Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) High Definition Audio class driver

... looks like you need this installed first:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888111

from same site:
Hotfix Download Available you need SP2 installed

http://www.intel.com/support/chipse...

*********************************************************
.... OR this:
DOWNLOAD click one of the blue "exe" files

... keep trying!.. I know I am (very) trying... sometimes

....@Response Number 12.."..looks like you need this installed first..."

... you might have to uninstall the audio driver from control panel "add remove programs" ....reboot.. then install the other stuff "FIRST" ...then reinstall the driver you'll have to experiment as to which one... spoon feeding stops here!

thanx for you great help.sorry but it didn't work.then i ordered my motherboard cd from another city, formatted my computer and installed the driver and and it worked.i think the driver you have told would have worked if i had formatted my pc once again before installing because without formatting my computer when i tried to install driver from that cd, it also showed the same error as before driver have shown.then i contacted that computer expert through whom i had bought the cd, he suggested me formatting my computer once again and installing the driver once again which i did,then the driver worked in my computer.
so once again thanx for your great help.
