    From my install guide for XP in my signature:

    Download the following drivers:

    Audio Driver: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-67816
    Modem Driver: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-61454
    Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) High Definition Audio: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-65456

    PROPER WAY TO INSTALL THE AUDIO & MODEM DRIVERS:
    1. Extract the Audio Driver file you downloaded.
    2. Extract the Modem Driver file you downloaded.
    3. Install the Universal Audio Architecture (UAA).
    4. Once finished, it will prompt you saying new hardware is found.
    5. Choose option "No, not this time".
    6. Choose "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)".
    7. Choose "Search for the best driver in these locations".
    8. Uncheck all but "Include this location in the search:".
    9. Browse for "c:\drivers\win\audio\smaxwdm\w2k_xp".
    10. After installation, it will prompt you for the modem driver.
    11. Repeat steps 3-6.
    12. Browse for "c:\drivers\hdamodem\win2kxp".
    13. Hit finish.
    14. Rock out to some kickass tunes. I recommend Tool, but choose your poison.

    I finally found the solution:

    1. Install KB888111 hotfix (Microsoft HDA bus driver)
    2. Open device manager
    3. Open system devices
    4. There is a "PCI device" marked with yellow (NOT "Unknown device"!)
    5. Left click on it and update driver automatically. Now your computer will identify a new audio and modem device
    6. Install them with the Lenovo driver, now you got audio.
    7. ???
    8. Profit.

    This worked on my ThinkPad R60. Rock on.
