Sound issue and standby icon fade out after downgrading from vista to xp
i have downgraded my laptop(compaq presario v3000) from vista basic to windows xp(service pack 2).i downloaded drivers for windows xp from compaq\\\’s official site and when i tried to install the graphics driver and sound driver,it shows like media device not found.
Help me to solve this issue…
Hi Ravisankar,

LikeDislikeIf it is V3000 CTO model you can see two drivers for audio. Fund the links below.
1. Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) Bus Driver for High Definition Audio
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp32501-33000/sp32646.exe
2. Conexant High Definition Audio Driver (for AMD)
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp34001-34500/sp34386.exe
Still you are getting the same error, go for a forced driver installation.
Go to Device Manager,
Find “Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus”
Right Click and select “Update driver”
Select “no, not at this time” for connecting to Windows Update
Install from a list or specific location
Don’t search I will choose the driver to install
For the Hardware Type select ‘Show All Devices’
Remove the check from “Show Compatible Hardware” and click on “Have Disk”
Next…browse to C:\Swsetup\spXXXX (Select the exact folder of driver you used. Find file name from above link )
Choose the “inf” and Ignore XP when it complains.
