The link worked but the drivers didnt, a little more help please!

Follow the link for realtek and choose the xp driver. Do you have SP3 installed?

Up to date 100% The first thing i did when i re-installed xp was update it.
I'll try re-installing it.
One question from me,
Why are you using IE8 Why not 9?
Just wondering...

Because I can. I don't like IE 9.

The Thing is, I keep re-installing the drivers and it just wont work! i Dont get any sound out of my speakers. They are plugged in, turned on and the volume up where i should be able to hear it AND IT STILL WONT WORK!

Under control panel- sound - does it say any audio device? Or is It just greyed out. On this pic it says creative sound PCI, does yours say anything here, or greyed out?

 

[pwlljakob]

It Says "No Audio Device" then the controls below are greyed out

Go to HPs website, type the model number in, download the XP sound driver. Thats all I can think of.

HP Does not have my audio driver listed... This is all i get;

There is no audio driver.

Go into your BIOS, make sure that onboard audio is enabled, and reboot.

 

[pwlljakob]

Everything in the BIOS Is just fine, any other suggestions?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

The last thing I can think of is to go into Device Manager and look to see if there are any "!" exclamation points showing a problem, or even if the onboard sound is shown at all.

If it does not appear, then it would seem to me that the onboard sound is kaput... meaning a busted mobo.
Do you have any separate audio cards you can try, to test for any sound output at all?

 

[johnb35]

Look in device manager under system devices. Do you have an entry labeled Microsoft UAA bus driver for HD audio? If not, this is why your sound will not install correctly. Do you have any entries in device manager with yellow question marks on it?

 

[pwlljakob]

This Is what i get when i go into device manager.
I am not seeing this "Microsoft UAA bus" driver.

 

[johnb35]

Looks like your driver is installed properly. Make sure audio output is set correctly. You do have the speakers plugged into the green jack on the back of the motherboard?

 

[pwlljakob]

it is all plugged in, but no sound.
This is what the sound controls look like in control pannel

Click on the audio tab and see if you can select realtek as your playback device. So there is no micorosft uaa bus driver for high defination audio listed under "system devices" in device manager?
