...i am pretty sure i tried them, but i will go back and try them again.
i have here a screenshot of everest.  i could get most of the top half of the screen.  shouldn't the chipset drivers be recognized by some KIND of name?  they should not be "unknown" should they?
It can't identify the motherboard, either.  Don't worry about it.
You can try CPU-Z, but I don't think it will do any better:  http://www.cpuid.com/
Keep working from the Device Manager, until no more Yellow Exclaimation Marks.

It's an Asus motherboard with a mix of chips, not all from the same manuf.

Download and save the drivers in a safe place, so you never have to do it again.universal audio architecture.  high definition audio bus driver.  the original driver won't install without it.  

that's what i went to google for.  i did the wrong thing, sorry.  my fault.  i should have came here and asked.
i thought i GOT the right thing and it seemed to install properly.  unfortunately it didn't work.

so do i have the drivers installed for the chipset properly?

by the way, thanks for all the help.  my "driver" skills leave alot to be desired. i forgot to MENTION that i am still getting that same error about the audio drivers.Realtek ALC 883 chipset from this (your specs).
This will work:  http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4902

Windows 2000/XP WHQL Supporting: ALC880, ALC882, ALC883, ALC885, ALC888, ALC889, ALC892, ALC861VC, ALC861VD, ALC660, ALC662, ALC663, ALC665, ALC260, ALC262, ALC267,ALC268, ALC269, ALC270, ALC272, ALC273, ALC887,ALC670, ALC275, ALC680

I use the same driver on 1 of my P4's.  1 driver PACKAGE covers most all the Realtek audio chips.

i'm doing it right now.  thanks. Quote from: ejames82 on June 07, 2010, 06:59:39 PM

HP/Compaq & Dell are the easiest to get info on.
HP/Compaq = www.support.hp.comacknowledged.

i have to reboot.  those drivers seemed to do the same thing as the others did. Quote from: ejames82 on June 07, 2010, 07:20:18 PM

If it doesn't work:
1.  The chip is dead.
2.  Speakers are disconnected.
3.  Volume too low.
4.  You need a hearing aid (LOL).i have here a screenshot of cpu-z

[recovering disk space - old attachment deleted by admin]CPU-Z matches the spec for the chipset
GeForce 6150 LE from the spec, GeForce 6150 from CPU-Z
close enough!!
What about the audio?sorry if i am mixing up the subjects (audio, chipset, vise versa)

so do you think the chipset drivers are squared away?

here is a screenshot of the device manager, just taken.  the yellow exclamation point that was at the usb is now gone.  still a problem with audio.  i must be doing something wrong.  all i have been doing is running the exe after downloading it.

[recovering disk space - old attachment deleted by admin]Chipset is done.  They are under System Devices.

Highlight each of the 3 Exclaims separately and press the DEL key.  If they don't come back, you're done.  You can look at the other ones (Sound, Network, Display Adapter) by clicking on the +sign in front of each, then take a new screen shot.

Driver Names & Device Manager Names are not a direct match, which could be confusing you, too.

Audio=Sound, video & game controllers
Graphics=Display Adapter
LAN=NetworkComputer_Commando,

excellent post.  i remember seeing the "exploded view" of the system devices back when i installed the chipset drivers.  that installation went without any fuss whatsoever, but being a newbie, i'm always thinking that something went wrong.  the chipset issue can be laid to rest.

"Highlight each of the 3 Exclaims separately and press the DEL key.  If they don't come back, you're done.  You can look at the other ones (Sound, Network, Display Adapter) by clicking on the +sign in front of each, then take a new screen shot."
i did just that.  screenshot included.

will this beautiful sight survive a reboot?

[recovering disk space - old attachment deleted by admin]oops, wrong screenshot.

[recovering disk space - old attachment deleted by admin]lol, CHECK this out.  it happened after reboot.
