Hi all,
I am trying to restore an older IDE drive on a A7N8X Deluxe motherboard. After restoring (Acronis - which I have used successfully in the past) windows is looking for new hardware drivers. I don't have the cd that came with it and I've managed to find the ethernet drivers but I can't find the multimedia drivers for it. I can't find them on the Asus website either. Any help or advice?
Thanks
Gary

I found the manual on the Asus site. For audio it says

"Realtek ALC650 6Ch with built-in HP amplifier Integrated APU (audio processor unit) (Deluxe model only) Soundstorm Dolby Digital (AC-3) Encoder (Deluxe model only)"

Why they have no driver for it who knows. The audio driver is part of the nvidia nforce package. Found it on the nvidia site here. That package should have all the drivers you need including chipset, LAN, and audio.

Edit: The board has 2 LAN ports so you can use both the Broadcom and the Nvidia drivers.
