Vista - hdaudio conexant cant install

Stupid computers, ha

Here's my problem, have tried just about everything, having trouble with hdaudio driver.

cannot install manually, cannot install via win update, see pic, all files will not install and error.

Tried installing uaa, tried drivers from hp and microsoft. Nothing works, but the thing is my audio works fine. I could care less about recording, but I dont like having a component that is not working right. This is on a hpdv9700z notebook, running x64 ultimate.

I cant count the number of times I have uninstalled and rebooted and installed new update. I got one to work for conexant audio but It didnt remove this error.

I have run sfc /scannow and it does come up with errors but I cant find them in the log file. says alot of stuff cant make sense of most of it but it doesnt mention bad inf or anything about the audio. Possible i have a corrupt inf file? if so how do I replace it with out a vista dvd?


Any and all ideas are welcome.
