i got the conexant ac-link (ac'97) audio card to work, but the driver is not signed (windows dislikes this greatly), and i havent tried rebooting my computer yet. i will probably have to disable device signature enforcement every time i restart.
well, i have an hp dv5000 with the same audio device, and i got sound working no less than 5 minutes ago (therefore its not impossible...). i used the sp35558 driver (from Link Removed due to 404 Error) in an unusual way. i ran the exe file, and naturally it failed. then i went to control panel...
