Can anyone help me with drivers for my audio?

After a clean XP install I downloaded sp26792 “Original Realtek HD audio drivers” with instructions, but it won’t install. It says I need “Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) HD Audio bus driver installed. I went to the Microsoft downloads but no such drive exits. Thus I am at an impasse.. with no sound! Please help! :cry:

Ascertain the make and model of your motherboard (I am assuming the audio is on-board) and download the drivers from the manufacturers website.
 
That UUA driver is for the graphics card. I had the same issue with that driver when I installed my MSI GTX460 Cyclone 1GB in my friend's PC who had Windows XP.

What is your PC's specs?
 
You have an HP right? With their drivers for some unknown reason to get the Realtek HD Audio Driver to install you need a file from the Modem Driver package first.

Dunno why but you do. Learnt this from all the HPs I've had to reinstall.

There you have it. Either get it from COMPUTEK's post above, or do as above.

It helps in most cases for the modem to be installed, which is why Windows Update usually bugs a user to install the modem software on XP and Windows 7.
 
so far as I can remember from my too HP laptops that had the same problem, I had to install XP SP3 which contains the HD Audio bus thing, then run the Connexion (or summin like that) modem driver before the audio driver would work - weird, but true
