Presario R4000 Laptop Audio Drivers not working

So, I've got this older Laptop, the Compaq Presario R4000.
It was giving me a really hard time with software with the original OS and stuff, so I decided to format it and install my own Windows XP Professional on it, as opposed to the Compaq-ware filled XP Home that was already on it.
So I formatted, installed Windows, and found the driver page for it.
I Flashed the BIOS despite the fact that I don't think it was necessary, but I wasn't sure.
I installed the graphics drivers no problem.
Installed the wireless device drivers, though not sure if these are working, but it's not significant.
What is significant however, is that the Audio Drivers provided on the site do not work at all. I looked for other drivers, looked for other driver versions for the OSs and various other Presario models, but nothing has worked.
I don't know what the problem is. I'm really hoping someone is able to help!
Thanks in advance.
Error Message:
BTW, I should mention what the error message I'm getting is.
A command window pops up running the following command:
c:\swsetup\SP29873>start /min \swsetup\audio\setup.exe /s
I tried fiddling with the batch file that was running these commands to see if that would help, but it doesn't.
Still always get the same error message:
"Windows cannot find '\swsetup\audio\setup.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search."

I have the same error message, have you figured it out yet? If yes, please tell me what you did <text deleted> Thanks

  • Presario R4000 USB 2.0 not working

    Hi all, sorry if I'm rehashing an old subject but I've not seen anything pertinent to my rig on this forum.
    My laptop is an elderly (2005!) Presario R4000 (R4065EA to be precise) and for many a year now it's been giving me USB issues. Anything I plug in gives me the message about "this device can perform faster". I know that when I had the machine from new, the USB 2.0 was fine but since then I've had to perform several clean Windows reinstallations.
    I've got all the most recent drivers as far as I can tell. I've scoured the interwebs for chipset drivers but can find nothing more suitable than that offered by HP support. I've also seen posts about the issue of a USB 1.x device setting a computer's hub to run slowly... is there anyway to detect this phenomenon and correct it?
    Thanks in advance

    What operating system are you running? Does the device manager indicate that the usb controller is "enhanced"?
    The R4000 is an AMD laptop if I recall and is essentially the same as the zv5000 series and uses an nForce chipset from nVidia. I think it is the nForce 3:
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce3_winxp_5.11.html
    However, Windows itself (I would guess you have XP) provides the usb 2.0 driver and sometimes you have to force the OS to install the driver by uninstalling all usb device drivers, rebooting and letting them reload. That is why it is important to see if the usb controller driver description says "enhanced".

  • Realtek AC97 Audio Drivers Not Working!

    Hi.
    I recently had a HD crash and I was forced to format it. I installed everything just as the first time, and everything worked fine except the audio drivers. The problem is, it does actually install the drivers, but when I look at Sound Options or Device Manager there are no drivers for the soundcard. It says installation is complete and then I restart the computer, and when I try to update with MSI Live Monitor 3, it says I got the latest drivers installed. STILL doesnt work.
    Does anyone have a hint about the problem? Any virus? On another note Norton discovered viruses on my computer, even though I had installed the antivirus-software before connecting to internet\network. This is what it found:
    W32.Randex.gen - msconfg.exe
    W32.Spybot.Worm - vsmon.exe
    And some adware.
    In virus description it says the viruses can come with programs but I have only installed a few programs, and it says it will spread through IRC. I have 2 other computers in my network, but I dont know if they have anything to do about it. The program will not work correctly whitch is infected with this virus, so maybe there is a chance Live Monitor got it and somehow cant get the sound working... probably not, but this is all i can give.
    Tried to reformat another time but still same problem... motherboard broken??

    motherboard broken??
    Possibly. One way to try is see if it works fine with different os'es. If you can download knoppix's latest version (which I hope supports the onboard audio, like my new fedora linux does) and try it, then you can find out if the sound works or not.
    Knoppix is a kind of special linux that you don't have to install, it just runs off of a cd.
    On another note, I find that if I run live update, or open live monitor and search for new drivers, my sound is cut off whether I update or not till the next reboot.

  • MSI Z97 Gaming 5 - RealTek Audio Drivers not working

    I just assembled my rig and installed all the drivers. For some reason there's no audio playing when the Realtek drivers are installed. Audio can be played when using the generic audio drivers. The Sound Blaster Cinema 2 doesn't work as well. I get the following errors below when I have the realtek driver installed.

    I just fixed this. Apparently the realtek drivers that came with the installer doesn't work. I downloaded the latest version at the website and it works. I wonder if MSI knows this. They should fix the installer cds that come with the motherboards.

  • Audio drivers not working on presario M2000 laptop

    Have you install MS-UAA before sound driver? Install it before audio and modem drivers.
    In some older models of presario the sound driver need to be installed with "a force"
    Use Device Manager,right click "Audio Device on HD",choose Update driver,
    No to connect, Install from a list or specific location,
    Select Don't Search, I will choose the driver to install,
    For the Hardware Type select 'Show All Devices'
    Remove the check from "Show Compatible Hardware" and click on "Have Disk".
    Next...browse to the unzipped folder and choose the "XXX.inf".

  • Streaming, Flash, Quicktime, and Audio Drivers not working

    Purchased and installed 10.5 on Saturday, installation caused a crash and finally got it to work today, but now when trying to view flash and quicktime streams on safari, I just get a question mark. i've read all the other posts on this, tried changing the MIME settings, no change.... those posts were not helpful.
    PLUS: the install deleted the audio driver, i can't adjust the volume, nothing comes out of the speakers when itunes is play a song. is there any way i can restore the drivers for both these problems without re-installing 10.5 and risking another crash?

    Try this for the flash/quicktime problem:
    Go to home/library/preferences
    Find the file named com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
    Move the file to your desktop.
    Quit Safari, then restart Safari. Problem fixed? If so you can trash the plist file from your desktop.
    On the audio problem, I'm not sure. Perhaps check the settings in AudioMidi Setup in your Utilities folder.
    Hope this helps,
    Jeff

  • My Laptop Audio is NOT Working

    Model Name and Number: HP Notebook dv6t-A1U59AV
    I was listening to music, paused for a second, and continued it a bit later and it played but no audio came out of my headphones. I proceeded to use my speakers instead and recieved the same result. Next, I tested out different audio outputs such as iTunes and Youtube, all yielding the same result, no sound.
    I have intergrated beats audio.
    I am not muted.
    I downloaded IDT (By reccomendation of a different post) and no solution came.
    I checked device manager and it said all was normal, I troubleshooted my sound card and no problems were discovered.
    I think the problem could be that the sound card itself broke and the computer does not recognize it (I dropped my computer about 2 inches on a hard table while the music was paused)
    Please Help!
    Thanks!
    This question was solved.

  • My audio does not work on my pavilion dv4. i just bought this laptop a few days ago. what's going on

    my audio does not work on my pavilion dv4

    This worked for me.
    Hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dashboard.plist.  Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Log out/in
    If it works, delete the .plist on your desktop.
    If  the same, return the .plist to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

    Hello Rick_of_Jonghap,
    I understand that the speakers on your notebook computer are not working properly, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    To restore the audio to your notebook, I recommend following this document on No Sound from Speakers (Windows 7). This should help with the playback on your system.
    In addition, you can also follow @SuperMario1's thread on Troubleshooting Guide: Audio does not Work after a Certain Period of Time. This guide should help with your notebook's audio output in regards to a recent Windows Update.
    For more assistance, I will need to know:
    1. If your computer has completed all of its important Windows Updates.
    2. If you have updated your HP drivers using the HP Support Assistant.
    3. If this is an on-going, or recent issue.
    4. If plugging in headphones produce the same problem.
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, as well as the requested information above. I look forward to your reply!

  • U305-S5077: Audio is not working

    Hello,
         My toshiba laptop's audio is not working. I tried downloading the driver online, rebooting the computer to its factory default setting, and looking for other solution online, but I can't seem to get the sound working. When I go to the device manager, the sound icon is not there even after downloading the driver and restarting the computer. I don't know what else to do. Please help. Thanks.
    Christinne

    One of these drivers, Christinne? May as well try both.
       Realtek Audio Driver for Windows Vista (Version: 6.0.1.5473)
       Realtek Audio Driver for Windows Vista (Version: 6.0.1.5420 Logo) 
    When I go to the device manager, the sound icon is not there
    On the other hand, when the device is missing from Device Manager, it normally indicates a hardware malfunction.
