nothing works, it doesnt even detect that I have a mic in the sound settings.

Did you try running the app I suggested?

i gave you all of the information i had, the model number is GM5258H and yes it is a gateway.
its suppose to have windows vista on it , but i put windows 7 .
and screwed myself over.

this is so frusterating!!!
and the device manager is fine.
there is one yellow thing , but idk what is it , and yes i ran that program you asked me to run Kemical , didn't do anything

I assume you have tried the driver here Gateway Support Drivers & Downloads
Some people with similar problems have reported success using this driver http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Deta...stems&lang=eng
It seems to be recommended for the 965LT board so it may work on your 965LV, generally if the installer doesn't detect any supported hardware then the process will just halt. Make sure you have "Jack Monitoring" enabled.
Since both of these are Vista drivers you may have to run them using compatability mode go get anywhere.
