Help with audio after clean install of xppro

[apd]

I know that there were issues after a clean install (by the way...highly recommend clean install...the guide published within the windows OS forum was on the money).

Anyway, i read up on the whole audio complications after a clean install, but can't seem to get the correct drivers installed. I have tried to ''update'' my audio codec drivers and targeted the c:\drivers\others3 first...but that didn't work.

I know i am doing something stupid wrong, so if anyone can give me the steps i need to take to re-install my audio, i would be much obliged.

Your problem might be that you dont have Microsoft's HD Audio fix.

Try to download this file.

MS KB888111

PM me if wont work.

Thanks to Ekjenner, i now have audio back after a windows clean install.

For everyone that is not completely familiar with Windows XP

1>Download the kb888111 file
2> then download winrar from rarlabs.com and extract it (the above file)
3> Ignore the windows found new hardware prompts
4> go to http://www.pc.ibm.com/support and hit 'detect my system'
5> Install active x (if you have a popup blocker it will show that something was trying to download...accept/install active X from Lenovo)
6> Download and install audio driver
7> go to my computer/device manager/
8> click on audio/click on reinstall driver, and then reinstall from specific location...click on browse, and find c:\drivers\audio. Click that folder, and Vaula! Audio is back for Windows XP.

Thanks for help, this forum is great. I just figured i would condense all this information into 1 post, and hopefully people will find it useful.
