Topic: The usual Sony Vaio problems - VGN-FE41M

Hello, ok i know like loads of ppl have problems downgrading to windows xp from vista, tbh i dont know why is it really hard to understand the winvista is a pile of crap.....well anyways i bougth this laptop and of couse ive been 2 days trying drivers, i just made a 10 gig partition and dual installed winxp and vista so i could test everything before erasing vista.

So far ive have gotten all the drivers except the sound drivers, wich are giving me the code 10 error as usual.

I installed all the modem sound drivers and all its just that the Sigmatel HD audio is not working. Consider that ive tried everything i could get my hands on, if anyone can give me some hint in how to solve it could be very nice.

Kamicase.

Re: The usual Sony Vaio problems - VGN-FE41M

Have you slipstreamed an Update Pack, such as RyanVM?
Or, if not, have you manually added the HDA Hotfix (KB888111) by chance?
Please also post DPs_BASE.log and DPsFnshr.log!

Re: The usual Sony Vaio problems - VGN-FE41M

DPs_BASE.log is in your DriverPacks directory (from where you run BASE) and DPsFnshr.log is in %Systemroot%.

I do think you know how to run a Windows file search, though, right...?

Re: The usual Sony Vaio problems - VGN-FE41M

VAIO VGN-41M audio/sound problem with WinXP:
Sigmatel High Definition Audio CODEC CXD 9872

HI WORLD!
I recently downgraded my Vista VAIO to XP Vaio (clever ha?). So i faced a few problems but the audio is the wors one.
Those f***i*g Sigmatel audio chip - instead of common Intel (!). So other drivers more or less functioning (FN key?),
and Audio - the nightmare.

So - download and install:
1. MS hotfix KB835221  (find SP26334.exe but not for HP!)     - 19.782kb
2. MS hotfix KB888111             -667kb
3. STDAUD-01108005-UN             -5.092kb
4. try Realtek audio driver: R114282.exe    -6.286kb

Good Luck! Vaio - Ok hardware, lousy support!

Certainly a smart move tongue

Those f***i*g Sigmatel audio chip - instead of common Intel (!).

Just FYI: even mobos manufacturer by Intel are using Sigmatel audio chips, for instance Intel's current desktop flagship Bad Axe 2 (D975XBX2):
http://www.intel.com/products/motherboa … /index.htm

So other drivers more or less functioning (FN key?),

They ususally do.
Personally, I haven't seen a notebook myself where they didn't (not to say it doesn't happen, though).
Even on Linux you have a pretty good chance by now it works right away.

and Audio - the nightmare.

Probably just due to the missing HDA hotfix (KB888111).

This always is a problem with HDA (HighDef. Audio) and not limited to Sigmatel specifically.

Re: The usual Sony Vaio problems - VGN-FE41M

hi to all, and sorry the OT
time ago, i posted a video driver (at that time i thinked was the lonely one... ) problem about this "notebook" here: http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=1592
i founded some drivers, but after a BIG research i "left" and i have reinstalled the original vista, and sended back

the notebook was not mine but a friend one
now he recall me about a big problem with some hw (hp not vista supported)
i'd like to solve it intalling a fully driver supported os (xp)

the question: have, someone, ended a xp installation with this notebook?
if so, can u gently, say me what kinds of driver have u used?

thx to all, and sorry the ot

I read your post four times and I still have no idea what you're asking.  Are you asking about the notebook in THIS thread, the notebook in your OTHER thread (which you should have posted there) or this mystery HP notebook of your friends (needs NEW thread)?
Also, are you asking about a sound driver or a video driver? 
This area is for sound drivers, and this thread specifically is regarding the Sony notebook in the title...nothing else.

No thread hijacking please.

the video problem WAS solved, the audio, reading the previous posts, too
but there are some other problems like the webcam, and the power management
google seems not help, and so i tryed to ask here (i know is a OT, but i hope in some answers)

Re: The usual Sony Vaio problems - VGN-FE41M

Sorry for sounding harsh.  I didn't understand what you meant.

I did some 'googling' myself and came up with this thread.

Basically, the owner just used drivers meant for the VGN-FE31M and all was well.
Good luck.
