    I hesitate changing this driver once I get it working. It can be a session to have earphones recognized automatically. My current driver is 4.98.4.60.

    On the other hand, do you have a link to 4.98.6.61? Just in case I am feeling adventurous.

    Thanks. Maybe someone will try it and report. Upgrading for upgrade's sake is not always wise, especially with quirky drivers.

    Audio_Conexant_4.119.0.60_W7x86_A.zip I think this is only for x86? Will it work on x64?
