[TUTORIAL] How to install HD Audio driver after installation of slipstreamed XP SP3
Hi Everyone,
Most of My friends have complained me that They are facing HD Audio driver installation after installation of slipstreamed XP SP3. Microsoft had released Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) High Definition Audio class driver version 1.0a available for Windows XP (not for SP3) , Windows Server 2003, and Windows 2000. But it can't be installed on sliptreamed installed Windows XP SP3, becoz it doesn't support it and prompts "The Service Pack version is higher than update package"
I am going to share simple n strait way to install HD Audio driver after installation of slipstreamed XP SP3.
Requires:
1:- KB888111.exe (Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) High Definition Audio class driver) released by Microsoft
2:- HD Audio driver (Latest updated driver recommended)
How to:
1) Don't install KB888111.exe. Extract the KB888111.exe instead of installation using Extract (Windows Inbuilt command), WinRAR, WinZip, 7Zip or any Zip Archiver.
2) Run Device Manager n select Unknown PCI Device and right click to update drivers. Browse the location of Extracted files and locate the folder commonfiles and Update it.
3) After updating the driver for Unknown PCI Device, the HD Audio Device will be founded in device manager. Now you can install your HD Audio driver using Installer or by locating WDM HD Audio drivers manually.
Happy Windows Computing !
