XP/2000/2003/Vista/Windows7. 32bit and 64bit drivers.
There are two different audio driver packages. One works on Windows Vista and
Windows 7. One works on Windows XP/2K/2003.
You must use the correct driver package to match your operating system
Note 1: On Windows Vista and Windows 7 the Microsoft audio function driver
installs by default. Running the audio
installation procedure below will replace the Microsoft driver with the Conexant
audio driver.
Note 2: On Windows XP and Windows 2000 (and early versions of 2003) you need to
install a QFE to allow an HD Audio driver

update Operating System components before
installing the audio driver. The QFE contains the required files and a readme
which outlines installation procedure.
This QFE and these files are distributed by Microsoft only; please contact them
directly if you need to get them. The
QFE's may be included in the latest Service Packs for some Operating systems.
