Hey guys,
You know, when it comes to reformatting computers, I really can't win when it comes to sound drivers! My friend has given me his Gateway Laptop, an MX6441 for me to repair for him. I reformatted it with Windows, as he did not have the disk that was provided with it. I hopped onto Gateway's website to obtain the drivers, which say they're a Conexant driver. The device on the laptop, using multiple hardware scanners says it's an ISB400 by ATI... however I can't find any such drivers. I have been reading around and I'm hearing that this device and the modem are the same... but again, Gateway's drivers don't match up.
I used Gateways, but the installation states that the device has failed. Since it's an AC'97 codec, I attempted to use one from Realtek... however while that one does install, in the control panel it says that the device cannot start. Is there anything else that I can try to use, since the manufacturers website can't even give me the correct driver?
This is for Windows XP btw.
Thanks!
