Anyone got a Windows 7 solution for Conexant AC-Link Audio drivers?

[Terencek]

I'm stuck with a Windows 7 problem apparently affecting many users of Conexant AC-Link Audio cards worldwide, wonder if anyone here has a fix? It's in a four-year-old Toshiba Satellite L20 notebook, so I'm stuck with it -- but ATI has apparently not updated the drivers for Windows 7, so I have limited functionality no matter what I do, mainly only MONO recording. Any ideas among our many geniuses out there?

ATI wants you to buy a new card, writing new drivers does not generate more revenue

Another discussion with links. Not sure if it will help though.

My wife has an old Toshiba, must go check which one when I get home. I battled forever to get the sound working, Eventually I uninstalled the driver in computer management, rebooted, let the auto online check run for a driver... and that worked.

Edit: At home, the lappy is a Toshiba L20-181, 1.6 celeron. Running 2 gig of ram on it. Yeah, uninstall the audio driver under computer management, then let windows do its search online for a driver. But I have not tried recording sound... so dunno if that will help

Yes thanks, did that and the machine is running the drivers found automatically online. Playing audio is fine with these drivers, but my problem is recording, which will only work in Mono whether using a microphone or Stereo Mix or any other input. Ironically I didn't have this problem when this same machine was running XP, but W7 will not accept the XP drivers even if I try to force it.

Yeah, 7 won't accept XP drivers, as the whole audio subsytem changed back in Vista already. Heaven knows how much grief that caused Creative sound card owners like me...
