Hello,

I am getting following error when I try to install audio drivers (77a215ww.exe from http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... MIGR-61413 for WinXP.

---------------------------
SoundMAX - InstallShield Wizard
---------------------------
The HDA Audio bus driver is required and not found.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Has anyone else had problems on audio drivers?

Any ideas?

welcome to the forum!

I think you got Z60 and T60 series notebooks mixed up, so I've moved it here to the Z forum.

I had the same problem when installing windows fresh for my z60t. Luckily I had a backup of C: drive before I reinstall, so I still have access to the DRIVERS folder. I found that I had to install the included driver before I can install the 77a215ww.

I can send the driver to you if you want, ... I was going to attach the file here, but I don't know how.

From another forum

"I called Lenovo and got the fix for this audio problem. The problem is we have to download KB88111 fix from microsoft and have to install it first. Then we have to install the Lenovo audio driver. I did this and now sound is coming from my speakers.....hope this will help to all of you

Thanks for all your help and suggestions......"

If you need the hotfix just pm me the language and OS (inc SP) with your email and I can send you a copy

The hotfix content is actually similar to the drivers from lenovo. jpkeisala, if you want to try the hotfix, get it from here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888111

own6volvos : You missed another 8, in KB88111. It should've been KB888111.

What was your problem then?

reginne · #12 Post by **reginne** » Thu Feb 16, 2006 6:47 pm

I didnt find the hotfix driver to audio in this link.

cmc · #13 Post by **cmc** » Mon Mar 20, 2006 4:34 am

I am having the same problem and the Microsoft KB article (888111)
only contains information and no link to the hotfix driver as far as I
can see.

Can someone point me at the download location or send me the driver?

I have a z60m with XP Prof. SP2 (English).

Thanks!

Hello cms,

I found driver from the net after googling for a while. Unfortunally I can't find link now and stupid of me... I also deleted setup files from my PC.
However, take a look Bâshrat the Sneaky's DriverPacks you might find correct driver there.
Please reply to this thread if it works.

cmc · #15 Post by **cmc** » Fri Mar 31, 2006 6:48 am

I eventually contacted Lenovo support and who were very helpful and sent me the file by email.

Apparently HP has noticed microsofts reluctance to provide important patches.

Amrita, thanks very much for the link. It really helped me solving the audio problem.

By the way, I noticed something though, my power scheme used to have ThinkPad Recommended/Enhanced or something like that before the clean install but now I don't have it anymore.

Any recommendation, how to get that back?

Hi folks,
I have a T60p wich I reinstalled and have the missing HDA Audio bus driver problem too.

The knowledge base from MS provides some info but not the driver. I got the files (888111) from the URL "amitra" sent but I can't install them. I could really use some help.

Thanks in advance

Cheers!
Hernan

guys, as i wrote in the t60 forum, the patch you need is already on your pre installed hd. just search it, i think it is in an extra folder somewhere....

hcunico · #21 Post by **hcunico** » Thu Jul 20, 2006 8:43 am

You have to consider that if someone is reinstalling the OS it is very likely that the HDD has been wiped out so no more drivers on any hidden partition. All the resources need to be downloaded again.

I found the solution by installing the driver_audio_microsoft_bus.exe
I can't remember where I got it from but a search in google will do it.

When you install it you will see no text but only ??? (question marks), you'll see two buttons, click the one on the left (that would be OK) and it will install the drivers. It may look scary but hey, I had nothing on that machine, just reinstalled, so I took the chance, it works.

Cheers!

Took some digging, but here's an answer straight from IBM. I experienced this issue on a fresh Windows install on a T60P and this download did the trick.

I couldn't get any of the links above to give me satisfaction but I did find the elusive Microsoft patch elsewhere so I have copied it to the following URL. This file fixed my T61 running WXP SP2.

All I ask in return is that you visit my website.

Lenovo has it available for download on the following webpage - including other language versions.

Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) High Definition Audio class driver (Q888111) for Windows XP with Service Pack 2

artymorty · #27 Post by **artymorty** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 12:57 pm

I got the fix (kb888111) and applied it and it allows me to install the current SoundMax driver, but when I reboot it causes the "Blue Screen of Death" with adihdaud.sys being the culprit. I have to boot into safe mode then unistall the 888111 patch and it will boot back up.

Anyone else had to deal with this?

Billmanweh · #28 Post by **Billmanweh** » Fri Nov 16, 2007 6:46 am

for the life of me I can't get this fixed. I bought a T60 that had a basic reinstall done and I'm now dealing with the "The HDA Audio bus driver..." issue to get the sound working.

If I understand correctly, I need to install the MS hotfix first, then install the kb888111xp2en.exe file from the lenovo site?

I just can't understand why it's not working for me...

artymorty · #29 Post by **artymorty** » Mon Nov 19, 2007 9:16 am

******** Fix **********

Finally, I got mine working! I had to install a bios update from Lenovo first. So, the order of operations is:

1. Apply the latest bios update for your Lenovo
2. Install the MS KB 888111 HDA subsytem patch
3. Install the Lenovo SoundMax drivers.

Hope this helps someone else!

It sure helped me with my T60p wide screen! A million thanks! Here are the links in case anyone is interested:

1. Apply the latest bios update for your Lenovo

2. Install the MS KB 888111 HDA subsytem patch

3. Install the Lenovo SoundMax drivers.

Obviously these links will vary depending on the model# of your computer. This is for a Lenovo T60p widescreen (with fingerprint reader)...not that the fingerprint reader has anything to do with this particular fix though.
