[REQ] Conexant Audio drivers for HP Compaq nx6125 on Windows 7 x64

Hello there,

I have an HP Compaq nx6125 on which I installed Windows 7 64 bits (base system was Windows XP 64 bits), and had some serious problems to find the right audio driver.

I've been crawling the whole web for a solution (this forum included), but all I could find was the driver for Windows 7 32 bits, as it did install, but was not working properly.

Name: Conexant AC-Link Audio
Hardware ID: PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_308B103C&REV_02
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&CC_040100
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&CC_0401
Service: CAMCAUD
GUID: {4d36e96c-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}
Driver key: {4d36e96c-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0000
Hardware name: \Device\NTPNP_PCI0011
Access path: PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_308B103C&REV_02\3&18D45AA6&0&A5

The correct driver can be found directly on the HP drivers website, by using the drivers for the Windows Vista 64-bits version:

Conexant AC97 Audio Driver for Microsoft Windows Vista (64-bit): version 6.14.10.671 10 Apr 2007

Also, most of the other drivers on the link I provided works for Windows 7 64-bit, except the ATI video drivers which won't work (I have yet to find a solution, even the drivers on the official ATI website don't work, but anyway video is generically managed by Windows 7 so it's ok).

Last related note: the latest Synaptics drivers on the Synaptics website work for the touchpad.

/EDIT: Here's the driver that installed but couldn't start (maybe it will work for Windows 7 32-bit, or else just try the drivers on the official HP website for Windows Vista 32-bit):
