    Hi All, I'm having problems with my audio drivers and I hope someone here can help me out. Although there have been countless posts made regarding Vista downgrades to XP, I'm yet to find one for Presario A906TU model. I have tried a lot of suggestions from a lot of sources and right now I'm down with 1 last problem. I installed UAA and Conexant hd audio driver from V6000T XP drivers. I got the speakers working but when I plug my headphone, the speaker is still going and I'm getting a weaker volume from my headset. My mic is also not working. Help please!!!! Thanks

    you have to press F10 upon bootup to enter BIOS and disable the SATA support > Save and Exit Bios

    I have search high and low for the XP drivers as well. I only managed to obtain the relevant chipset driver. But i still could not get hold of the drivers for [1. Atheros WLAN card & 2. Soundcard]. I found 2 websites that shows some promise of downloading the drivers but i could not register successfully after repeated attempts. The websites are http://www.charydent.com/ar5007.html & http://www.ookz.com.pl/ar5007eg/. It's such a drain on the brain when we spend some much time loking up and down the internet for these stupid drivers. :mad: Can you show me the link to the Atheros WLAN card? Thanks a million!!!!! :)
