    Has anyone actually got a working conexant HD audio driver for a Toshiba P100-160 Audio Driver running Win 7 64bit? ive tried many online including the one from microsoft update but none seem to work. it says its all fine but no sound comes from the speakers or headphone socket. it worked fine with xp though :(


    i might try installing a downloaded copy windows 8 on it.... if the audio works ill buy a cd key for it seeing as it's only €30 for the upgrade version

    Locate hardware id under the Device Manager>right click sound device>Details tab>Property>Hardware ID dropdown. Look for the device identifier:
    i.e: PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_05E2&SUBSYS_23931682&REV_A1 in bold is the device id.
    Throw the device ID into PCI Database which should tell you the driver your looking for, if it is a realtek card for example you can get the most up to date drivers from the realtek site

    When you had 7 installed did you try updating the audio driver by telling 7 to look in windows.old/system32 folder, just a thought?

    no when i installed win 7 it loaded the default windows driver from windows update website. that didnt work

    i tried the driver you suggested previously... again no sound.

    i tried another driver but again no sound.

    in the end i gave up looking for one as it seems its a very common problem with toshiba.. they seem to have very very poor vista/win 7 64bit driver support for their satellite range of laptops.

    i put xp back on it and installed the xp driver from toshiba and it works fine now.

    it's a shame cos win 7 x64 runs very good on that laptop except for the soundcard issue.

    This laptop is my mother's and it really needed to be cleansed as she had tons of virus's on it. Personally i'd never buy a toshiba, acer, or sony laptop.

    The last laptop i had was a Dell inspiron 8200 and that thing lasted 10 years before it finally started to show it's age. It still works but the mouse plate is faulty on it but with a usb mouse it still works.


    NOTE TO SELF: after finishing restoring this laptop use Bart PE to make a disc image so i can easy restore in future. :o
