Audio drivers help

[Guest manta222]

Unfortunatly Vista was not up to scratch so I went back to XP I have

everything but my audio drivers. I have a HP pavillion Desktop and Hp have no

drivers for Win XP. I have tried a few methods given to me and the latest is

to install realtek hd audio driver but an error comes up saying bus driver

needs to be installed first.

The audio is on board but xp tells me there is no audio device.

Does anybody have any sugestions? If all else fails would it be better for

me to buy a audio card and install that or would i get the same error?

Thanks

If HP hasn't a driver for it, that is about it.

Try below for peace of mind, you never know!

Click Start>Right-click My Computer>Properties>Hardware>Device Manager.

 

Right-click on the (?) Sound there>Properties> see if it can find a suitable

Driver on the Net.

 

If not, go with your other idea; grab an AOpen, etc PCI Sound Card for about

$20

Thanks Mick,

I figured it might be the best way to go but its good to have someone

confirm my suspisions. I will keep an eye on the thread because it seems more

people are experiencing the same problem. There is no options to search for

drivers online. The only drivers in the sound section is legacy audio

drivers. If I try to update them it searches the pc or slected files but

finds nothing even though i have downloaded about 20 different audio drivers

to choose from. HP are not helpfull in the slightest.

I've always found Audio drivers a pain to find, when they are onboard. If it

was an XP reinstall it would be simple. They would be at HP, or you would

have a CD for the Motherboard Drivers.

Normally in Device manager, you can click a radio button to allow net search

this one time, instead of looking in the computer HD, or CD RoM
