Lost Sounds

[T.E.Ponta]

I recently got fed up with Vista and installed XP Home edition on my Dell
Inspiron 531.

After some minor hassles, I got my network and video display working
correctly, but I can't for the life of me to get any sound of any kind.

I can boot with a Kubuntu demo CD and get sound with no problem, so I know
my hardware is working.

Device Manager lists an item under System Devices labeled "Microsoft UAA Bus
Driver for High Definition Audio", which appears with a yellow circle and
black exclamation point on it, so I assume this is the culprit.
R-Click/Properties states "Windows cannot initialize the device driver for
this hardware. (Code 37)", whatever that means.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Open up the device with the exclamation point, click on the Driver tab, and
Update. When asked to connect to Microsoft Update, click yes and see if that
takes care of it.
