Isit normal for drivers from Gigabyte to install 7z? I got a notice while installing drivers from the Gigabyte site that 7z installation may have failed. I was installing the audio drivers and network drivers from their site. I found this suspicious but admit I am not a normal windows user and have been on Linux since windows 98. Something about this screamed malware.

typically the download is a zip file.

if you dont already have winzip, winrar or 7zip. download and install one of em to handle your archives.

and no ive never had a gigabyte download try to install secondary software like 7zip before allowing a driver download. (gigabyte user for over 8 years)

well ive looked at the website, the download link html the downloaded zip.

its not redirecting to download anything else. (the code for the button is transparent and goes straight to the file download, no extra code to do anything else.)

so im guessing your issue is somewhere else.

Drivers from AMD and Realtek seemed to work fine without the weirdness I got from the Gigabyte site. Except windows updates gripping that I need to install Realtek and AMD drivers. However windows also says I have the newest drivers for the same requirements. LOL this is some funny shit.

Anyhow It is what it is and all seems to work now including 5.1 audio and power profiles.
