I've not tried to install the audio drivers provided here before and could use some help or a guide.

I've just installed Windows 7 onto my Gateway 6860FX and although the Win7 drivers work, I'd like to install the official IDT/Sigmatel drivers.

I downloaded the unmodded drivers, but found no "setup" to even try to install them... I tried the modded drivers, but those failed to run after the restart and Windows was forced to install the old drivers.

Thanks for any tips or help.

Ok found a driver that works!! Finally, I installed it and reboot my windows 7 x64 and it seems to be all ok. I've upload the driver here. gateway_p-6860fx__p6831fx_audio_windows_7_x64.zip - 20.6 Mb

I hope it also works for you. Good luck!

Trying to download your drivers, but that's got to be the worst place I've ever seen for allowing free downloads. Where did you get the drivers from?... any chance you can provide an official download link?

Also, to someone above, so far I haven't had any problems with the video drivers. I'm currently using the 191.59 drivers if I remember correctly. As for the audio, I've downloaded and installed the Gateway v5939 drivers... the program and drivers seem to work correctly under Windows 7 (no pops or clicks of any kind), but I'd still feel better about some "official Win7" drivers... oh well.
