wTF recovery disks did not come with it? Man pay that much for a new lappie I would assume the recovery disks would come with it.

So the drivers on this page won't work?

If the driver's on gateway's website don't work, I have to assume that the onboard audio hardware is damaged.

Only other thing I can suggest is driverguide.com
