http://www.mediafire.com/?dg0cmmkm4y4
Unzip to a folder.Run installer.If it errors use device Manager.
From Device Manager,right click "Audio Device on HD",choose Update driver,
No to connect,
Install from a list or specific location,
Don't search I will choose the driver to install,
In the list of common hardware types, scroll down and select Sound, Video, and Game controllers.
Remove the check from "Show Compatible Hardware" and click on "Have Disk".
Next...browse to the unzipped folder and choose the "WiSVHe5.inf".Ignore XP when it complains.
Reboot.
also have the smartAuto chip 221. I have tried to follow the instructions in the previous post.The wizard will not allow me to "open/install" the WiSVHe5.inf file in the final step saying it is not for "this" hardware (or words to that effect)".
In other words it does NOT allow me to install "anyway".
Any suggestions?
and thanks for your help.
Ps: I am dual booting Vista and xp on an HP 6772. The audio in Vista is working fine. It is the xp version I am having the problem with (sec).
