Error 80070103 with Conexant AC- Link

hi I'm trying to install the multimedia sound controller of Conexant AC -
Link Audio but it marks that the system can not find the specified document,
what can i do?

Hi there,

For starters you could post in one topic

I assume your sound was working just fine before you decided to "improve" it
by updating?

You took an windows update for your hardware I presume, this is not a good
idea unless you want problems, take drivers if your hardware needs it
because it is not working proper (!) from the manufacturers site in this
case conexant.

Try rolling back on the driver and if your sound works fine leave it be:
just fine.

Best regards,
Michel Denie

I have a GW tablet which I put a clean copy of Vista on. Speakers were
working. I went to Gateway and downloaded the Conexant Audio drivers for
Vista 32 and ran the install. Now I don't have any audio at all. Also,
every time I try to run the driver install Vista device manager finds new
hardware but then fails with a "file not found" message. I have no clue what
file it is trying to find.

I've done the F8 thing and disable checking for signed drivers. I've
uninstalled the device, deleted the driver files, but Vista still can't find
the default driver for the Conexant audio. I have then tried reinstalling
the drivers from Gateway but still no luck. It seems like now Vista has some
pointers to driver files that just don't exist. I spent a lot of
frustraiting time with Gateway support, but no luck (other than the standby
"reinstall Vista").

What gives? I would have thought Vista 32 Conexant drivers would at least
install. How do I find out what file device manager is looking for but can't
find?

Hi there,

Your problem seems not to be related to windows update since you are
downloading and attempting to install drivers you downloaded from gateway.

I suggest you leave the sound working fine with the standard driver and do
not try to FIX" it.

This might be related to your problem even though it is for 64 bit version

If you still want to install the gateway driver I suggest you post his in
the vista hardware devices group, you can find all newsgroups here:

Thanks for the reply, Michel... I've tried the suggestions in the thread
you recommended I review... I've tried loading RealTek drivers, drivers from
HP, drivers from Toshiba, drivers from Semitek, and disabling driver signage
checking. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I can't get any of them to work.

Do you know a way to force installation of XP drivers onto a Vista system.
One thread said they had luck installing XP and then upgrading to Vista...
something like the Vista driver update worked then becasue there were already
existing drivers on the system.

Also, I'm trying to go back to just the Vista drivers (although my Mic did
not work with the basic Vista drivers), but now, even though I have deleted
the Gateway Conexant drivers, I still get the same error (file not found)
from device manager. Seems like there is now a pointer fixed somewhere in
the registry(?) that isn't allowing a default back to the standard Vista
drivers (even after I uninstall the Multimedia Audio Controller.)

Hello Norm,

You are most welcome,

I suggest you post your problem in the proper group for your hardware/driver
related problem as I suggested earlier in this thread..

Also Vista is not an OS I am runnig due to the many problems related to it
Maybe in a year or so I will give it a try.

Good luck and best regards,

Michel Denie
