Hi, I've had a look about and found nothing on this. Wonder if anyone can assist.
I've got a GA-H55M-UD2H, which comes with an onboard TI firewire chip (one of the main reasons I got the board). I've got windows up and running, but the firewire is not coming up in device manager. I've tried downloading the TI driveers from their website (that forwards to unibrain and I got them from there) but trynig to install them tells me 'Setup detected no 1394 adapters on your system'.
This machine is the hub of my recording studio, and I use MOTU 896HD firewire gear to run everything through, so as you can imagine I am in fairly urgent need of a fix!
Hope someone can help,
Chris

Disabled in the BIOS?

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.
I had heard a rumour that there was sombody who used this Firewire connection and now I have found it is indeed true! ;D ;D
Seriously when you go into Device Manager is there any icon with an exclamation mark or unknown device marked against it ?
Have you installed all the chipset drivers for the motherboard ?
If you would like to list your OS and the revision of your motherboard I will try and help more.

No icon, no exclamation mark. I installed everything that come on the CD. Its rev1.3 and I'm on windows 7 64bit.
Is it possible that there is an option in the bios that controls this?

Have you checked to see if it is disabled in the BIOS like cchaos suggested ?

Having trouble getting into bios since my keyboard and mouse are wireless USB and don't seem to start working till the computer has been on 30 seconds or so. I'll have to dig out an old purple/green keyboard and mouse from somewhere. If there is an option in bios for this then there is a good chance it might be turned off. Makes sense given the rest of the board works fine.
Will report back with results.

I was only using them to try and re trigger the firewire... maybe recognize it installing a driver, since the ones it should have run automatically from windows and I can't 'run' them.
Right, I've got a non usb keyboard, gone into bio, and cant find anything that would turn firewire on or off.

If your card is as my GA-X58A-UD5 i have not option for un/validate the FireWire port
Possible is that the driver is locked after install the UniBrain driver
Solution is to search the value in config panel --> network cards and also 1394 must exist
If you have not the 1394 you have a problem
Start Regedit : search value V1394\NIC1394 .. remove the key if exist , reboot / power off
If good , after reboot you can find a new valid 1394 card
