It sounds like you're encountering issues with the installation of High Definition Audio drivers on your P5GDC Pro motherboard when running Windows 7. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this problem:

1. Check Device Manager:
   • Press Windows + R and type in devmgmt.msc to open Device Manager.
   • Look for any devices with a yellow exclamation mark indicating a driver issue. If you see one related to audio, that could signify the problem.
   []Download the Correct Driver:
   • Visit the ASUS support website and download the latest High Definition Audio driver specifically designed for Windows 7 and your P5GDC Pro motherboard. Make sure to download the correct version (32-bit or 64-bit) based on your system.
   []Uninstall Existing Drivers:
   • In Device Manager, right-click on the audio device with issues and select "Uninstall device." Choose to delete the driver software for this device.
   • Reboot your computer.
   []Install the New Driver:
   • Run the driver installer that you downloaded from ASUS.
   • Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
   []Check Sound Settings:
   • After installation, right-click on the volume icon in the system tray and select "Playback devices." Make sure the correct audio output device is set as default.
2. Restart and Test:
   • After installing the drivers, restart your computer.
   • Test the audio output by playing a sound or video to see if the issue has been resolved. If you still face problems after trying these steps, you may also consider:
     • Checking the BIOS settings to ensure the audio is enabled.
     • Updating other drivers on your system, as sometimes conflicts can occur.
     • Ensuring Windows Update is up to date, as it can sometimes resolve driver-related issues.
     If these steps do not resolve the problem, feel free to provide more details about the specific error messages or issues you're encountering so that further assistance can be provided.
