HP ADI HD Audio Driver 5.10.1.5880 Rev.B for 2K/XP

This package contains the driver for the ADI High-Definition (HD) Audio CODEC in the supported desktop models and operating systems.

NOTE

: For important information regarding the installation of this driver, see the Prerequisites section. Users creating their own disk images must first install the Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) driver before installing the ADI driver. The Microsoft UAA driver provides the necessary support for the HD audio bus used by the ADI HD audio CODEC. Users who are upgrading to this newer driver on an existing system, should ensure that the UAA driver is already installed on your system. The UAA driver may be listed on your system as the "High Definition Audio Driver Package."

FIXES

:
- Provides the same driver that was included in the superseded SoftPaq (SP43484), however, this new package also adds support for models of HP Compaq dc5800 and HP Compaq dc5850 Desktop PCs that were built with the ADI 1884A CODEC.

PREREQUISITES:

- The Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) driver must be installed before installing the driver in this SoftPaq.

NOTE

: There are separate UAA drivers for different versions of the operating system. For example, the Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 1, and Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2 Operating Systems each have a different UAA driver. The UAA drivers are available from Microsoft, or are also available from HP as SoftPaqs:
- SoftPaq Number SP30628 (or later) contains the UAA driver for Microsoft Windows 2000.
- SoftPaq Number SP30739 (or later) contains the UAA driver for Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 1 (SP1).
