Hi Katie,

I recovered my friends PC sound after his hard disk failed. His motherboard is GA-8SIMLNF VER 2.0 . This identity is clearly printed on the motherboard. In DirectX I believe the motherboard was identified as GA-8SIMLNF REV 1.x so this may be relevant to you.

The driver is described as ‘SigmaTel C-Major (STAC97N) for SiS audio driver’. The drive install file is called STAC97N_613109010.exe and is suitable for XP operating system.

At the time I wrote this the download link was http://support.packardbell.com/uk/item/index.php?m=download&i=REFFIUP04880400;STAC97N_613109010.exe
but if this link is invalid I suggest you go to http://support.packardbell.com/uk
and click through the site's ‘model selector’ until you get to the down load support sections for PC models IXTREME 6052 or IMEDIA 3042. You will find the audio driver installation file there. Both of these models use the GA-8SIMLNF motherboard and are manufactured by Packard Bell.
