    hey guys, i would greatly appreciate if anyone could help me up here..

    i just got a new presario f731au n installed it with a windows xp pro..

    i know tht f700 series would be best perform with vista but i really need to use xp pro instead.

    after windows intallation, a few drivers were not to be found.. after almost a whole day searching for suitable drivers for my notebook, 2 drivers remained unfound.. the AUDIO DEVICE ON HIGH DEFINATION AUDIO BUS and the MODEM DEVICE ON HDAU.

    + I'v tried searching from hp website but no driver for my model was available.
    + i'v contact d support cntre but they asked me to search d driver from the net..
    + i m not going to install vista as they do not support the softwares that im running..

    its been 3 days now without any sound coming out from my notebook speaker n i feel very lonely... :p help me please...

    I also have a presario f700. I have installed xp, and I have got all the drivers working except the nvidia ethernet.
    I have the hp download which has 14.10 version nvidia drivers. I have tried installing the network drivers, and I still get a '?' under the device manager labelled 'Other PCI bridge device'. Any ideas where to get a working driver?

    I have tried microsoft update to no avail.

    TIA

    Hi there,

    I got my 731au working well. First, the modem didnot work, but I tried some driver then work.
    Second, the audio no sound, then tried many drivers, and work, but one problem remain, the master volume on windows doesnot work. So must adjust the volume through the player ( mp3, wmp, etc ).

    The link to download modem driver is here : http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsuppor...=ob-44166-1&prodTypeId=0&prodSeriesId=1839143

    For the audio driver, link is here : http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsuppor...=ob-43414-1&prodTypeId=0&prodSeriesId=1839143

    is dedicated to North American Presario products, I will do my best to

    Thank you for your time and patience.

    no prob

    Before installing the Audio and modem drivers in your Notebook you have
    to
    install the microsoft update(UAA) driver from the below link:

    Please download Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) Bus
    Drivers
    from the following
    link:

    ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp32501-33000/sp32646.exe

    Please don't click the link directly. Please copy and paste it on the
    address bar of your browser and press enter.

    ok

    After installing Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) Bus
    Drivers
    restart the
    notebook and install Conexant High Definition Audio Driver:

    ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp34001-34500/sp34200.exe

    This will create a swsetup folder in C drive ("C:\swsetup\sp34200")

    Installing this driver may result in an error. But continue with the
    following steps to get the audio driver installed correctly.

    1. Click on Start and select Run. Now type devmgmt.msc and press enter.
    2. Right click on "Audio device on High Definition Audio Bus" and click

    Update driver.

    3. Select "Install from a list or specific location"
    4. Click Next. Then select "Don't search, I will choose the driver to
    install"

    5. Click Next and then select "Sound, video and game controller" from
    the
    list.
    6. Click Next and then click Have Disk.

    7. Click Browse C:\swsetup\sp34200 folder and select the .inf
    (wis30b2a)
    file and click open and Continue with the onscreen instructions.

    Modem driver:

    ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp33501-34000/sp33742.exe

    This will create a swsetup folder in C drive ("C:\swsetup\sp33742")

    Installing this driver may result in an error. But continue with the
    following steps to get the audio driver installed correctly.

    1. Click on Start and select Run. Now type devmgmt.msc and press enter.
    2. Right click on "Modem" and click Update driver.

    3. Select "Install from a list or specific location"
    4. Click Next. Then select "Don't search, I will choose the driver to
    install"

    5. Click Next and then select "Modem" from the list.
    6. Click Next and then click Have Disk.

    7. Click Browse C:\swsetup\sp33742 folder and select the .inf
    (wis30b2a)
    file and click open and Continue with the onscreen instructions.

    Please follow the above steps and install drivers.

    This should resolve the issue.

    Additionally, I will mail this chat to your e-mail
    [email protected].
