Question : Problem: Sound Device Missing

I upgraded this computer to Windows XP Pro and now my sound sevice is missing. When I did the msinfo check there was not device shown. I went to the web site to download the appropriate drivers and once they were installed I got the message that I need Microsoft's Universal Audio Architecture High Definition Audio Bus Driver. I went to the Microsoft web site but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Where can I get this driver?

Thanks!

Answer : Problem: Sound Device Missing

Do this in the order presented:

1. If you haven't already, nstall Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 on the system. That's available here:

http://update.microsoft.com

2. Install Microsoft's Universal Audio Architecture High Definition audio bus driver on the system before installing these drivers. That can be found here:

3. Install the Realtek High Definition Audio Drivers

You should be good to go after that.
