Compaq Presario C754CA Audio & Graphic Drivers?

Compaq Presario C754CA
Specifications: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01297770&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=3650105&os=228&lang=en
Date Bought: 1-2 Years Ago
Original Operating System: Vista
Current Operating System: Windows XP Professional SP 3 [Version 2002]
Well, I noticed that HP and Compaq do not supply Windows XP Drivers. I have managed to install the following things:
Intel Pro [for WiFi]
Broadcom
Intel Chipset
Intel Graphics
Synaptics Touch Pad
Microsoft UUA Audio Driver Bus
Now, I'll just tell you now: I do not know which of the following is my Audio but I have tried both and both have failed.
Realtech HD Audio
Conexant Audio Driver
I install them and I get to the end, and I receive an error about "MEDIA" not being found, thus it stops. I then proceed to the next step: force updating through the Device Manager - Only the Audio doesn't show up on my Device Manager! Originally it did, but now it has refused to appear, thus stumping me further. I will say that even when it was there, though, it refused to update, and claims that "This device has failed to start". 
I have tried IDENTIFYING my Audio Driver for better results through Aida32, Driver Detective, and Driver Scanner. Not only was Driver Detective useless, but the other two either couldn't download / install the proper driver, or didn't even display that there was an Audio device on my PC at all!
As for the Graphic Driver, I do have it installed, but it won't launch games for me, such as Ragnarok Online, Lineage II, etc. These games are properly done in Set-Up to launch with Direct 3D HAL; the Mobile Chipset is apparently bullcrikes and I've always used Direct 3D HAL / HAL x2 or whatever it was. 
- Questions!
1) Where can I find the name of the Audio Device on my Presario C754CA laptop?
2) Where can I find the driver of the Audio Device on my Presario C754CA laptop?
3) Why does my laptop refuse to launch games I could previously launch on Vista?

I would appreciate either a more in-depth guide than written above or a brand new solution... and links to drivers I need. 
[Edit]
I'm pretty sure my Audio Device is actually:
Conexant  High Definition Audio-Venice 5045
What do I do to install this properly? 
[Edit2]
Here's an image of what my Device Manager looks like:
http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu233/Yusshin/Audio.png
The "Conexant High Definition Audio-Venice 5045" that you see was installed on an Unknown Device that I don't know what the heck was honestly :\ And there are still 2 unknown devices there; I have nothing connected other than a USB Wi-Fi thing for my mouse and my keyboard. In total, there were 3 Unknown Devices; I just randomly selected one to find the ID of my Audio Device.
Please help me; I'm a Gamer and I hate Vista. I don't want to go back to it.
[P.S.] You may notice that I have a Vista skin; I am running XP so do NOT get confused ^^

  • Bought Compaq Presario CQ20-205TU No Drivers? XP not supported?

    Hello everybody,
    I just bought used HP Compaq Presario CQ20-205TU, and I wish to re-install it with my XP Professional
    So I Download some drivers and softwares (from HP)...., to my "stupidity" I forgot to double check the drivers. I thought everything is complete. 
    So I load my cd, delete the old partition.... created a brand new.... there you go a fresh new Xp professional (luckily it has SATA driver included).
    But I have a "mute" OS, and "poor" display (I just found out that sound driver, and graphic adapter driver are not included) 
    The wireless won't work, nor the blue tooth, and modem (basically everything that is integrated)
    So where could I find these drivers? 
    Thanks for viewing, and bigger thanks for answering..... God bless you

    yeah, i was able to install everything and all works fine.
    speakers are good, webcam is great (nice resolution), bluetooth also works fine and wireless LAN.
    the wireless LAN connection disconnects every once in a while for unknown reason, although i've installed every possible updated drivers...
    the screen is ok... the keyboard layout is not good. i have a hard time with the right shift because i keep on hitting the ?/ instead of shift.
    the touch control are sensitive. i accidentally touch the wifi icon and my wifi connection got disconnected.
    there is one touchscreen key i can't find out how to work. it's like a circle.
    everything else is fine. you just have to be very patient in finding the xp drivers because they're not easy to find. i've spend 2 days updating the drivers, updating the xp os up to service pack 3 etc etc.

    Hi:
    Those ID's confirm that your notebook has the Conexant AC-Link audio chip.
    OK...here is what I did. A little detective work...
    I like to use the free 7-zip file utility to extract the component files from the exe.
    When I extracted the files from the driver that is posted by HP for your model that I linked you to above, here is the hardware ID for the Conexant Audio chip the driver supports.
    [Conexant]
    %*WDM_AMCAUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_AMCAUD,PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_266E
    As you can see, this driver supports a different Conexant audio chip than the one in your notebook, because the hardware ID you posted is PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370
    So, I googled the hardware ID and found several drivers that had the main ID of PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370, but they had a different &SUBSYS number.
    I had to download and extract the files from a few of them before I finally found one that matched the exact hardware ID as yours which is PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_3091103C
    Please see if this one works...

  • No audio in Windows Vista Home Basic - Compaq Presario c765TU

    Hi all,
    A couple of days ago, my Compaq Presario c765TU lost audio while fastforwarding through a movie I was playing on VLC. The video was stored on an external hard drive. Tried playing music and video files stored on the laptop's local drive, still no sound.
    Audio drivers and BIOS have been updated. Audio devices are listed as installed and working properly in the Device Manager.
    Contemplating on doing a clean re-install of Windows Vista to see if that will work. 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It's hard to know exactly which it is at this point.  It could be one of two things.  The speakers have failed or the jack detect pin located inside the headphone jack has failed.  A non-functional jack detection pin would cause the system to route audio to the headphone jack constantly instead of the internal speakers.  
    If you want to be absolutely certain it is not a software issue (corrupted registry possibly), you can try the system recovery making sure to backup your files.  I suspect this is a hardware issue, but it could very well be a corrupted registry causing the jack detection pin not to be read properly.
