m6750 XP Audio (of course)

Welcome to my nightmare.
I have an M6750 that has been downgraded to XP Pro by a local "guru" and at great expense; however, he finally gave up on the sound driver issue. I decided to spend my time rather than pay for his, so I've been googling, loading, uninstalling,rebooting ad infinitum and I'm at my wit's end. HELP!
I've searched this and every forum over some weeks and have not found relief. Gateway doesn't support XP on this machine. Xp drivers and Vista drivers from Gateway's page have been tried. Numerous drivers mentioned inn various threads have been tried from Dell, HP, Lenovo and Bill's radiator, computer and live bait shop; to no relief.

The 6750 uses the T5450 with the 965 chipset and the sound device shows up as "Sigma Tel High Definition Audio Codec"
Most of the drivers i've seen offered are for Sigma Tel 9250 cards or others. There MUST be someone who has found (or hacked) a working driver for this comb?!?!?

Any help? Ricky

You're playing with fire when you downgrade Operating Systems when there is no support for them.

Dukefrukem: Thanks for that helpful guidance. So, are you saying that I should stay with OEM?

Qhn: Thanks, for real. I have been d'l-ing stuff from that page for days with out relief.
In other threads involving Sigma Tel audio I seen lots of Gateways discussed with the M6750 mentioned sporadically. So far, I've not found any info that an M6750 has been fixed tho some machines with different chipsets and/or different Sigmatel devices have.
Just in case anyone reading this is keeping score, I've downloaded, manually push-installed, uninstalled the following drivers:

92XXM4
20007-002-001
R158235 (Dell)
"sound pgg 32hd 51049460
758-001-001
715-001-001
DD00460-003-001
D00478-001-003
00-560-002-001
D00491-001-001
589-001-001
673-001-001
664-001-001
583-003-001
9536675
Plus maybe a dozen others that I didn't write down.
ALL of these resulted in either a Code 10 or "Device not shown"

Somebody must have the real answer(!?)

I gave up on getting a sound driver for this machine as apparently one has not been created by Sigmatel to mate this hardware with XP. This laptop has been stashed in storage for a couple of years. I now need to press it into service, so the plan du jour is to u'g to Win7. Does anyone know of specific issues for these machines with 7? I'm hoping the Sigmatel driver is available!
To be clear, I have tried every driver I could find for XP on this. If there is now an XP driver to fix it, let me know and I'll happily leave it an XP machine.

Just go for Windows 7 - they have better devices drivers support, even on the oldest machines
