Problem with HD Audio Bus Driver / QFE

[meditate2001]

Hi,
finally I got my T60 I like it, my T42 seems much more fragile. But yes, the design of the function keys is horrible. I mean come on, the colours....

Anyway I installed fresh Winxp and now the soundmax driver said that I should install a hd-audio bus driver. I searched this forum and one that that the ibm driver is on the original disc located in the other3 directory. i have this and it seems that it is installed.
but now i read:

"
If you are installing this driver on a system where the factory installed preload has been removed and a shrink wrap copy of Windows 2000 or XP has been installed, the Universal Audio Architecture High Definition Audio Class Driver (KB888111US) must be installed first.

See Microsoft Knowledge Base Articles 8352221 and 888111.
Call our Support Center to obtain the QFE patch. Support phone numbers
"

Sure you can download it - just not from MS. Search the forum for "hotfix" and "audio". I posted a link to a site with the file.

Serpico, I dont know what these were, but it wasnt the ms fix. anyway i found it:

The MS Fix KB888111US is in the drivers or supprt directory on the preinstalled harddrive ! wow ! Thanks IBM / Lenovo. I searched and searched the net and finally i found it where it belongs

I just want to mention that for people searching the forum and have the same problem when the fresh installing winxp

Hi Serpico,

had the same problem with my machine, but in addition, I installed the US XP version (bought my machine here in good old Germany)
The preinstalled fix was for Germany only.

But for any of these updates/fixes, the Compaq/HP support site is a awsome repository. You find all the files you need.
