I can not install audio driver

XP sure.
we are not HP (compaq ) why not ask at HP forum real for 1000x better and faster answers, yah?

the correct drivers were at HP support page, after 10 years,
they drop support. XP is dead so Microsoft Plug in play is now dead.
as is VISTA this year.
if at wits end, I do this. (ask) how.
what I do is use PCI scanner to learn what chips is there SOUND.
then go to the makers site and get it from them, on legacy machines
that is all you can do.

You didnt buy the HP media kit so only this is found.

ok you luck out today, its 2008 machine 1 more year and its gone
here is the VISTA sound/audio driver.

hi! here's a tip, try to uninstall and re install your audio driver. you can download the driver at consumersupport.lenovo.com
hope this helps! goodluck!

if you cannot install the sound driver, then the next best solution is
Buy
"USB Sound Card"
from Ebay for 1$
connect it to the USB port and connect the sound cables to the audio port in that....
it will get back ur sound...

Go into Bios enable audio so you can have sound

install your original sound driver. remove conflict drivers.

audio drivers are not installed on your system. drivers can be installed from media that came with your system or you can download from acer website.
