    Audio Drivers from Intel


    I am running Windows7 on an Intel D865GLC motherboard and trying to use on-board sound.
    Windows 7 will not load a driver and a visit to the Intel website reveals that they are not intending to support Windows7 drivers for such an 'old' board.
    It might be a bit 'old' but is about all I can afford !
    Does anyone know what options I have ? Maybe a Soundblaster card ? But is that Windows7 supported by Creative ?
    Anyone any thoughts ?
    Thanks

    Too bad. That motherboard came out in 2004. How long do you expect support?
    Have you considered turning off the audio and buying a PCI sound card?
    Might be time to consider an upgrade.

    Thanks Fabe,
    The MS site says all the right things but when it is installed I get Blue Screen of Death !
    No matter, will try a Creative card.
