Sound Drivers not Working for Win XP???

maheshcrazy.it · 07-18-2009, 12:32 AM

Hello Everyone,

I am using HP Pavilion a6330in Desktop PC shipped with Windows Vista. Recenlty, I downgraded Vista to Wind XP Professional Ver 2002, SP-2.
Thereafter, My sound drivers are not working.
I have tried many sound/audio drivers from HP Site. They haven't work and then I read the article for problems about degradaton of Vista to XP, there they have given that sound drivers will won't work, If you degraded the OS.

So, pls suggest a solution or sound drivers (any third party s/w) for me.

Thank You.

This is your mobo info; http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...name=c00910113

So, you are looking for ALC888 drivers for an ECS 945GCT-HM motherboard (that's the Intel 945GC chipset).

First place I'd look is at Realtek and try the Windows 2000, Windows XP/2003(32/64 bits) Driver only (ZIP file) download.

edit: note that for plug and play to detect the sound chip you may need to FIRST install the MS UAA drivers; http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/g...s&lc=en&dlc=en
