No Audio After Downgrading to XP

Feb 13, 2009 9:42AM PST

My system came preinstalled with Vista so I "uninstalled" (Actually I'm dual booting) it and I installed XP. Now, I guess everything is working find except one thing:

There is no audio.

When I try to play music it says something about no audio device. So I might need some drivers. Any other solutions?

Here are my specs:

HP dv6567cl
1.80 GHZ Intel Centrino Duo
8400m GS
2 GB RAM
160 GB HDD

Thats was a problem with the SATA Drive. This is for the sound drivers.

Which is why we ask HP for the install order.

"Harold: 3. UAA drivers to enable the audio hardware for Windows XP.
Note: It is strongly recomended to install ths driver before you install the audio driver. If you do not install this driver the audio will not work.
