Audio drivers on gateway GT5438

[slightlyhuman]

Have a gateway GT5438. Upgraded to windows 7 with a student discount I bought. Can't find any audio drivers. The motherboard is an INTEL e210882. I've looked around but no luck thus far.

Win 7 32-bit, btw.

DriverPack Solution has the largest driver database. You can download the entire DriverPack Solution (3 Gb), or download:

DriverPack Solution 12.3 Lite.

It scans your computer hardware and offers a download from the Internet unidentified driver site. This is my "go to" when I need hard-to-find drivers.

downloaded the free version, very confusing program. tried downloading the 3gb version, no seeders. it's just sitting there in my torrent program.

Open Device Manager and right-click on your audio device, select Properties.

In the dialog box click the Details tab. Be sure "Device Instance Id" is selected in the drop-down menu.

Highlight the "PCI\VEN_XXXX....." string in the window. Ctrl+C to copy to clipboard. Open Notepad, right-click>Paste.

This is the string that Driverpack Solution needs so it can search for the driver.

e210882 is not an Intel model number. Look again on your board.
