I recently replaced my hard-drive and now my AC97 on-board sound card wont work. Ive tried installing several drivers that I've gotten from the Acer website and the standard Windows driver, none have worked

Hi and welcome to TSF

Did you remember to install the chipset driver before the audio driver?
I searched for Veritron 5500G in vain. However, these are the downloads for the motherboard you have according to the report in your post (different computer model): http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers...iton_7500.html

Hi dcamm1987,

Did you get your Sound Driver sorted?

The chip is a SigmaTel C-Major. Unfortunately, Acer's Product Support leaves much to be desired and I've had a job getting all the drivers myself, but you can get the appropriate audio driver from:

http://support.gateway.com/support/d...206.14.01.4175

Or just go to

http://support.gateway.com/support/d.../dlcenter.asp#

and search on "C-Major" in the Driver and Download options box.

Also, I see your BIOS could use an update. The latest seems to be R2-B4 which you can get from:

ftp://ftp.support.acer-euro.com/desk...os/s88m2b4.zip

Now, can I ask you a question:

What utility did you use to print out your System Info?

HTH!

Cheers,
Al
