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.
