Now Install the driver you selected from the list above or your original vista drivers. (do not restart) If the installation successful with no error, try any audio file for confirmation. If it resulting in error, or no sound after successful installation proceed with next step.

10. After open the SP39671, there 3 folder and select the wdm folder. For other audio driver maybe you will have the similar folder or different, Important to remember we a re looking for files ended with INF extension. Here for SP39671, after open the folder slect WDM folder and Select WInXP folder




11. Then select the STHDA.INF (STHDA64.INF is for 64 bit) anyway press OK . Ignore if XP Complaint. then try to play some music (suggested simple mp3, no rmvb, flv or other player that require codec).

INF file may have different name if you are using different driver version

In case the audio driver you have and i gave earlier didn,t work leave your comments and i will assist you for further instructions.


HDMI and NO SOUND AFTER RESTART

Some model will have issue with HDMI. To know either you have this issue or not, Simply after driver installation above a "new hardware found" windows appear. Download this driver first:
SP39545.exe

Now install this this driver first (do not close a new hardware found windows), after finish install, get back to the "a new hardware found windows" follow the audio installation we did earlier until we get the inf file.

In case the Audio Disappear After restart follow the Guide here:
