Clean Vista install WITH NO ACTIVATION

[orev]

Do any of you know of a Realtek HD Audio driver that enables you to use Microphone Output on a DV6500T? I've been searching one for days...

You can't output to a microphone, that's an input device. Maybe if you describe what you're trying to do, someone can help.

What I'm trying to do is get my microphone to output my voice. (Through my speakers.) So that I can be able to broadcast both my music AND voice in Shoutcast Radio using record with "What You Hear".

EDIT: Heh I just noticed I'm in the wrong thread, should have posted in the "Installing Windows XP on the Intel based dvx500t Series" Thread.

i did a clean install of vista, its working now thanks, the activation was all machine, i thought I would have to convince a person lol. anyway, I still have that recovery partition. Can I make a recovery cd from it or is it useless now?

Hi, nothing to add here but thanks. I got a new machine yesterday and did the clean install and I can't believe how much better Vista works this way (my 2nd Vista laptop). I appreciate your work and contribution to the community.

Glad you got it working. You must make the recovery disc BEFORE you clean install, because the tools you need to do it are in the default install. If you haven't done that, it might be worth it to leave it there for now unless you really need the space.

If you did make the discs already, you can delete the partition then expand the C: partition to use that space as well, instead of making another drive letter which can be a pain to deal with sometimes. You can do all of that in Vista's partition manager.

thanks for the info, my windows wasn't booting so I had to format and install, I didn't make a recovery disc, but hp will send me a free replacement though (although I have to wait longer because I just found out that it is out of stock). As soon as I recieve the cd, I'll format the partition and extend my current one I guess

Does anyone know where the WAU file is located on a tx2000? I tried looking where the guide said but there's no sonysys folder. And once I set the folders to display hidden files, I lose the "windows" folder after C:

I did system restore twice already, it's really frustrating. Anyone know why?

Never mind! I got it working!

I went the long route and downloaded it manually from the site you listed. It took a long time but everything is running smoothly. Thanks Orev!

Your laptop is not a Sony, hence why you don't have the "sonysys" folder! That section talks about places you might have the folder. Unfortunately, HP doesn't provide it.

Please help a computer noob,

Could I ask what is the different between activate Windows Vista on-line and going through the procedures from Orev. I went through the guide with no success. Therefore, I just activated through on-line without any problem.

However, I have a problem with fingerprint driver installation when I install the driver from SWSETUP that I made a back-up. Is there something that I am missing?

Thank you in advance,
computer noob
