    I have been able to get the sound working on my HDX 9200, but the IR Remote and TV tuner are being stuborn. I wondering if anyone has been able to get either to work or lead me in some direction.

    No kidding? Who would have guessed a vista driver would work in XP. Cool.

    Be sure to post that in any threads you come across about getting sound in XP on the HDX.

    Thanks for sharing. Welcome to the forum.

    Hi all

    This cant be true... We have tried to install the Vista drivers and it doesnt work on the HDX1930eg i have.
    So can you please upload the driver you used to rapidshare or give us the link to it.
    Does it really work 100% ??? Or does it only show in the Hardware manager that the driver is installed but only Headphones work?
    Hopefully you're right, so please post a reply

    I was surprised too when it worked. The sound is coming out of the speakers. I have not checked if there is sound out of the sound jacks. It gives ability to adjust all 7.1 channels, but the left/right channels are the only ones that seem to do much (do work OK). And this is on xp sp2. I just followed what other people did on the threads. I'm still trying to get the remote and TV tuner to work, so that I can have a complete xp driver cd.

    Was there a sequence that you installed drivers?

    Say, sound vista driver, reboot, then install video driver, reboot...

    Or reboot after each driver install.

    Or install all drivers then reboot when done.

    That sort of thing.

    Did you download the drivers from the Homepage or did you use the ones from your Harddrive?
    Maybe you have some drivers that are newer then the ones on the HP homepage and thats the reason why it is working?

    just checked, the drivers for vista for both 9200 and 9095 are the same.

    so the driver on my ftp is the one polishz3 claims to have got working for XP


    www.hpdrivers.mercs.us for the audio driver

    Hello, guys!
    We are following this debate with interest. We have several with a silent HDX with XP and like you we expect this solution!
    Do you think this is true, or it may be a hoax?

    well as i have already stated , that the drivers for polishz3's laptop and mine are the same, so its down to him to point us all in the right direction.... and for so much interest in this thread, you'd think he would be only too eager in helping us all out :)

    I don't have the HDX yet. The idea of XP on it interests me though. I only have one app that won't work in Vista so I might virtualize a "tiny" XP with VMware.

    I spent about an hour looking for the website forum that was in Spanish of someone who used Dell drivers to get sound through the speakers to work in XP. That's where I got the original link from.

    One thing I did note was that the person listed the order in which they installed the drivers after a fresh install of XP. I know for other computers that sometimes matters. Some Sager's for one.
