Re: XP Drivers for Conexant Audio on Compaq Presario
Hi there!
Thanks for the link! The driver worked BUT I had to do something strange to get it to work, because at first this driver reacted the same as all the other drivers - it wouldn't work.
I found some instructions somewhere about how to get these Conexant cards to work. At first, I would go to the "Device Manager", click "Update Driver", click "No, not this time" (to avoid Windows connecting to Windows Update) and then "Install from a list or a specific location (Advanced)". Then I would select "Include this location in the search" and I would browse to the folder where the drivers were. This method failed for every single driver tried.
Instead, the instructions I found told me to choose the "Don't search. I will choose the driver to install" option, and then clicking the "Have Disk" button, and browsing in the list down to "Sound and Game Controllers" (I think this is the name of the option in the list - I'm doing this from memory!), and browsing to the sound card driver folder from there.
Windows will kick and scream at you because you're basically forcing it to use a driver that it thinks is wrong, but my sound card now works perfectly!!
Hey, how do I close this thread now??
Thanks for all your help!
