Hey ... I tried your drivers...and wow! it worked.
but not without its own side effects... the microphone doesn't work - the one integrated into my lenovo 3000 n100 or the one from my headphone.
any ideas on how to fix this?
Do you see the Soundmax driver icon on the bottom right tray? Click it and enter the settings console. Did you check that out to make sure the proper mic is selected and unmuted? Check the volume... from my memory the Soundmax drivers have an audio setup wizard also.
Good luck with it.
