This document provides installation and removal instructions for Conexant audio drivers for Windows XP/2000/2003/Vista/Windows 7 systems. There are separate driver packages for Windows Vista/7 and Windows XP/2000/2003. The document outlines steps to install and uninstall the drivers manually or in unattended silent mode. It also notes requirements like removing any existing audio driver first and needing a Microsoft QFE for some older operating systems.

1. 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
