Ther are 32 bit drivers and 64 bit audio drivers.

If your computer came with a motherboard disc the sound drivers could be on it

Click start control panel administrative tools computer management device manager scroll to sound video and game controllers you might see a yellow question exclamation mark? ! or a red X Right click to reinstall drivers.

Hi, welcome to FixYa.

The Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) High Definition Audio driver for Windows may be corrupted or causing problems with the audio driver installation.
To resolve this, try the following:
1. Click Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.
2. Look for the following two items: Realtek High Definition Audio Driver and High Definition Audio driver Package - KB888111.
3. If these items are listed in Add/Remove programs, remove them.
4. Restart Windows.
5. Download the latest audio driver for your PC.
6. Double-click the filename to extract the files.
7. Go to the folder where the files have been extracted and browse to the \HDAQFE\xpsp2\us\ folder or the \MSHDQFE\Win2K_XP\us\ folder. (The name of this folder depends on your PC model.)
8. Double-click the file kb888111xpsp2.exe to install the High Definition Audio Driver Package.
9. Restart Windows.
10. Install the audio driver.

Compaq Presario C716TU, OS -> XP
Audio: Conexant High-Definition Audio or **HD-Audio SmartAudio 221 Chip

You can try these drivers for XP @ http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/searchResults?tmp_product=Compaq+Presario+C716TU+Notebook+PC&product=3593072&tmp_qt=HD-Audio+SmartAudio+221+Chip+XP&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=in

Hope it helps.

Try reinstalling your audio drivers, or use system restore to undo the update if yo are sure of that.
Reinstalling the proper drivers should generally fix it though.
In case you don't have them anymore, try the manufacturer's website or a driver finder program.

Oh! Sorry.
Try to search for the XP Drivers for your Laptop or Return the OS to Windows Vista, some Toshiba Laptops does not have XP Drivers if downgraded from Vista to XP.

Thanks

These are the same thing , they will both disappear when you install the audio driver

Hello chandra,

This model of Presario has an audio controller that supports the high definition audio. You need to have Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) Bus Driver for High Definition Audio installed on the computer before installing the audio driver.

Here is the link for the Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture driver that need to be installed before installing the audio driver:

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp33501-34000/sp33867.exe


After installing the UAA driver reboot the notebook and install the audio driver from the following link:

Conexant CX20549-12 High Definition Audio driver:

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp35501-36000/sp35940.exe

Installing this driver may result in an error. But continue with the following steps to get the audio driver installed correctly.

1. Click on Start and select Run. Now type devmgmt.msc and press enter.

Restart the Notebook after the UAA Drivers are installed.
