Hi,

Install the Microsoft Windows XP SP2 Universal Audio Architecture update first and afterwards install the Realtek high definition audio driver. The drivers for  Windows XP are found on this HP web document.

Best regards,

will try what you said, yet just before i do...i noticed something else. when i go to control panel > sounds,speech, and audio > sounds and audio >hardware then right click on a driver, codec etc...it says the device is working properly...yet it also says location unknown.

yep it works, had a slight problem with the found new hardware constantly tring to make me find hardware while installing the realtek, and had to uninstal 2 drivers which came about because of the patch...later...ty
