NEED DV5000 CONEXANT AC-LINK x64 DRIVER

Apologies if this is a repeated thread, but all the posts i found are about dv6000t, 8000, etc.
i have an HP Pavillion dv5000 CTO notebook with the amd turion 64 ml-32 bought from hp.com, I tried installing both xp 64 and vista 64, and all drivers load correctly except for the conexant ac-link audio. It says "Failure" at the result screen, and then i tried manually installing it from the device manager. Then i got "this device cannot start" i tried realtek ac97 drivers, compaq conexant drivers, none worked. The only solution that worked was when i installed the conxexant ac97 vista x64 driver from hp.com but i had to press f8 on bootup to select "disable driver signing". then i got sound but my headphone jack didnt work. I really want to use x64 vista cuz i have noticed it does perform faster and i can have many applications running at the same time. Please help me! i'm pulling my hair out here! lol j.k.

any ideas? or drivers in the works? thanks in advance

I uploaded a driver at http://www.mediafire.com/?03hzn0dzdzz that should work for you, but in Vista-64 you'll still need to press F8 to disable driver signing to get the driver to load, and I doubt it's going to function better than the one HP posted (I'm assuming you mean the driver at ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp35001-35500/sp35271.exe ). That should be the best driver to use.

 

thanks for the reply, i already tried the audio64a.zip and it did give me sound but my mute button didnt light up and the speakers give a "pop" at boot up and shut down. i guess i'll have to deal with it until a better driver comes out

anyone else have this model notebook and have any solutions?
