Default Conexant AC97 Laptop Workaround

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

All I can say is One Challenge Down and Two to Go! Hope that helps someone.

I had purchased a headset/microphone combo for use with Skype some time ago
(and it mostly sits around collecting dust) (Altec Lansing AHS302i) that
also includes a USB dongle, which both the headset and microphone connectors
plug-in to. I, on a lark, decided to see if Vista would recognize the thing
and it did. I then unplugged the headset (green) plug from the dongle and
plugged in my speakers, and PRESTO!!! Sound! So I guess, Bob really is my
uncle...

Default Conexant AC97 Laptop Workaround

Hey!! how are you all doing???
I was just wondering if somebody could help me... i have an HP pavilion
dv1000t... and it comes with stereo speakers altec lansing, which use the HD
Conexant Audio Driver, when i upgraded from Windows XP Home to Vista RC1 it
seemed to install the driver, but the speakers have no sound... i checked at
the device manager and it appears to be a problem with it... cause it
recognize my sound device as a HD audio device of microsoft and has this
error code 10 which i dont know what´s about... i also found another issues
in the manager: in the category other devices appears 3 elements called base
system related with something about pci buses... i dunno if it has something
to do with the audio problem ... if you could just help me i will
appreciate it... thanks in advance everyone...
