OK, I got it working now.
I had read the MS article about UAA drivers, but the one I tried before was for XP-SP1 and earlier - pre-05/2004. The spfpac SP32646 is for XP-SP2 (post-05/04 versions). The first ones would not install, but SP32646 did install.
SP33543 also would not install - I got a MEDIA device not found error. But then I did a manual driver install, telling Windows what I wanted to install and using Have Disk. I browsed to the C:\SWSETUP folder and located the .INF file. Piece of cake!
Thanks! I'll be sending you a donation for your trouble.

The first driver I tried was the Vista driver you mentioned. The driver installed OK, but the sound still did not work. That's why I've been looking for other drivers.
I will try doing the extract and Have Disk method and let you know if that works.

I apologize for my error(s). I'm no noob, but in my frustration I didn't read the rules. I have seen the error of my ways.
A further question then about how the drivepacks are arranged. What are Sound A and Sound B DrivePacks?
The laptop uses the new Hermosa audio chipset. I bought the lt from Newegg. It did not come with recovery disks but I have ordered them from HP. I've tried about every driver for this PC on the HP site, but they're all listed for Vista, not XP.
I'll report back and let you know if the generic driver works.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got a deal on a Compaq Pesario CQ60-215DX laptop that I've dg-ed to XP-SP3. I have all the other devices working except for sound. Device Manager says I'm missing an Audio Device On HD Audio Bus. I've tried about 8 different drivers, but I get a MEDIA NOT FOUND error when I try to install.
Hardware IDs are:
HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV5051&SUBSYS_103C360A&REV_1000
HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV5051&SUBSYS_103C360A
I've already spent $60 on f---ed up driver detectors (Driver Detective, Driver Robot) that don't do what they claim. I need some real help here as this laptop is for my kid going off to college in a couple of weeks.
