Audio driver for compaq presario c700 PC Note book

I am using above mentioned model the problem i am facing is in audio... it show there is not driver installed, though i have the driver cd with me it is not supporting for win.xp.pro. where can i get the drivers for the same.

  1. I have successfully installed all the XP drivers on the Compaq Presario c700 and successfully removed the bloated pig P.O.S. known as Vista.a

    You must download the following from Compaq's site:

    Driver numbers:

    sp34510 - Wireless assistant
    sp33411 - Nvidia Chipset
    sp33258 - Quick launch
    sp35444 - Touchpad
    sp36684 - Wireless LAN
    sp35682 - Win Audio Bus + updates
    sp33549 - Nvidia Video (Go 6150)
    sp35270 - Conexant HD Audio
    sp34427 - Conexant Modem

    These are found all over the HP/Compaq web sites. You'll need to search for the number "sp35410", etc. Some of these are available under the driver pages for the F557US. You'll need to look under both the XP AND Vista sections!!!!

    Now, the tricky part!! Listen CAREFULLY!!!! You must:

    1. Install all of these drivers one by one, making sure NOT to run the sp33549 (Nvidia VIDEO), sp35270 - Conexant HD Audio, and sp34427 - Conexant Modem drivers!!!! Important! Then, reboot.

    2. Run the sp33549 Nvidia Video driver file. It will FAIL! Once it has run, it will create a folder with this path: C:/swsetup/sp33549. Open the control panel, then system, then hardware, then open the device manager. Find the video controller with the yellow exclamation point. Right click, and select properties. Click the 'driver' tab at the top, and then select "update driver". Select 'not this time', then 'Install from a specific location', then select 'don't search', and then finally, select 'have disk'. Select the folder above, and that will manually install the video driver.

    3. Do the exact same procedure for the sp35270 Conexant audio card, which will be in the device manager under 'PCI device'. Of course, make sure to use the C:/swsetup/35270 folder this time.

    4. You can just double click the modem driver sp34427 to install it, but this must be done AFTER you manually install the Conexant audio!!!!

    5. Since it took me three hours to figure all this ouat, you then send me an e-mail to thank me!

    Vista sucks. Be happy you now have XP on this new laptop!!!!!!!
