Sound drivers from Gateway site fail to load on laptop

Does any one know why the specific Conexant sound drivers from the Gateway
site specifically set out (on loading your serial number to get your
speficifications and access to the newest drivers) for an MX6025 would
report FAILURE to load on the set-up utility please?

There is no sound coming from this laptop whatsoever. Device Manager
reported sound working OK but exclamation marks by the multimedia section.
The site shows some Conexant drivers and a setup utility which as I say runs
and reports FAILURE on conclusion. Tried in safe mode as well. Still no
sound.

What is even more interesting is that the SOUND section in control panel
shows everything seemingly working ok including all drivers but all relevant
areas grayed out so you cant test anything.

[Have even tried a reload of Windows on this and all updates: Gateway says
this probably damaged the partition where the drivers are located and the
only way to get them back is to buy the restore utility disc from them:
Somehow I cant believe that you cant download a driver to get multimedia
going again]

Hi,
I seem to have the identical problem as you did... If you know the way to make the drivers work, PLEASE post a message. I will appreciate any kind of help.

Let me suggest that you find out the chipset for the sound drivers in your
laptop, then go to the web site of the manufacturer of the chipset to find and
download the drivers... Ben Myers
