Hi:

See if the audio driver for 64 bit that I modified works for you...

Here is the link to my public skydriver folder.  Download the file labeled sp35558 (2).

https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=832F4957D2E51B93%21263

Unzip and manually install it as follows...

Go to the device manager and click on the multimedia audio controller needing drivers.

Then click on the driver tab.  Click on Update Driver.  Select the browse my computer for driver software option and browse to the driver folder you unzipped.  Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked and see if the driver installs that way.

If not, please post the hardware ID for the multimedia audio controller.

To find the hardware, ID, go to the device manager and click on the multimedia audio controller needing drivers.

Then click on the Details tab at the top of the multimedia audio controller window.

Now you see a Property drop down list.  Drop down on that and select the second item (Hardware ID's).

Post the top string of characters you see in the window.
