Then go to Device Manager and update the driver manually as follows: Run sp35558.exe to extract everything and let it strike out. If you cannot find it or you are not successful the first time or you do not want to bother with modding anything, do not worry, the manual install will work for sure. The use of the cva file is to streamline the driver install and it is kind of cool if it works. I then executed the SP35558.exe file and voila I had sound, nice crisp clear sound. I got this information from another cva file on my PC at C:/swsetup/ (This is thedefault directory for HP updates.)Īfter modding the cva file, I saved it to C /swsetup/sp35558/ I next went up about 10 lines to "" and added
( For 32 bit systems use W732HB=OEM, etc.) Scroll about half way down to "" and after "WV64UL=OEM" insert: Just right click each one and save to your desktop.(The 32 bit files are in a different subdirectory at )ĭouble click SP35558.cva and tell Windows to use Notepad to open it. Type the following into your browser address bar About half way down you will find these files. (I subsequently have found the 32 bit drivers and the procedure should be very similar except the files are SP34789.exe and SP34789.cva). Anyway, here is what you do:įirst you need 2 files which ironically enough come from HP, they are SP35558.exe and SP35558.cva They contain the Conexant drivers for Vista 圆4. It appears that this is a very common problem. The solution from HP for my model and Windows 7 was the "HP Software Advisor" which was 67MB and totaly useless.
By the way HP, the Conexant website says that they do not supply drivers even though they make the chipsets "at the request of the OEM's." Another post said that HP was not going to supply these drivers for Windows 7. Microsoft and Conexant both said that HP should supply the drivers. I scoured various forums looking for 64 bit Windows 7 drivers for Conexant audio but to no avail. I had been using an SB Audigy PCMCIA card so I am not sure when Audio was really lost however, he noticed it when I upgraded his PC. My son and I have the L2000 laptop that came with 32 bit XP and used the Conexant chipset for Audio.
