My notebook just went mute. According to the audio section of the control
panel I have no audio device. On the Sounds hardware list, all items are
working except the "Conexant high Definition Audio-Venice 5046, location
65535(Internal Definition Audio Bus). It says to reinstall the drivers for
this device (Code 18)." Where on Microsoft's download site do I go to
download this? I can't find it.

The drivers can usually be downloaded from your OEM's support site, or may
have been included by the OEM as part of the support materials and files
that came with your laptop. Microsoft is not the source for drivers,
generally, though some may be distributed via Microsoft Update.

You have go to the Manufacturer's web site for the brand of
laptop and find the download page for your specific model of
laptop. If your laptop has Windows XP x64 or Vista x64 you
need to download the drivers for that system.

Microsoft does not supply the drivers for Conexant audio
hardware.

Or, simply use the system CD that came with your machine?

This may not be the most recent, but it should work and can be updated
later.

Too many don't come with system CDs anymore.
