teknomedic Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 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.

Guest Sgtbash Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Hey Man, I have the exact same setup as you (p6860fx windows 64 bit) and any driver I install for the gfx card gives me crackly audio except the runs from gateway that are ancient. Is you setup fine? (My audio drivers installed fine btw) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hendrickson_NZ Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I'm having the same issues on my P6831 fx, its either not working after reboot on sleep. The windows installed x64 driver crackles and is horrible! Any ideas on how to fix this. Modded drivers on this site don't seem to work!

Guest Guest Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Guest nilum Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 It looks like that download no longer is available at the link provided. Could someone please re-upload to a place like mediafire? So far I haven't found a driver that has worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I haven't found a driver that has worked. what kind of Gateway laptop do you use? try the Gateway IDT HD Audio 6.10.5939 drivers; you may have to run the IDT PC audio setup program in "Vista Compatibility Mode" in order for the drivers to install correctly under Windows Seven. I'm having the same issues on my P6831 fx, its either not working after reboot on sleep. The windows installed x64 driver crackles and is horrible! Any ideas on how to fix this. Modded drivers on this site don't seem to work! try updating the wireless LAN drivers or disable the "B" band from the WLAN card's properties in Device Manager. those solutions seem to resolve most of the audio crackling/stuttering problems. I'd also disable Autoplay in Win7 as the Autoplay features for CD/DVD & removable drives can also cause those crackling problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike C Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Hey guys, i know this is a old thread, but this is the only place to have some sort of solution available... HAD. there's a link to a driver on this page - 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 But now it's gone. I just installed Win 7 x64 on my P-6831 FX and after updating my drivers, i noticed the audio for my HDMI connection is still not available as it was in vista. Can anyone guide me to a working Audio Driver? Any help would appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
