Problem in sound

You can install xp on a vista laptop, you will need an xp install cd and you will need to backup your data (it will be erased in the downgrade process). As for the drivers, go to your laptops manufactures site. They will have a support section for your laptop model where you can see if there are drivers for xp. If you have the hardware that will support windows 7, I would go with that. Xp is slow and no longer supported by Microsoft as of April 2014, which poses a security risk. Windows 7 will be supported for a while and is faster and more stable than xp or vista.

beware ...I believe that with this solution internal mic will not work ...but ..is about all that is ..cause on the official site they do not provide an audio solution for xp....

There are 6 different model of C700.....you can tell which one you have by looking under your laptop...then go to this site and download the proper one for you:

You need to download the drivers from the Compaq/HP WEB support/download page. Make sure you select your model laptop and the XP Windows version of the drivers you require and install them. Use this link to download the drivers

This system was made to host Microsoft Windows Vista, HP does not distribute XP drivers.

If you need Vista drivers, then download from HP Here: Compaq Presario C700 Notebook PC series - Download drivers


If you need XP drivers, then read the websites below:

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.
