Need Gateway M320 sound driver - having no luck

[Wedge1]

I have googled quite a bit, but I think that because this notebook is so old, I can only obtain the driver by installing some "driver detective" type of software, that costs money to find the driver and allow me to download.

Can anybody provide a resource that may get me closer to the sound driver for this Gateway notebook model?

My Google found Gateway drivers right away. I entered notebook, M320, and all I need next was for what OS, and then a dowload can happen of all Gateway drivers for the M320.

Yes, I have been to Gateway's site. They do not offer a sound driver.

They also offer a Wi-Fi driver that does not recognize my controller, so i'm searching for that too.

What is the OS? Have you tried Soundmax drivers?

The OS is XP Home 32-bit. This is an old laptop. I have not tried Soundmax yet.

Hi,
instead of driver detective, try this software: http://drivergenius.eu/
is quite better and with many useful options, like driver backup and restore!

Hi Wedge1,

Can you please follow this link and paste out the following for me?

Since its winXP you won't be able to copy/paste it (that started in vista), but can you take a screenshot at least or manually type it out? The first line in Hardware ID is most important.
