Any generic sound card drivers for........

A Gigabyte 7VM400M-RZ motherboard?
I was able to get Win7 on an old(er) extra PC we have in our office for our secretary's kid and it runs smoothly save for the audio. All the links I've found (and tried) are for Vista/ME/XP unfortunately. I know the MB more than likely doesn't support running Win7, but was curious to know if there is a generic driver set I could use.
Any help would be appreciated so TIA

Have you tried going into device manager and having Windows look for a compatible driver automatically? I'm surprised Win 7 wouldn't have native driver support for generic AC97 audio.
This is a link to what seems to be an Win 7 compatible driver for a VIA Realtek AC97 driver. LINK
It's a .cab file, so you'll need to extract it (winrar should do it), and then go to device manager to manually update the driver and tell windows to look in the folder where you extracted the .cab file.

Yea man, couldn't find anything and I'm quite proficient with building the computers, but considering this MB doesn't support Win7.....well ya know
