Sound Problem
I just formetted my computer. and then i realized i had no sound. so i went to my Control Panel and to my Sound and Audio Devices and it says unknown device? My WinXP cd is scratched so i think it cant install the driver from it, so i searched on the net for the driver. but when i try to install it
Intel(r) 82801AA AC'97 Audio Controller i always get this error. http://www.dodstudios.net/uploads/up...Errorhelp.jpeg I Really need help, as i have no sound except my internal beeping thing which is really annoying Last edited by Crono; 02-27-2003 at 01:27 AM. |

ok, Ive done that before, just go into the device manager and remove everything for the sound card, then reboot and put the hp cd in the drive when it ask for the drivers, seltct the lacation, browse, then go to the audeo drivers folder on the cd, click ok and it should load all the drivers it needs

What model of HP is this computer?
If it's an old model then it could be a compatibility issue. |

From the HP support site:
Obtaining the Windows Me to Windows XP HP Solution CD If you have an HP Pavilion PC that came with Windows Me pre-installed and you are upgrading your system using an off the shelf version of Windows XP, you can obtain the Windows Me to Windows XP HP Solution CD by ordering it directly from HP. The CD is available for $9.95 (US price - prices for other regions will vary). Click here to order this CD on line (US & Canada only), or to identify the phone number needed to order the CD for Worldwide regions (Europe, Middle East, Africa, Latin America, Asia Pacific). For European models phone numbers are also available on the Support Path Card that shipped in box with your PC. NOTE: If you are using the Windows Me to Windows XP HP Solution CD to assist in upgrading your system to Windows XP, please refer to the instructions that come with the Windows Me to Windows XP HP Solution CD when upgrading your system. The instructions contained in this document describe the upgrade process you would go through without using the CD. ---------------------------- HP does not offer a downloadable driver for the sound for XP. |
