateway's site, the only driver i'm missing is the audio driver. the audio driver supplied on gateways site DOES NOT work, and i tried everything i could find with no luck.
If anyone can help me out , I also did a resaerch on google and the only thing what i find out was that many users from this gateway MX3560 have the same problem,
So i hope i can get help in this forum
Thanks in advance

have you tried the realtek drivers from realtek's website?

http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...&Software=True

chances are its a ac97 audio chip so these drivers should work.

yes I tryed the driver from realtek but during the installation windows crashes with the blue screen.
I checked also some other forums and I found a couple of users they have the same problem and no resolution for the problem.

Try one of the ac97 drivers here http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx...D=1&CatID=1010
and here http://support.intel.com/support/mot.../cs-013142.htm
There are other ac97 codec and chip suppliers, I just saw one the other day that I've never heard of before but I sure can't remember what company it was.
Good luck.

Many manufacturers use the same model sound card. A driver is a driver.
After some searching it would seem you need drivers for a Anolog Device card.

I have the same problem as the first post. I just formatted my gateway MX3560 and installed a fresh copy of winxp sp2,upon completion of installation, a bunch of drivers were missing so i got what i could from gateway's site.

My device manager shows that I have 4 devices not recognised. Among of which is the Audio Device manager. I know I have a Realtek and tried to download the AC97 from their site. Every time i'm my computer begins the install their is a systme error and my laptop reboots.

Any suggestions? Working on atleast getting my sound back.
