SO close - Conexant AC-Link Audio Driver  

slrrls said:

You will also need to find the driver package that works with your product. Preferably I believe it will be a vista driver package and most preferably a vista 64bit if you are using win7 64bit. If you are using a 32bit win7 version then get a 32bit vista version. You can probably get the driver package from a XP driver but I'm not sure about that.
Get your driver package from HP just insert your product to the left panel on this page Software & Driver Downloads HP Pavilion ze4365US Notebook PC - HP Customer Care (United States - English)

i see the driver package only for windows xp .... what do i have to do ?
i have HP Pavilion ze2000 and windows 7 ultimate 32 bit

EDIT: i downloaded the driver package ... but i can`t understand where do i have to look after that .inf file .
I have to search for it in C:/swsetup after i install it ?

Now i have instaled it but it said : " Instalation complete" but in the middle "FAILURE"

OH yeah :X:X:X i finally made it thank you very very very much .....you`re like a god for me right now :))
Hope the others with the same problem could make it

Awesome!
Glad you got it done. I know how that can work a brain to death just trying to decide if one should keep 7 or go back to xp, much less the searching and searching and searching for an answer.
You would think HP would want to put this stuff in a faq for us.
I still love HP though, It always works with linux. They spend good money on hardware to put in
these laptops though they lack a little in support.
the others like dell just stick the cheapist crap the can get their cheap little fingers on. Nobody
writes software for crap!

I tried the link and got a 404. Can you please re-post the solution? Thank you very much.

64bitdrivers.com:: Conexant AC'97 Audio Driver for Vista/Windows 7 x64

I can still go to the link fine but you have a problem with it.

Here is all the text from that link.


Work fine too for me .
Gateway mx6455 64 bit w7
I did something different , just after editing cp6308Ba.inf , I closed all the windows , and reinstall sp35558.exe manually by setup64 inside the folder.
search ,then choose the right file and install.
Finally , I got a success !! at the end.
thanks again.

Works like a charm on my HP Pavilion DV6000. I had to manually force the driver use but after that Windows 7 X64 Home Premium accepted the driver.
Thanks a lot!!!!

Nice for HP to just point everyone here, huh?

Thats great! been working on this for two days.
Everyone be sure to wait while it installs and after it installs.
M5100 series sat and spun it's wheel for 25 to 30 minutes.
The red ball on the speaker went away and then came back
claiming the driver did not work. Finally did work though.
Be sure to reboot after all the waiting as well

hello i am running windows 7 home premieum 64bit, my laptop was a special sale compaq presario wm wallmart edition,, it came with a sempron socket 754 chip, i upgraded to the turion 64, for the sole purpose of using 64bit os, all drivers installed fine except modem and sound
both are connexant

my presario model #5305wm

connexant aclink audio
connexant modem

it took a few tries but i managed to get the hp driver sp3558 to install finally,
i had to change the string in the cp6308Ba.ini file to read
[Conexant.NTamd64]
%*WDM_AMCAUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_AMCAUD,PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_30AE103C&REV_02

%*WDM_AMCAUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_AMCAUD_DF,PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&CC_0401

the i went save as then i chose all files and named the new file cp6308Ba1.ini then click save now go and delete the original cp6308Ba.ini and rename the number 1 file to cp6308Ba now run the install64.exe should run just fine

Just in case have Windows 7(32 bit version)
1.Download sp34634.exe from Hp
2.Run sp34634.It will fail.
3.Go to C:\SWSetup\SP34634 or where you unpacked the files.
4.Open cpl308Ba using notepad,then modify it as follows.
[Conexant]
%*WDM_AMCAUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_AMCAUD_DF,<inset the hardware ID specific to your device>
%*WDM_AMCAUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_AMCAUD,PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_308B103C
%*WDM_AMCAUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_AMCAUD_DF,PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_308E103C

5.You can obtain your hardware ID by opening device manager,click "other devices" then click again the multimedia controller.Go to the details tab then under property click Hardware ID.Mine was,"PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4307&SUBSYS_0506107B&REV_02".But do not include the <> symbols(they just for enhancing readabilty).
6.After that open device manager again click other devices->multimedia controller.Go to Driver tab and click update driver or install driver.Select the option for searching it in your computer i.e. C:\SWSetup\SP34634 then click OK.
7.This method also works for the Windows(64bit) if you downloaded sp35558.exe


Awwwwesome!!! all heil Kevin!!! Thank You!!!

Other readers, if you have a 64Bit OS, be sure to download the sp35558.exe file in step 7.

I installed Win 7 and had been living with this *no driver* problem for months now. NO MORE !!!

Thanks for including the 64bit version driver too.
I followed your instructions, and it worked absolutely flawlessly !!!

Much appreciated.
I was stuck laughing that there was only audio under linux, not windows ! A few years ago, this idea that this situation exists would have been truly laughable.

Thanks friend.

You're a freakin' genius. I've been working on this for a week now and couldn't find a solution till I hit your post. For me it was sp35558 driver pack that worked but your solution was spot on.

I hope the cybergods are kind to you my friend, HP, you can burn in hell for all the good your information did me.

For those looking for a solution for an HP dv8125nr this is the ticket. Just pull the ID as described add a total of three lines and the device ID on line one and you're back and rockin'.

THANK YOU!!!!!!

I can't believe it - it REALLY WORKS!!!
It's AWESOME and FANTASTIC! I've spent half a day trying to restore my audio - and finally I got it!!! Thank u all guys! Special honour goes to Damn Man who as far as I know has first published this method.
My problem is that in the Device Manager the 'Sound, video and game controllers' tab didn't exist at all!
I did everything like XwpisONOMA, I had the same .ini file, my lines after change were the following:
%*WDM_AMCAUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_AMCAUD_DF,PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_3091103C&REV_02
%*WDM_AMCAUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_AMCAUD,PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_308B103C
%*WDM_AMCAUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_AMCAUD_DF,PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_308E103C

And after I changed it I opened the Device Manager and right-clicked "Other Devices" tab --> Update driver software --> then Browse my computer for driver software --> in the new window clicked on Choose the driver from the list of installed drivers (or smth like that) --> then chose from the list of drivers the item
Sound, video and game controllers' --> then clicked Install from the disk and browsed for the .ini file (not the folder, I chose the .ini file itself!) --> Next-->ignored all the warnings which appeared on the screen--> and here we go --> it WORKS!
P.S.My notebook is Presario Compaq R4000, and my OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit!

For anyone who has the problem of "No output audio device is installed" using Windows7 on your HP Pavilion DV5000, here are the step-by-step instructions that I've used to fix this problem:

1. Double-click the installation file to extract files. Installation will fail.

2. Click START button, right-click COMPUTER then click PROPERTIES > DEVICE MANAGER

3. Under "Other Devices" right-click SOUND CARD

4. Click UPDATE DRIVER SOFTWARE > BROWSE MY COMPUTER FOR DRIVER SOFTWARE

5. Select LET ME PICK FROM A LIST OF DEVICE DRIVERS ON MY COMPUTER

6. Select SOUND, VIDEO AND GAME CONTROLLERS > HAVE DISK > BROWSE

7. Point to where the files were extracted in Step 1, which is "C:\swsetup\sp35558"

8. Select the "cp6308Ba" file

9. Driver files should install successfully and you should restart your computer.

I hope this works for you guys. It took be a few hours to find the solution but I not have sound on my DV5000 laptop and Windows 7 seems to work even faster than Windows XP. I love it! ;-)

THANK YOU... thank you , THANK YOU...

Found the new swsetup folder on C:, edited the file cp6308Ba.inf by adding just two lines to suit my hardware ID (device manager)

%*WDM_AMCAUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_AMCAUD_DF,PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_0300107B&REV_02
%*WDM_AMCAUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_AMCAUD,PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_0300107B&REV_02

and saved the file... then ran the Setup64.exe file...

and now bob is my uncle.. chur bro!!!

Thank you thank you! (thank you)

It will work download from corner install after fail go to device manager. Click on the sound card go to details pull down hardware id copy the first one now go to where the file extracted and edit the inf file and paste at the top line so it fits in. I.e. Where it says pci/ven
and save. Works on dv5020us with windows 7 64. Copying the others mention here did not.

Crack that .inf file open. I just opened it, right under the other piece that looks similar to this, I spaced one time, pasted this line (also posted by Nastea) and "x" out of the file. It prompted me on if I wanted to save "Hells yeah..." and then did the whole thing of telling device manager to let me search and I pointed to the folder in the C:swsetup with the now modded .inf file and sure enough, given 1.5 minutes of "installing" it WORKED!!!!

Worked to fix my Conexant x64 audio on windows 7. I have a gateway mx7525. I added the following:

[Conexant.NTamd64]
%*WDM_AMCAUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_AMCAUD,PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_0506107B&REV_02
%*WDM_AMCAUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_AMCAUD,PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_0506107B
Posted by Nastea on Friday, March 5, 2010 at 23:49
I used this to help me get this to work with my Gateway MX7525, I had tried every conexant driver available on x64 platform to work on my Windows 7.

I edited the file and added:
[Conexant.NTamd64]
%*WDM_AMCAUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_AMCAUD,PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_0506107B&REV_02
%*WDM_AMCAUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_AMCAUD,PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_0506107B

And now it works great!!!!!

doing hard drive with straight win 7 b/c it had crashed. I had no sound after Iinstalled win 7. I installed the 64 bit conexant AC97 Audio drivers for Vista on my HP Pavilion zd8000 laptop from the hp.com site. The sound drivers would install but wouldn't work b/c of an error it kept saying. I did windows updates and it did 48 updates which were for office 2007 and printer drivers, as well. I now have sound and couldn't be happier with Win. 7. It is awesome, I love it. Great job, Bill Gates and staff, WOW!!!

Posted by XwpisONOMA on Wednesday, December 30, 2009 at 19:53
Hello all and happy holidays!

I did download the file SP35558.exe from this page (the "Download!" link on the top right) and run it to the default location. BUT when I opened the .inf file to edit it, I could NOT find the line suggested in earlier posts.

Here's what my file has:

[Conexant.NTamd64]
%*WDM_AMCAUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_AMCAUD,PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_308B103C
%*WDM_AMCAUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_AMCAUD_DF,PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_308E103C

and here's what the 'solution' in earlier posts says it should be:

[Conexant.NTamd64]
%*WDM_AMCAUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_AMCAUD_DF,PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_3091103C&REV_02
%*WDM_AMCAUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_AMCAUD_DF,PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_3091103C

These are two completely different things, right?

I now see that "Antonio" also noticed this discrepancy.

Anyway...

I went ahead and copied the modified line (the one with the &REV_02 at the end and copied it on top of the two lines of my original file.

So here's how my (hacked) inf file now looks:

[Conexant.NTamd64]
%*WDM_AMCAUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_AMCAUD_DF,PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_3091103C&REV_02
%*WDM_AMCAUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_AMCAUD,PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_308B103C
%*WDM_AMCAUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_AMCAUD_DF,PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_308E103C

Funny thing is, IT WORKS!?!

If I do the manual install, i.e. selecting the hardware first and then "have disk" for the location of the driver, IT DOES WORK !?! Of course it gives me a warning that this is an unsigned driver and I should not install it but I just clicked OK, installed it anyway and -again- it worked! I have sound and even microphone works ( I read other posts that with this .inf hack, sound works but not the mic, this is NOT the case with me). I have a Presario V2000 series, which really is a V2300 CTO (Part# PV341AV).

So, thank you for the hack and what is your response on the fact that the downloaded file has a different .inf file? Does it really matter? I guess if it works, who cares, right?

Thanks again!

1) Download sp35558.exe from HP
2) Run sp35558.exe. It will fail.
3) Go to directory where sp35558.exe unpacked its' files.
4) Open CP6308Ba.inf file in notepad.
5) Find line:
[Conexant.NTamd64]
%*WDM_AMCAUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_AMCAUD_DF,PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_3091103C
6) Copy line. Insert copy on new line, right above original. Add &REV_02 to end of line. It will look like this:
[Conexant.NTamd64]
%*WDM_AMCAUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_AMCAUD_DF,PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_3091103C&REV_02
%*WDM_AMCAUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_AMCAUD_DF,PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_3091103C
7) Save INF file.
8) Open device manager: Start|Control Panel|Hardware and Sound|Device Manager|Update Drivers
9) In Device Manager application navigate to "Other Devices". Pick the Media device.
10) Right Click on device and select "Update driver software".
11) In dialog click "Browse my computer for driver software"
12) New dialog appears. Click Browse button.
13) In Find Folder Dialog navigate to folder with CP6308Ba.inf file. Click Ok button.
14) Click Next button.

Hells YEAH! This worked for HP dv5000/5020us like charm! Make sure that you change the privledges to be able to rewrite the .inf file before saving it, or else you will get "Access Denied" -other than that-PERFECT!!
THANKS TO QUIANTIUM! xD

Posted by DanC on Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 21:14
Whew! Finally solved my problem! I had to do a fresh install of Win7 because all the old drivers I'd tried to install were causing the Code 39. Used Damn Man's method and it worked perfectly, except that the driver is now unsigned. Not such a huge sacrifice to hit F8 at boot though. Windows 7 goodness is finally mine!
Posted by DanC on Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 07:17
sorry, the post below was me.
Can anyone with a Presario V2000 walk through exactly how they made this work? I feel like I've tried everything...
Posted by Guest on Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 07:14
I've tried everything from automatic install to the specific "have disk" pointing, and everything in between (including Damn Man and Quantium's solutions). Every single time it ends with the driver installing but a Code 39 error making it unusable. I've even tried some Safe Mode hijinks.
Posted by thekilla4rilla on Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 06:14
worked prefect for me using "have disk" option. persario v2000 Windows7/64
Posted by DanC on Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 02:19
I should be in the same boat as Luke and Someguy, with a Compaq V2000 Turion, but whenever I try any method listed here I get a Code 39 error, "the driver is corrupted or missing". I had solved this same problem previously on Vista x64, but I've tried everything and nothing does it!
Posted by JAG1982 on Friday, August 7, 2009 at 05:13
This fix works for the dv6000 running win7 but you have to tell the computer you have a disk and walk it to the file location yourself. Thanks

Posted by gabriel on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 at 20:24
Quantium thanks for the inside info on installing the 64 bit conexeant sound driver, I have a IXP SB400 ac 97 sound card from ATI and the fix you provided made total sense and worked beautifully. I keep smacking myself in the face for not thinking of it earlier. Funny i remember making fixes in this way from old IRQ issues in the windows 98 era....lol go figure windows ..:)
besides it worked and sounds wondeful.
Thanks,Gabriel

Posted by Damn Man on Tuesday, January 13, 2009 at 17:34
The Following is a work around for CX20468-31 chipsets (some HP/Compaq/other? laptops)
BE WARNED this requires editing the .inf file and using the driver on hardware for which is was not specifically made. as a result you may unleash all sorts of bugs and/or physically damage your hardware. It works fine for me (so far) but use at your own risk.
download the softpaq file, run it and let it fail then navigate to where the package was extracted, default is c:\swsetup\sp35558 , from there edit cp6308Ba.inf and find the line
[Conexant.NTamd64]
under that add the following new line,
%*WDM_AMCAUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_AMCAUD_DF,PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_3091103C&REV_02
Save the changes to the .inf and reinstall the drivers manually from the device manager as per previous comments.

Use the "update driver" dialog in the device manager, navigating to C:\swsetup
Select the .inf file that appears and install from there.
