    Hey all ive been searching and searching, found some answers, found the drivers, tried them and still no go. I Trip Boot Linux, W7, and I have a 32x Version of vista installed cause my 64x disk is MIA. My 32x system wont read the wifi, correct LAN, and sound. Anyone know which drivers work for sure? Ive tried a bunch but it just defaults to the 'Generic' Drivers whenever i install them.

    I don't have mine in front of me so I can't tell you the exact audio device. I know of XP and Vista 64-bit drivers for it, have you already tried both? Its just a matter of getting drivers for that device that work with Vista 32-bit. Manufacturer of the device almost always provides drivers, and like most of the ones linked above, they're compatible with multiple OSs..
