Conexant Sound with RC1

I have a Toshiba P105 and it was loaded with the Conexant Sound. After the
installation of RC1 my sound stopped working. Currently it appears the
Microsoft drivers are loaded. It recognizes the device as High Definition
Audio. I try to load the Conexant XP drivers an it fails.

In device properties this is the following error:

This device cannot start. (Code 10)

I have searched the web and tried virtually all of the different drivers
from RealTek and Conexant. I cannot find Conexant Vista drivers, like
everyone else. I am not sure what sound card/chip that is in my laptop. I
have the Intel 945 GM Express chipset.

Along with this issue I also have in Other Devices drivers that did not load
in Mass Storage Controller and Unknown Device.

If anyone has recommendations on how to solve I would greatly appreciate the
assistance. Toshiba is no help since this is only RC1. You would think
Toshiba would be up to speed with Microsoft.

Thanks for your help.

OK...thought this may help someone. I have a Toshiba P105 with the Conexant
High Definition Audio. Upon installing Vista RC1 I got no sound. At first
the driver loaded but I got the Code 10 error stating the driver could not
start. After deinstalling the device I could not get the driver installed. I
searched all the blogs and news boards. I found a lot of people with the
same issue and some recommendations but nothing worked.

Here is what worked for me and I hope it works for you. I tried previously
loading the XP drivers that came with my system and nothing worked. This
time, instead or running the zip file automatically I unpacked it into a
separate folder. I then went in and selected each application file's
properties and set the compatibility to XP SP2. I then went in to the device
and performed a driver update and selected my own location where the modified
files were. The results were it installed immediately and began working
immediately

All I can say is One Challenge Down and Two to Go! Hope that helps someone.

I have a copy of the official driver if you need it (not released yet to my
knowledge)
