Sigmatel Audio drivers won't install
Have a tablet PC that I just installed Seven onto. Even though it's an old box, Windows update found nearly all of the drivers. The one it didn't find is for the AC97 Sigmatel audio.
So, I grabbed the drivers I used for Vista (they're actually XP drivers) and tried to install them. Did this again and again, using different compatibility modes every time. Got no indications of failure, but never worked, either.
Tried removing the device and having Windows Update search for a driver. No luck.
Tried installing driver from selecting from list. Only Sigmatel driver in the list is for HD -- which I don't have.
Even tried the MS WDM driver -- and it refused to install it.
I read in another thread that there are supposedly generic AC97 drivers --but I can't figure out how to install them.
The relevant driver files from Vista are STAC97.sys and staco.dll -- which tells me this is a STACS AC97 audio chip. But I just can't figure out how to get a driver installed.
Can someone please help?
Thanks in advance
