so the only thing going to the ide port is your cd-rom? if that's the case you would want to set it as master (even tho it shouldn't matter I don't think), ... what do you mean windows doesn't regconize the cdrom to install windows? you have a copy of windows on the system and you want to re-install? or your bios doesn't recognize the drive therefore you cannot install windows?

You're going to have to rephrase this and be a hell of a lot more specific:
1. What hardware do you have EXACTLY? List every piece of hardware you have in your machine.
2. Does the bios SEE all your devices? Can it see your Sata HD, IDE HD, CDROM drive?
3. What is the jumper configuration for all your drives? All SATA drives should be set to "Master."
You can't have two IDE drives and one IDE CDROM drive because there's only one IDE port and it only allows two IDE devices. The best you could opt for is a setup like mine where you have an IDE-->Sata converter attached to one of the drives.

you need to turn on the jmicron controller in BIOS and set it to IDE mode

have you tried looking for updates on the gigabyte website, maybe you have a bad motherboard if you're having so many issues with it? bad IDE port then bad sound sounds like too many issues on one board to me... did you use the drivers off the disc supplied with the ds3?

try this, :
go to control panel > sounds
chek if the speaker is in the default setting.
