Hello,

I'm just about to solder in a new audio (Vista) chip into my HP Pavilion
ze5375us Notebook..! Same problem with the Conexant AC-Link Audio. No Audio..

I've tried every which way to get that driver from HP to install. I tried
the Audio64.zip with the command line.. No good either. I tried 6 other
drivers 10 different ways..Same result.. Help is on the way........Read on..

I finally got a hold of a good HP tech who is "Very aware" of this issue
with Vista. He said that HP is "presently" working on and going to release a
driver shortly that will solve this issue. So check their site for it.
