Sandi, Ok, you can use this first link to get to the main support page for your mobo. There are lots of links for support services, including the second one below where you can determine all of the latest drivers for anything attached to the board (including sound). http://www.intel.fi/support/motherboards/desktop/d845PESV/ http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=890 So, go to and bookmark the first link and then use the second to find all of the drivers available for your mobo. This won't be all of the ones for your system, but it will include some of the most important ones. At this point, you'r eonly looking to get the sound driver, but you may want to come back here and update your chipset driver later on.
