The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture High Definition Audio bus driver and more

Asked by EasyTechNY in Hardware Components, Operating Systems Miscellaneous, Microsoft Operating Systems

I was fixing a computer today, a HP Pavilion Media Center a1619h Desktop PC. Windows XP was already installed. In device manager there were drivers missing, with a yellow markings. I went in on www.hp.com, software and drivers to find the original Drivers. Under Microsoft Windows XP there where no drivers. Under Original drivers there were 6 drivers.

The first one I installed was Fall 2006 Original Asus Modem Driver. It installed, and the yellow marking went away. Afterwards I found out it said "You must install Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 on the system before installing these drivers". QUESTION; why was able to install it without service pack 2? At this time I did install Service Pack 2.

The second one, Fall 2006 Original Realtek High Definition Audio Driver, did not install. This one also stated, "You must install Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 on the system before installing these drivers". But the reason why it didn`t want to install was as the computer message screen said, and the HP instructions stated; "You must install Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture High Definition Audio bus driver on the system before installing these drivers". QUESTION; where do I find this driver and why is it not placed with the original drivers?

Last question, which might be partly related to the latter ones. After installing Service Pack 2, the Control Panel / System, confirmed this, while run / dxdiag only stated Windows XP. Why?
