Compaq Presario CQ60-211dx - Windows XP Sounds Are Low Pitched

I know I'm going to get replies saying to upgrade my OS from Windows XP.
I have a Compaq Presario CQ60-211dx running Windows XP Professional 32 bit. The system sounds are kind of low pitched. Let's say the system audio is at C but my sound is at B flat. It's starting to become kind of annoying, because I don't really like sounds that are off tone. Also whenever I close and open the lid on the laptop, the sounds just don't work, until I restart the laptop. I have Conexant HD Smartaudio 221.
Anyone help?

Hi @darkness12445
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are having sound quality issues. I am happy to assist. When I looked up your notebook I found that there were no drivers for XP on the support page, which would mean it was not sold configured for XP. So the drivers you are using would not have been customized to be compatible with the other standard devices in this series of notebooks. That may be part of the problem.
But for now...

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.

Compaq Presario C754CA Audio & Graphic Drivers?

Compaq Presario C754CA

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 ^^

No audio on my Compaq Presario F750EL

Hi everyone, I've some troubles with my audio system.
This morning I was on Youtube watching a video; I closed the page for a while, then I tried to watch again the same video and I didn't get any sound (I tried even with headphones, but I can't still hear a thing).
On my speaker icon there's a red cross, if I put my cursor on it, it says "No AudioDevice Installed".
So, I went to my local support site (I'm Italian) and tried to fix the problem by going on Start>services.msc>Windows Audio>right click, but then I couldn't click on the Start button as I was supposed to.
I then tried to download the driver for my notebook. At first, I let HP check for me if I needed any but then, as it said I didn't, I downloaded myself the only audio driver possible for my version (I checked and put the right operative system).
However, when I try to install the driver, it runs properly until it says that the driver cannot be installed because it can't find the device for this driver.
N.B.: I haven't uninstalled my previous driver and I haven't downloaded any upgrade lately, my audio just switched off for no reason apparently.
Honestly I'm not that good with computers so, please, explain clearly; I also hope that I was enough clear and the terms were right as I translated everything at my best.
Thanks a lot in adance for a quicl response!

(http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&objectID=c01366233)
My operative system is Windows Vista 32bit
I downloaded this diriver: Driver Conexant HD-Audio SmartAudio 221
If you need more info tell me.

i did the restore, too, and it didn't work. that's what baffled me! imagine restoring to factory default and the audio still does not work? i must admit that i did download one of the updates and got the audio working. it was temporary because as the Windows Vista updates were being applied, at one point I lost audio again.
i did a bit more research last night and found an interesting post. it requires manually amending some files, so i'm okay to give that a try. as this has been quite the issue to troubleshoot, i will post a solution if I find it. i don't want to settle on this... don't give up!

You're very welcome.
Looks to me like you have to manually install the XP audio driver as follows...
Download and run this file. If it installs the audio, great. If not...close out of any error windows.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-18403-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
Go to the device manager and click on the multimedia audio controller needing drivers.
Click on the driver tab. Click on Update Driver. Select the Browse my computer for driver software and browse to:
C:\SWSetup\sp27325\SMAXWDM\W2K_XP\smwdmNV8, and select the SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio device from the list and see if the driver installs that way.
Then reboot.

AUDIO DRIVER of compaq presario f761us for windows XP

where can I down load the audio driver for windows XP.
my notebook is compaq presario f761us.
ps: there is no audio driver in HP's web sit as below,

Thank you.

Hi:
I looked around and all I could find were audio drivers for Windows Vista.
If you can connect your notebook to the internet, I recommend you download and run this free tool called Device Doctor. It has helped me out lots of times.
It will scan you computer and then find the drivers from a database somewhere in cyberspace.
Hopefully it will point you to the XP audio driver. I don't recommend you update any drivers that are working but for ones that you can't find, you have nothing to lose. Again, your notebook must be connected to the internet for this to work.
