I'm working on creating a win7 hardware independent image in 7.1.
On our Optiplex desktops (780 and 745) the sound driver isn't installing properly (Soundmax Integrated Digitial Hi Def).
Post image, in device manager, it shows as "high definition audio device" & there is no sound on the machine.
I downloaded the driver files from Dell and pointed deploy anywhere at the folder, but the only file that seems to upload is the generic ADIHdAud.inf, it's ignoring the .exe in screenshot I guess. I tried DriverMax on a known good machine - pulls same files Dell gave me.
On a post image machine, if I go to device manager and do update driver, and point it to the same driver folder from Dell, it correctly updates to Soundmax Integrated Hi Def Audio.. so I know the files it needs are in there.
It seems deploy anywhere isn't sure how to handle drivers when there is an .exe included in with them. I have a similar issue with a finger print reader driver on Latitude e6400s (unknown device shows up as Broadcom USH).
How do people handle drivers like this?
I found this old thread from a SCCM user who ran into similar issues
