Hello,

I installed vista 64 bits on my Acer Aspire 2920 6A4, using the drivers from the Acer site

Everything went well, except one thing.

I can see 1 unknown device in my device manager.

Everest Ultimate Edition identified this unknown device as:

Hardware Identification HDAUDIO\FUNC_02&VEN_11C1&DEV_1040&SUBSYS_10250100&REV_1002
Location information Internal High Definition Audio Bus

Does anybody know where I can find the right driver for this device?

I have been searching the internet for some time now, with no luck.

Please help

Configuration: Windows Vista 67bits
Firefox 3.0.1

Thank you aquarelle,

I tried both the vista 64 realtek driver and the vista-sp1 64 realtek driver as provided by Acer, but to no avail.

The unknown device is still there.

Do you reboot your computer after installation ? Often, it is necessary.

And are you sure you have got a 64 bits ? Maybe it is just the 32 bits so you have to choose it in the first list of Vista. "Pour trouver une solution � ses probl�mes, il faut s'en donner la peine."

I partly solved the unknown device problem.

In Device Manager i deleted the device and restarted my computer.
Than a new device was found and it turned out to be a Modem device on high defenition audio bus.
I used PCWizard and that identified the modem as a Foxconn.
So I installed the Acer 64bits Foxconn driver, but that one didn't work.

I still have to look into the driver subject, but I don't use a modem and I don't think I wil ever use one, having broadband internet and all that.

Thanks for the help anyway
