To all with HP/Compaq Audio Problems
Thanks everyone who contributes to these posts!! you're all great people!!...
i have an HP pavilion dv1000t with the same problem(Conexant audio driver error) but thanks to your posts about installing it manually i could solve... or i'd rather say you solve it for me... thanks again and if it's not some kind of abuse of your knowledge... do you know anything about why i can't use my integrated webcam 1000... it says its installed correctly, yet it isn't shown at the scaners and cameras section ... or does it have something to do with the fact that in the device manager i have some issues with some Base system devices PCI bus 5, device 9, function 2,3 and 4??? -- Alexis¬¬ "Thracky" wrote: Hello all, Here's what I've figured out thus far. There is currently NO possible way in my knowledge to get any drivers working with x64 Vista with the Conexant audio chips, which is what everyone who is having issues has on their respective notebooks. However, there's a lot more hope if you can cope with only running the x86 Vista ;-) Basically as far as I can tell the standard xp drivers should work just fine as I am using them right now on a Compaq V2575 which uses the Conexant AC-Link Audio. Download the respective driver from the HP website for your model, generally the file you download will be a self-extracting archive that will pop itself somewhere (Usually C:\swsetup\some subdir) and then it will automatically run the program to install the drivers itself, cancel that program, find the program (or any and all exe's for that driver package in the swsetup directory) and make sure that you set windows xp with service pack 2 compatibility for them. I'm sure manually installing the drivers would also work, so really either way there should be no issue with sound as long as you're willing to stick with x86 for now. |
