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. James -- Efficinet Inc. "Mark D.

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... |

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... -- Alexis¬¬ "James M" wrote: OK...thought this may help someone.
