Flowah Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 I have a Gateway P-7811FX, came with Vista64, I installed XP64 right away. Managed to find compatible drivers for Wireless, Lan, Chipset, Display, but not for the audio. I am fairly sure Conexant is the company. I'm am slightly less sure that the more specific driver is the Conexant HD SmartAudio 221. I managed to get to this point once, but even though it looks like the drivers are all installed, the sound never worked. Also, that's what I see whenever I update or rollback my MS UAA Bus driver for HD audio. But if I restart, then the Conexant HD Smart Audio 221 and NVIDIA HDMI audio disappear. They will reappear if I update/rollback MS UAA again. I uninstalled the drivers for the two because they weren't working, and now whenever I update/rollback MS UAA, they show up simply as Audio Device on High-Definition Audio Bus under "Other Devices" in Device Manager. These are their ID's as best as I can tell. HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10de&dev_0005&SUBSYS_10DE0101&REV_1000\4&1E3EE8D7&0&0201 HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&dev_5051&SUBSYS_107B0698&REV_1000\4%1E3EE8D7&0&0001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Marley Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 My recommendation would be to see if you could find any similar models that came with Windows XP. Often, the 64 and 32 bit drivers are distributed in the same package. By the way, if you can get sound working properly, you should like WinXP x64. In my opinion, it is the best Windows OS to date.

Flowah Posted August 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Unfortunately, no similar Gateway models have. I've checked even some non-similar ones, but they don't have compatible drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyawatha15 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 I need this driver too! Got all the other drivers for XP x64 but can't find the audio driver anywhere. None of the other Conexant drivers seem to work either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
