I'll give it a go and see if I can help you

Do you have the Intel chipset drivers for that Intel based mobo installed, if not or just as a mater of course install the Chipset Drivers for the 810 ( as thats the one in the SM 370SWM board ) http://www.intel.com/design/software/drivers/platform/archived_inf.htm

Then using the below attached driver, go into device manager and double click the audio device with the yellow ! mark > choose the driver tab > click update driver > at the next box choose Specify Location of the Driver [Advanced ) > next > then browse for the location of the un-zipped below driver and open the folder, there should just be 1 file listed an .inf click then the next and follow the prompts.

or you can use Add Hardware Wizard in Control Panel to install the driver, using the below,

Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click System.
On the Device Manager tab, double-click the Sound, Video And Game Controllers branch to expand it.
Click the sound card or video card, and then click Properties.
On the Driver tab, click Update Driver, and then click Next.
Click "Display a list of all the drivers...," and then click Next.
Click Show All Hardware, then click the appropriate manufacturer and model in the Manufacturers and Models boxes, and then click Next. If the appropriate device is not listed, click Have Disk, and install the correct driver from the manufacturer's installation disk. NOTE: If you receive a message stating that the current driver may be a closer match for your hardware than the driver you have selected, click Yes.
Click Next, click Finish, and then click Yes to restart your computer.
Click to expand...

This is taken from this MSFT Page but I highlighted the bits to follow at one particular point in bold as at this point click the Have Disk and then browse for the same un-zipped folder.

ooops! forggot to ask, by installing the 810 chip do you mean to unzip(extract) it to the "system" folder or somewhere else???
i got more ????'s but i'm starting with this one.

Hi, weather is cold and occasionally wet, but thats the norm

Maybe I could have laid my post out a bit better, so here goes, the Intel Chipset is in a zip file, but once downloaded just un-zipp it to your normal place of unzipping files ( dont choose the windows folder or system folders to do this ) then the Intel Chipset file has a setup.exe so it will install the files where needed, just double click it.

Then the below is all to do with two ways of installing the Audio Drivers only.

Then from my memory, using the below attached driver, go into device manager and double click the audio device with the yellow ! mark > choose the driver tab > click update driver > at the next box choose Specify Location of the Driver [Advanced ) > next > then browse for the location of the un-zipped below driver and open the folder, there should just be 1 file listed an .inf click then the next and follow the prompts.

or you can use Add Hardware Wizard in Control Panel to install the driver, using the below,

Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click System.
On the Device Manager tab, double-click the Sound, Video And Game Controllers branch to expand it.
Click the sound card or video card, and then click Properties.
On the Driver tab, click Update Driver, and then click Next.
Click "Display a list of all the drivers...," and then click Next.
Click Show All Hardware, then click the appropriate manufacturer and model in the Manufacturers and Models boxes, and then click Next. If the appropriate device is not listed, click Have Disk, and install the correct driver from the manufacturer's installation disk.

me hopes slightly clearer this time.
