hi guys!
the solution for conexant high definition audio driver under XP is a little complicated:
you need to download from
HP s website 2 different drivers:
SP36090 the latest conexant for XP, and
SP36214 the latest conexant for Vista
execute both files! It will unpack these files and try to install the drivers, but probably without success!
You`ll have both of the drivers unpacked:
one: c:\sp36090
the other one c:\swsetup\SP36214 if you don`t change the path before unpacking
Now: go to sp36090 directory choose xp32 if you have XP 32 bit version and there
rename the files CHDAud.sys -to-> CHDART.sys
and UCI32105.dll -to-> UCI32A19.dll
after this copy the renamed files into SP36214\v32 by overwriting the originals
that`s it! you have the drivers for Conexant High Definition Audio for XP 32 bit version.
do not execute because it will not be able to install the soundcard!
First of all you have to install the high definition audio bus for high definition audio by downloading and installing kb888111xpsp2.exe from microsoft.
Execute the file! this will install the HDA bus. If there s a problem you`ll see the exclamation sign in System devices (PCI device) you`ll update the driver for that. It Should automatically install the high definition audio bus for you.
After the high definition audio bus is installed properly(reboot). Your system should find the high definition audio soundcard. Now you update it`s driver. by giving it the right path for the audio driver(don`t let it connect to the internet, you have to specify that you want to install the soundcard, "have a disk and there you specify the location of the .inf file from directory sp36214\v32"). Let it install the driver even though xp will not like it. Reboot. Your Mic should work better!
I hope I could help!
