HA! Gateway is the WORST! They tell you to download the drivers for your notebook...they install and then code 10!!!!
I'll cut to the chase with the solution, but I could go on for HOURS about how bad they are! I wish we could all BILL them for our time and frustration! If this solution helps you, think about making a donation to our dog rescue (link below).

For the Conexant Ac-Link Audio Drivers/Realtek problem, here is the solution:
1. Install Realtek Audio driver: http://www.download3...M_A404.exe.html
2. Reboot
3. Download and try to install (it will fail) the Conexant AC '97 audio driver. Here is the one from Gateway http://support.gatew...p;uid=194540439
(the Gateway AC '97 driver decompresses into the c:\cabs directory (make a note of that.)
4. Go to device manager, find the Realtek AC '97 audio item under “Sound, video, and game controllers”. Right click on it and select UPDATE DRIVER.
5. Select NO if it asks to connect to Windows Update, click NEXT.
6. Select “Install from a list of specific location” and click NEXT.
7. Select “Don’t search. I will choose the driver to install” and click NEXT.
8. UN-select “Show compatible Hardware”. Now, CONEXANT should show up under manufacturer because you tried to install the driver earlier.
9. Click on CONEXANT on the left, then select “Conexant AC-Link Audio” on the right and click NEXT.
The driver will install. It may ask you for the location of some files a couple of times, keep pointing it at the c:\cabs directory.
10. You may hear sound right away (I jumped!), if not reboot and you should hear the glorious windows music!
Why don't you try installing the Realtek driver where you found it. Then return to your device manager locate the Realtek device with the yellow exclamation point and proceed. If you installed the conexant driver, even though the install failed, it should be listed under the other drivers. Did you get some other type of error when you installed it, other than the failure message?
