    Hi - I'm trying to go from Vista to Xp on this machine and everything is fine except there is no way to get the sound to work - keep getting 'media' error - does anyone know a way around this?

    I tried Windows update , HP update , new Conexant drivers and nothing would fix it - I HAVE to get this to work - even called HP tech support & they had no clue and finally told me they dont support XP on this machine but I don't see why it won't work condsidering it's been done before on the DV 6000 series.

    If not why would HP or MS screw this up? :confused: :confused:

    From what I found on the internet, the DV6300 series has a nVidia MCP51 HD sound card, check your device manager to verify. If so, this forum thread might help.

    Hey - thanks for the link - but I didnt see any driver for the nVidia MCP51 andwhere - unless maybe someone knows where?

    Also the link from that page took me to some advice aboput downloading the W2K drivers for it - installing them - and the doing Windows update but I couldnt find any 2K drivers either - any other ideas? This is looking pathetic..

    According to post #8, that guy has installed Win2k driver of dv9000 (you can find it here). Also check the post #11 that guy is referring to the same driver [ Link is given in the same post].
