This Guide will show you how to manually install Audio Driver in CQ35 in Windows XP.
Contents:
================
I. Notes
II. File and Driver.
III. Extracting Files
IV. Installations
a) Direct Install
b) Manual Install
=================
I : NOTES
1. I strongly recommend using windows XP Service pack 2 (SP2). However for SP3 there are patch for you guys so you do not have to revert back to SP2.
2. Make sure you already install the chipset Driver. If not get it here:
II. FILE AND DRIVER
1. MS-UAA(filename: KB888111xpsp2_en):
Windows XP SP2: Download (KB888111)
Windows XP SP3: Download (KB835221)
for xp sp3 recomend to install this MS-UAA: Download
2. IDT High definition Audio: IDT 92HD75B1/92HD75B2 @ Intel 82801IB ICH9 : Download
3. Patch (For win XP SP3) : Download
4. WinRar : to extract the driver files : Download - and install (chose the free version)
(if you already have it then no need for second time install)
Download all the file and put them together in folder. I suggest make a folder on your desktop and name it as CQ35 AUDIO.
III: Extracting Files
1. Now after you put all the files in a folder. Extract all the files. You need Winrar software to do that. look at the picture below.
So you will get 3. folders.
OK, not all 3 folder we will use, we will use only the IDT audio folder later on in case direct install failed, and the AUDIODRV folder for win XP SP3. why I'm asking to extract all three? to make sure all driver package you downloaded are working, if you can't extract mean the file is corrupt (or due to unfinished download) so you need to re-download the files.
IV. INSTALLING THE DRIVERS
a) Direct install (if failed proceed to B)
1. Install MS-UAA (KB888111XPSP2-EN)by double click on it and restart.
2. Install Audio Drivers (double click on CQ35_IDTAudio_sp42717) and continue with on screen instruction.
3. restart and you sound should work. For XP sp3 apply patch and restart.
b) Manual Install
1. Make sure you already install MS-UAA and restart.
2. Open device manager by click start select run and type DEVMGMT.MSC and press OK
3. A device manager will appear, look at the Audio With yellow.
4. Right click on the audio with yellow mark and select update Driver.
5. Select no at the welcome to the hardware update wizard.
6. Select Advance
7. Select the last option ' don't search i will choose the driver to install.
8 . Select next and select have disk then select browse.
9. Now look at the driver folder and open the CQ35_IDT - WDM - WinXP and select theSTHDA,INF file. (note: STHDA64 is for 64bit operating system)
10. Select open and ok, select next and ignore if it complaints.
11. Restart after finish.

Intel 82852/82855 Graphic Driver for Vista
Officially there are no drivers for intel 82852/82855 released for windows vista and windows 7. They are only available in windows XP. The trick that i always do with upgrading old models is install the XP driver in wndows vista using compatibility mode. Not only driver but this trick also work with windows 7.
1. Download the XP Driver form the manufacture (There are lower chance for the drievr to work if you download it from Intel).
example : Compaq V2000 Driver
(for compressed files, extract it first)
2. Right click on the driver select properties.
3. Select COMPATIBILITY.
4. Select run this program...'Windows XP'.
5. Right click again and select run as admin.

Conextant Audio Driver For Windows 7 64-bit
This guide made generally for all model, but the drivers made mostly for HP/compaq model. So if you ask me will this work for other model, the answer is YES but you need to get permission from HP so that your action is LEGAL. I do not hold any responsibility if you do it illegally, this post intend to help people who upgrading to Windows 7 64 bit and for tutorial purpose.
INTRODUCTION. (IMPORTANT TO READ)
Normally, in my post i just give a driver, or a simple tutorial to solve the problems. But there are lots of email i received asking how did i understand and know the solution. So i think it is important to describe the way to understand how to solve this problem. I normally didn't want to write a post in details because i know my English not really good so i always keep it short to avoid grammatical error. But i don't want to disappoint those who asked me. So I apologize in advance for my poor English.
There are many type of conextant audio. The way to distingush between them is by the HARDWARE ID(if you dont know what the hardware ID is, don't worry you'll get to it later). By names there are many of it;
-conextant smart audio 221
-Conextant Ac-link Audio
-Conextant High definition Audio
-Conextant AC97 Audio
-Conextant venice Audio
-conexant cx20671 Audio
-conexant cx20561Audio
and there is lot more, i just make the list of the popular names around the net. (i think there are no need for you to know all the list unless you are in this field, just pm me).
So the conclusion is there are many names, but the one differentiate between them is the hardware ID. So lets continue with the Installation for your driver.
1. IDENTIFY YOUR HARDWARE ID.
1. First, to get the right drivers, you need the hardware ID. to get the hardware id you can refer to my tutorial here:
http://computerdriverdownloads.blogspot.com/2009/12/how-to-check-hardware-id.html
2. After you get the hardware ID you will get the result like this(the numbers different base on your device):
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_3091103C&REV_02
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&CC_0401
3. Ok, from that list, pay attention to the line that i highlight, that is the important line to determine the hardware ID. Note first line just added the &REV_02 , this addition &REV_02 added because you are using windows 7. So this is the reason why if you install using the windows XP or windows Vista driver directly it will failed, if you install manually from device manager some may success some may not because both xp and vista file doesn't contain &REV_02.
variation may exist such as &REV_03 etc.The last line 3 and 4, the important line here to note is the number 1002 and 4370, this number show that this is audio type and it is conextant.
How to know the number in hardware ID represent what?
well just google it, many website contain information and database for this driver. That is why sometime realtek AC97 driver can be use to install driver for conextant ac link97 because both share the same ID. Some driver may have one or two ID, but some drivers may contain 100's compatible ID.
II . GETTING THE RIGHT AUDIO DRIVER FOR 64 BIT.
Ok, after you get the hardware ID, compare with the ID i gave below. Download and install the driver. Note that to install it you need to extract the driver (make sure winrar installed).
After that open the extracted folder. Right click at the setup file (exe: UIU.exe etc; name varies) and select run as admin and restart after installation finish.
1. Conextant 64 bit driver 1

There are a lot of ID to cover but i list the most popular driver.
So if you didn't find your driver here just get the hardware ID for your audio and post in the comment section below. Ill help to find the appropriate driver.
_________________________________________
HARDWARE ID MATCH BUT INSTALL FAILED!
1. Ok if you try the driver above and failed do this:
-Open device manager (click start and type DEVMGMGT.MSC to open device manager).
-Right click on the audio with yellow and select update driver.
- Select browse my computer for drivers
- Select let me pick from a list of device drivers from my computer
-Select HAVE DISK and BROWSE
-Point to the extracted driver folder
-and select the INF file
-reboot
For those who have try many step in many website may read that SP38885 reported worked. but many not know that there are 2 version of SP38885, and the driver for the old one very hard to found.
Once again if you didn't find your driver here just get the hardware ID for your audio and post in the comment section below. Ill help to find the appropriate driver. To get the hardware ID refer nmy tutorial here:
http://computerdriverdownloads.blogspot.com/2009/12/how-to-check-hardware-id.html
For a those who new to the driver stuff, it maybe hard for you to undrstand, but if you need my assistant to get the right drivers (because you don't understand well the method i post) i willing to do so. Just leave your comments.

This method apply for most compaq model that didn't support Windows XP.
To install windows XP in unsupported model (HP and Compaq Mostly, you need to intergrate sata driver with windows XP installation disk means you will create a new XP CD.
I suggest you read the entire post and repeat the reading during installation so you can get the picture of the whole installation process.
Material needed:
1.Nlite Software: Download Here
2. Windows XP CD

1. create a new folder and name it as "WINXP" or any name you like, copy all the content in your xp installation disk (explore cd and press ctrl+A) and paste it in the new folder you just created.
2.Etraxt the sata driver you downloaded.
===============================================
For Intel follow this guide to extract it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
for amd extarct sp40046 to a folder and use files in RAID7xx folder

For amd select multiple driver

8. For intel Browse to the SATA driver folder which you extracted earlier(I named it "Floppy32Bit") and select either one of the .INF file, i suggest "iaahci.inf".
-for amd browse to raid 7xx, slect x86 and select the inf files.
SELECT ONLY x86.

9) A screen like below will pop-up, make sure it's "Textmode driver" and select all of them by holding CTRL+A key and choose "OK", the pictures below for intel installation.
