HP Mini 110 - No audio after replacing hard drive and installing XP

[donontheweb]

My wife's HP Mini 110 recently died and I had to replace the hard drive. I got everything up and running fine except for the audio. The driver on the HP site for the 110 will not install as it says that there is no device installed for that driver. In the Hardware list, there is a PCI Device with a question mark and I cannot get it to find a driver. Even after installing the chipset driver and flashing the bios there is not audio device working.

HP Tech support was ZERO help to me.

Can anyone out there help? I'd really appreciate it!

can you supply me the VEN&DEV numbers, these can be found under the tab called DETAILS, when you right click the device that has the yellow exclamation mark...

and if possible to the driver on the HP site...

then I can help you, hopefully...

Check this from the HP FTP site:

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp43501-44000/sp43746.html

Then if you agree it is the right driver, download this:

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp43501-44000/sp43746.exe

Save, then run it from your netbook downloads folder.

Good luck!

Should have said, remove the pci device from the hardware list, reboot to safe mode (F8 after POST), or interrupt boot up with a reset, then install the download in safe mode, and reboot again. hopefully the driver will find the audio device when XP loads.
