Conexant HDA and a potential cure

> 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
