Ryder, or anyone - please help! I am in the same position. Just got myself Compaq Presario v3252AU, and sheer happiness of 1 hour vanished when I realized that there was no drivers provided. I had done my homework and managed to get all the proper drivers needed. My only problem is the same - audio. I had installed that Microsoft UUA or something, but when I installed Conexant, I faced the same problem mentioned - cannot detect the media.

I tried to follow your instruction, happy to think that there is a solution at last, but I am stuck at No.2. Where do I find this 'conxetant high definition..' in my device manager?

I have only this -



Please help. I really do not want to be stuck with a bohsia laptop.

Thank you. Anyone, please. Just help.

Jon

I have that driver, and that is not the problem I am trying to solve. I am trying to get the Conexant to be installed in my laptop.

I am in the same boat. Thanks for helping. I clicked on the link, but it directed me to the mainboard. Is there something wrong with the link?

Thanks again.

Ryder and Mindkiller, thank you for your patience so far, and anyone else who is helping.

I have done as instructed, and it led me to this dead end. So, I thought I show you guys what I had seen.





And trying to force it to install again.. I am seeing this..




Can someone help? I pray for miracle.

Jon

Did that, and I am still with Code 10 - This device cannot start.

Hey guys, esp Ryder and Mindkiller - thanks for all the guides and patience with me so far. Well, the good news is - I am hearing audio on my computer now. But it is not an easy task.

Somehow, I believe eventually that my real problem was that I was running on WINXP SP1. So, I went out and bought a new copy of WIN XP SP2. Re-formatted my laptop one more time and did as instructed on page 1 , as guided by Shinjin. However, I did find some drivers of my own, as they were more appropriate for my Compaq Presario V3252AU.

Windows XP SP2 Setup & Installation Guide for V3119AU/V3009AU courtesy of shinjin (only for Windows XP SP2)

1. Install the OS.
2. Install the NVIDIA nForce Chipset Driver (I use sp33031.exe)
3. Install the NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 Graphics Driver (I use sp33549.exe)
4. Install the AMD Processor Update for Microsoft Windows XP to optimized the processor for the system (I use sp35445.exe)
5. Install Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) Bus Driver for High Definition Audio (I use sp32646.exe)
6. Install Conexant High Definition Audio (for AMD) (I use sp34386.exe)
7. Install Conexant HDAUDIO Soft Data Fax Modem with SmartCP Driver (I use 33839.exe)
8. Install Ricoh 5-in-1 Card Reader Host Controller and Driver (I use sp33020 - do not know if it works - have yet to try.)
9. Install Broadcom Wireless LAN Driver (I use sp34152.exe)
10. Install Software and Drivers for HP Integrated Module with Bluetooth Wireless (For V3119AU) ( I don't have this )
11. Install HP Wireless Assistant (sp34510.exe)
12. Install System Default Settings (Did not do this.)


Anyway, I can hear the audio now, but it just got me thinking that my old Compaq Presario V1200 sounds better. Hmmm...

Thanks all.
