Problems with laptop audio

philjayj · 26 Feb 2007 at 23:12

I have just bought a new HP NX6310. I completed a clean reinstall of Win XPP and as a result, had to download all the drivers from the HP website, as no CD was provided with the laptop.

To get the audio going, I believe I had to install Realtek's HD Audio driver and then the audio driver from HP's website.

I have done all of the above and still get an error message saying i need to install a HDA Audio bus driver.

I have no idea what to do and I'm pulling my hair out.

Does anyone know what I have to do to get this sorted?

Thanks

Phil

Looks like you've shot yourself in the foot mate, just request an OEM disk from HP and reinstall.

And then use something like PC de-crapifier to get rid of the junk.

Have you allowed device manager to search windows update for the driver? Do this, or alternatively keep doing windows updates & rebooting until there are none outstanding - I'm sure there was an update for HD Audio Bus drivers.

EDIT: yes, at least one: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888111

I did backup the drivers folder before i reinstalled windows.

The device manager shows two unknown devices, one is a HP Integrated Module and the other is an unknown device.

L33, thanks for the link, but that site doesnt allow me to download the driver.
