Since you said that I must install this driver first I am stuck and have not been able to make progress. What should I do now?

Oops that was my mistake. The previous item was, apparently, geared to HP machines ONLY. Since you are NOT running HP's version of XP then HP files will, sometimes, not work on a "regular" version of XP:
Unfortunately Microsoft does NOT provide a public download for this driver. You can get it through Microsoft Update. So I dug around and got lucky.
Here's what I found. MS doesn't offer the file for download. BUT, it is included IN the archive for the Realtek HDAUDIO driver. here are Notes in the "Readme.pdf" file that say to:
**** BEGIN QUOTE ****
5. Pack with Microsoft High Definition Audio UAAV1.0a(5013)
**** END QUOTE ****
When you download the below listed file you will find this directory structure:
WDM_R186\MSHDQE\Win2K_XP\us\
In the above directory, inside of that archive, you'll find these three files:
kb88111w2ksp4.exe
kb88111xpsp1.exe
kb88111xpsp2.exe
Realtek's HDAUDIO file:
ftp://209.216.61.149/pc/audio/WDM_R186.zip
I'm sorry for the "jumping through hoops" to get you this small file. But it's not my fault, it's Microsoft's. Just extract the appropriate file, depending on your OS configuration and run the application. This will install the Microsoft UAA driver.
I did try to locate the afore mentioned files on other servers, but had no luck in that regard. Sorry about that.
Also, I must apologize for the tardiness of my response. My ISP is having DNS problems, and won't admit there is a problem, and I've had to adjust my system configuration to use other DNS servers.
HTH
