Additional Notes

Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) High Definition Audio class driver available for Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Window 2000

- Hard to find OS patch which (after installing) then allows you to install your usual soundcard drivers - useful after you have performed a clean installation and removed the OEM OS and the originally exsisting patch that came with your PC. Needed for IBM, HP, Asus, and more.

"This driver was a lifesaver. My customer had lost their original HP disks and Microsoft does not offer this driver in their downloads. After I sucessfully installed this driver and then HP sound driver, and it worked great, but on re-boot I got an error message and had to go into the registry to delete the file mentioned in the error. It works great with no errors."

  • In Windows 8, swipe up from the bottom, or right-click anywhere on the desktop and choose "All Apps" -> swipe or scroll right and choose "Control Panel" (under Windows System section) -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager

  • In Windows 7, click Start -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager

  • In Windows Vista, click Start -> Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> Device Manager

  • In Windows XP, click Start -> Control Panel -> Performance and Maintenance -> System -> Hardware tab -> Device Manager button

How to Install a driver from Device Manager

  1. Locate the device and model that is having the issue and double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

  2. Select the Driver tab.

  3. Click the Update Driver button and follow the instructions.

In most cases, you will need to reboot your computer in order for the driver update to take effect.

Tech Tip: Driver downloads and updates come in a variety of file formats with different file extensions. For example, you may have downloaded an EXE, INF, ZIP, or SYS file. Each file type has a slighty different installation procedure to follow.
