Hi,
Yes, if you prep them on another machine (Or even the target one if
you wanted scene as you have speech), it gives you a script that you
run which extracts the packs and installs the required drivers and
then cleans up after itsself. It can take a while to download all of
the packs but once you've done it, it does come in very handy.
Audio drivers can be a bit problematic sometimes so I do feel your
pain. A while back I found a joblot of basic creative pci cards on
eBay, so if after a couple of hours I'm unable to get audio working I
just bung one of them in since Windows has drivers for them. It
doesn't really solve the problem as in you still haven't found the
correct drivers, but from a users point of view they can still listen
to their music so they probably won't notice the difference. It's a
little bit different in your situation though since you're looking for
chipset as well.
Cheers,
Ben.

Dear master, Driverpacks.exe will use HAL capability of Windows to autodetect devices, it can even safely update devices assigned as system devices in control panel, so even chipset would be updated.
Check right radio button, install drivers, default radio button is set to install programs and drivers. Use NVDA to carefully read The WEB interface of this program.
System can be updated without no need to reinstall it. Please keep in mind, that when Intel chipsets will be updated, system will plug and unplug The USB devices, so You can lose speech of NVDA.
I will tell You about offline driver update tool compatible with Windows preinstalled environment, so You would update offline system from running Windows preinstalled environment without issues.
But this information will may be come tomorrow.
Driverpacks solution can not be used from Windows PE, plug and play calls and HAL calls are incompatible with this mode of Windows operating system.
