Hello. I have been pulling my hair out trying to get the audio working on a Gateway M-6307 under XP SP2.
M-6307 mainboard specs:
Processor Supported: Intel® Merom Core Duo and Merom-Lite CPUs
Package: Socket-P, uFCPGA
FSB: 533/667/800 MHz
Thermal: Digital Thermal Sensor
Core logic North Bridge: Intel® GL960
South Bridge: Intel® ICH8M
Memory Base: 0 MB on motherboard
Sockets: 2 SO-DIMM sockets, both user accessible
Type: DDR2 667 MHz SO-DIMMs
Channel: Dual-channel
Maximum: 4 GB
Thermal: EXTTS Implementation
Graphics Controller: Intel® Crestline-GM
Bus: Integrated in notebook
Memory options: DMVT 3.0
Display interface: 2-CH LVDS
Brightness Control: PWM, 8-Levels
Communications FAX/Modem: Agere Delphi AM3 (MDC 1.5 form factor)
Networking: Realtek RTL8101E
Integrated wireless: Mini-card form factor
Storage Hard drive: SATA I/F, Direct connect to motherboard
Optical drive: PATA I/F, Direct connect to motherboard
Key asics Audio: SigmaTel STAC9205
HDMI: SiL 1392
ExpressCard: PCIe x 1, USB x 1 from ICH8M
Memory reader (7 in 1): RTS5158
AC Adapter receptical: 65 watt (140 CC)
Security
ACPI 2.0, WFM 2.0, SMBIOS 2.4, USB floppy disk drive boot support
PXE boot, WoLOM (Wake-on LAN on Motherboard)
SVID and SSID
SVID 0×107B and SSID 0×0380 and 0×0385 Expansion Mini-card: 2 Mini-card sockets (2 × PCIe, 2 × USB 2.0)
Docking: No Support
Power management. Graphics power management (UMA):
Processor: Support for C0 to C4 states
FSB Dynamic FSB power down
BPRI number and DPWR number control enabled
Dynamic Bus Parking
Dynamic On Die Termination disabling
Low VCCP (I/O termination voltage)
Memory: DDR bus throttling via thermal sensor
Battery charge: Standard 0.7C charge scheme
I/O ports
All the other hardware, including the intel chipset/ graphics I was able to find XP drivers that worked. The audio is killing me, though and Gateway is unwilling to supply XP supported drivers for their Vista-marketed notebooks.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks.
