TheJerk Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Ok, I admit I haven't searched for an answer on this, but my assumption is that I wouldn't be able to phrase anything that could possibly give me any results.Ok, here's the problem. Windows seems to think my sound card, the Hercules Gamesurround Fortissimo III 7.1, is a Conexant-compatible sound card. Why's this a problem? Well, because the drivers for this particular card, from the manufacturer, aren't signed. The drivers that were on the install CD weren't signed either. As a matter of fact, none of the drivers I've seen for this device have been signed.So what ends up happening is that Windows assigns the device a name (conexant compatible sound device, or something like that), but won't install any drivers.I tried using the drivers from CD method, the driverpacks method (same principle, right? either way, I know these drivers aren't in the driverpack) as well as nLite. So far, nothing's worked. I thought about using the winnt.sif file, but then it occurred to me what the problem was (see above). My guess is, no matter how I tell Windows where the drivers are, it's not going to install them unless I force it.So, aside from using runonceex, any suggestions? I was thinking about seeing if I can remove those particular drivers from the CD (the ones that make Windows think it's something when it's not), but I wouldn't know exactly how to go about doing that.

Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Remove those Conexant drivers. Probably you can do that with nLite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
