Problem installing Sound Drivers after Reinstall

I recently aquired a nc6400 through my work and I installed a OEM Version of Windows XP PRO. It took a while but I downloaded all the updated drivers and slipstreamed the controller drivers onto my Windows XP cd.

I have found all the drivers (even got the Bluetooth to work) but I can't get the sound to work.

I know for this model you need to install the Microsoft UAA HD driver. I tried the version listed for my laptop and a few other versions and I have not gotten anywhere.

When the setup runs a screen with the following message shows up.

"Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for HD Audio Setup is preparingthe installshield , which will guide you through the rest of the setup process."

After it dissapears I get nothing. If I try and install the actual sound driver I get the following error message.

"The HDA Audio bus driver is required and not found"

Any ideas? HP is clueless and wants me to reinstall my OS.

 

i think you should reinstall you OS as well.

but before you do, is the UAA listen in your system device manager and/or add-remove programs in control panel? try uninstalling it first and reinstall it.

 

try getting the latest version of the UAA Bus driver

 

I always believe that a reinstall should only be done as a last result.

Any idea what version/where I can get it from?

 

After finding the original UAA driver from Microsoft and a little "re working" in device manager my sound is now working fine.

Thanks to anyone who tried to help.

 

cool!!!!!!!!!!!
