Compaq Armada 1700 driver problem.

[davidbowiefan]

I'm stumped I've done absolutely everything to my knowledge to figure this problem out, seems like I may have to get a new sound card or go back to having Windows 98 again.


Anyway, heres my problem, I just recently upgraded to Windows XP Pro on my used laptop I got a few christmas's ago the thing is, now that I have XP on my laptop I cannot play any music files Mp3's, Wave, WMA ect ect... I can play CD's though but not music files does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?


Do I need a new sound card? I cannot find any drivers compatible with my laptop, so it's quite possible the sound card I have installed isn't compatible with Windows XP, the other thing is if thats the case, I may not be able to get a new sound card anyways beacuse I think my sound card is attached to my mother board, thats what a friend told me when she was upgrading my computer to Windows XP Pro.

Read the back of your laptop and choose the appropiate link for your download.

Well I looked but I cannot find Windows XP Pro under the operating systems, what it says under my laptop is 6300/T/5000/D/M/1 and I went to the site, it asked me to pick a operating system, Windows XP isn't on there, so I'm guessing I dont have a driver compatible with my compaq armada?

This might be a stupid question but, would Windows NT audio driver work?

 

[davidbowiefan]

Anyone have any idea's of possibly getting around this problem?

Try a similar model number or a 2000 driver

 

[davidbowiefan]

This is gonna drive me crazy...
