hey, I recently got a new motherboard (Gigabyte 8I865GME-775GH). I installed all the drivers, but my sound still doesn't work. Anyone know what the problem could be?

Yes, speakers are plugged in and volume is up. Here is a screenshot of my audio hardware.

right, it's one of those. I might be wrong about the model of the m/b, but in several gigabyte boards there was a sound problem, when the automatic driver CD installed the Realtek AC97 driver, and the actual chip was SiS7018 (might be wrong about the number). I usually solved it by removing realtek and installing the SiS manually

No problem. I said I might be wrong about this specific model :)
Anyhow, if it's a brand new thing, and you are certain everything is installed and connected correctly, and there is no problem with the speakers - take it back to the shop, you should have warranty I suppose :)
