    Have a Biostar NF61S-M7 1.0 mother board with the cd for drivers:
    1. - nvidia MCP61 chipset
    2. - NVIDIA MCP61 display
    3. - NVIDIA MCP61 USB 2.0
    4. - Realtek [ALC861] high def audio
    Have tried # 1 and # 4 with no luck and I don't understand what the hay am doing wrong. Went to Biostar and downloaded a driver and that did not work either.
    Belarc says I have a unimodem half-duplex audio device.
    Have no red x's in device manager.
    Have win xp home.
    Please help?

    i think in ur bios setting audio device must be disable, you should enable it first then try to install it..

    enable the device from ur bios then check your device manager there should not be red x check mark on sound hardware then reinstall the driver again....

    Thanks to both of you. Don't know how to change the bios - read a bit and think I better have a friend show me.

    you should make sure the onboard sound is enabled in the BIOS, you enter the BIOS by pressing Del / F1 (check your motherboard manual for the correct key) when your PC is detecting HDDs, & it's probably in the Integrated Peripherals section of the BIOS
