How do I install a sound driver?

'mornin all,

Installed win98se on HP Pavilion (old XP)

Son needs to have sound for his "Warcraft 3"
and we have found no sound driver.

The audio is integrated in the motherboard
we have found the audio driver is
Codec Crystal CS4299
3D sound support
direct sound 3D,A3D 1.0

we have downloaded the driver
hpCS4299 9x.zip

How do we now load this driver please.

We tried loading new hardware, but as the sound is integrated
we cannot locate the place to load the driver.

step by step if possible, we are muggles.


Thanks, and regards.

Please check and re-post with the exact file name you downloaded....I find no
reference to "hpCS4299 9x.zip" or to "hpCS4299 _9x.zip"

Usually, you unzip the zipped file or files, using an app like WinZip
(www.winzip.com), to a folder such as My Documents or the desktop. If there is only
a setup.exe file, run it. If there are numerous files unzipped, look for and read
the readme file for directions. H-P usually has installation instructions on the
web pages where you download a driver file.

G'day Glee,
I recieved the driver from a download site at
http://www.driverguide.com/join.htm

the file was (exactly) hp_cs4299_9x.zip


The uploaders instructions were a bit thin
he ripped them from an XP disk I guess.

Next thing. Red Face dept

I guess I must have done something correct
the sound is now working, after I found I had plugged the
speakers into the wrong jack (..........groan)
The speaker jack was orange, as was the female in the
back of the box, but I noted it was the microphone receptacle.
I plugged it into an in/out female and it seems to be OK
Anyhows, the sound is working albeit the volume is fairly limited
even at max volume.

Thanks for responding, I appreciate that.

It looks as if the driver is enclosed in a ZIP file.

You need to use WinZip from http://www.winzip.com/ to open
the file and then extract the contents to a folder with
the Extract button, or run the driver file's instal .exe
file from within WinZip.

You can use WinZip on a trial basis, but there are many
free alternatives.

Go he http://www.pcbuyerbeware.co.uk/Links.htm#zip

Wait for the browser to go directly to the links, which
might take a while because they're right at the end of the
links' list, which is long.

Been there, done that ;-)
You can't always rely on the colors of the connectors, I found out the hard way.

The installation instructions are here, I believe:
http://www.soundcard-drivers.com/drivers/142/142034.htm

Glad it's working....perhaps they are not the optimum drivers for that system. If
you don't like the quality you can keep looking for better drivers, but you may not
find anything.

You should be able to install a sound card, if you can find how to disable the
onboard sound (usually a setting in BIOS setup).

Thanks Eric,
Yes, I am au fait with winzip.
The file quoted did not have an install exe
hence my question.

I see now I have to install via "add new hardware"
the tricky bit is knowing exactly what drivers to search for
when replacing drivers in a purpose built machine
with integrated sound/graphics in the motherboard.

I'll limp onwards, because I have got myself into this mess
never again will I touch a brand name computer.
Clones are for me.

I'll check today if the MB has slots for sound/graphics
and if so will replace with new boards and be done with it.

Okee Dokey,
The graphics yesterday turned out poor
when son tried to play Warcraft 3, so I'll open
the box and see if there are slots for sound/graphics
and install new boards.

Now the monitor is beginning to flicker.

(Boy! I'm having a bad day :0)

Check the BIOS settings carefully, and read any documentation you may have, to
determine how to disable onboard sound and/or video, before installing cards. You
may find info at the H-P support web site, if you know the model of the computer.
Good luck....
