SOLVED!! Re: Compaq Audio Driver (win xp) for c797 laptop
here is the solution for Sound problems on C797vu
my friend got Compaq c700 C797vu
as with all laptops no drivers for XP, i have been doing this driver making for certain laptops for my friends, so i knew this will now be easy as experience make a man perfect...
the chip used is
Conexant HD-Audio SmartAudio 221
download the sound drivers from here
*utils.hns.net.in/drivers/hp/772tu/ConexantHDAudio 221_XP.zip
or
*www.4shared.com/file/56393097/ac5d28f0/ConexantHDAudio_221_XP.html
or
*www.mediafire.com/?dg0cmmkm4y4
then extract the drivers
go to the extracted
edit the file WiSVHe5.inf in notepad
under section
[Conexant]
%HdAudioFunctionDriver.Hermosa5051.DeviceDesc% = HdAudModel,HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_5051&SUBSYS_103C30CD
%HdAudioFunctionDriver.Hermosa5051.DeviceDesc% = HdAudModel,HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_5051&SUBSYS_103C30D6
past this as the third line
%HdAudioFunctionDriver.Hermosa5051.DeviceDesc% = HdAudModel,HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_5051&SUBSYS_103C30D9
NOTE: there is no space in SUBSYS i dont know why the forum is giving space in this.. compare this with data already present in the 'WiSVHe5.inf' file under heading {Conextant]
No go to device manager right click on Audio device under unknown devices click properties>>drivers>>update drivers and browse to the extracted location of drivers and click ok..
in short update your audio drivers from this new location
VIOLA now your sound will work file...
