OK...thought this may help someone. I have a Toshiba P105 with the Conexant
High Definition Audio. Upon installing Vista RC1 I got no sound. At first
the driver loaded but I got the Code 10 error stating the driver could not
start. After deinstalling the device I could not get the driver installed. I
searched all the blogs and news boards. I found a lot of people with the
same issue and some recommendations but nothing worked.

Here is what worked for me and I hope it works for you. I tried previously
loading the XP drivers that came with my system and nothing worked. This
time, instead or running the zip file automatically I unpacked it into a
separate folder. I then went in and selected each application file's
properties and set the compatibility to XP SP2. I then went in to the device
and performed a driver update and selected my own location where the modified
files were. The results were it installed immediately and began working
immediately

I installed Vista x32 on my dv8230us without a problem except Audio. Vista
cannot find them nor can I. I have contacted HP and they state they will be
up in 45 days on their website. Has anyone been able to find drivers that
work? Or will I just have to wait?

HA HA HA like the pensioners in Florida are going to bother updating
anything on their computers after they hear about these kind of
problems...Gee..a computer without sound...Like WHO WOULD PAY FOR THIS OS? It
is worthless...The only reason people use Windows is that they don't know how
to find drivers etc..on their own..(well nowadays anyways) I mean, if you
have to do everything manually, you might as well have Ubuntu on your
computer instead...Yeah the RC1 build can't get the audio right...and how
long has this problem existed???WAKE UP MICROSOFT...

well i tried this and didn't work...don't know what else to do...i
guess i'll keep looking
