Recently I had to reload the XP sound drivers on a 733TU laptop. I have tackled this a couple of years back but had forgotten the problematic task. Many drivers appear to work but with microphone issues. There is a Lenovo Conexant smart audio 221 driver that does do the job correctly after modifying the .inf file contained within the driver. The driver is labelled 6ea114ww.exe from here http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/6ea114ww.exe Using an extraction tool like winrar the 6ea114ww.exe file can be unpacked and the file TPUNHER5.inf can be updated using notepad to include your device id string from device manager.

I have notebook Compaq 6715b with Windows XP (no SP2). Sound doesnt work. drivers from HP official site not working

Hello,

trust me, the fault is from the win xp SP2. I am saying this with confidence and out of experience. Except if the audio drivers you downloaded is for win vista.

While running the Win xp, some files make have skipped/not installed which is making the sound not to work. Or maybe you have initially installed a wrong audio driver.

To solve this problem. you have to re-run the win xp, if possible, use another xp Cd, maybe not Sp2.

After installation, let the audio driver be the fist thing you install.

Take care.

Sound Driver of a Compaq Presario C700 Notebook PC

Reinstallations of XP sometimes do not install all of the sound files needed. Do a google search for UAA, it is Microsoft's audio file. Download it, install it and then run Windows update. The drivers for your machine should be under the Hardware section of the updates.

Compaq Presario 700 PC not get sound on xp

Test if you can hear sound when you plug in your headphones.
If none, check your device manager if your audio controller is present. If none, re install the driver.
If you can hear sound while the headphones is in, your laptop speaker is damaged.
Hope this helps.
