Conexant Hi Def SmartAudio HD2 Win7 x64 Driver Problem
Only after installing Win7 Ultimate x64 on my HP dv9620us did I discover HP, apparently fulfilling their Total Care credo (total care for HP via built in obsolescence), isn't supporting Win7 on this model.
So, I installed the drivers provided by HP for Vista x64 for this model, and the NVidia drivers directly from their site. But I can't get any drivers for the Conexant Hi Def SmartAudio HD2 to work. First of all, and strangely, my machine doesn't seem to recognize the Hermosa driver -- it says it can't find any device for the driver. So, then, I actually found what seems the driver from Microsoft (Microsoft Update Catalog). I put the AMD x64 drivers in a folder on my desktop. But, when I try to install this driver, I get this message:
"Windows was unable to install your Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus. Windows could not find drivers for your device."
Why isn't this working?! I'm totally without any and all sound, which is really a problem.
Any informed guidance would be much appreciated.
Thanks!!
