Version 7.0.0.5
Conexant Systems, Inc. This document is generic for Windows XP/2000/2003/Vista/Windows7. 32bit and 64bit drivers.
There are two different audio driver packages. One works on Windows Vista and Windows 7. One works on Windows XP/2K/2003.
You must use the correct driver package to match your operating system
Note 1: On Windows Vista and Windows 7 the Microsoft audio function driver installs by default. Running the audio
installation procedure below will replace the Microsoft driver with the Conexant audio driver.
Note 2: On Windows XP and Windows 2000 (and early versions of 2003) you need to install a QFE to allow an HD Audio driver
to install. This QFE is made available by Microsoft, and it is required to update Operating System components before
installing the audio driver. The QFE contains the required files and a readme which outlines installation procedure.
This QFE and these files are distributed by Microsoft only; please contact them directly if you need to get them. The
QFE's may be included in the latest Service Packs for some Operating systems.
Note 3: Microsoft DirectX 9.0 or later is required
