I have similar Issue with G550 - 94Q model. While driver installation it displays fail to find High def. audio device. Any hints for correct drivers ?

[Shlomo7492]

I was working until 4:00AM and found a way to solve the problem, in another topic here in the forum. The key is to help the Win Xp to recognize the media device.

FIRST insall any audio device you can use this one http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-69852#audio

the install is going fine and it finds the sound card. This driver doesn't work, but helps.

SECOND then install the driver I have reffered before in my first post, and because Windows already have this hardware the installation of the driver is just smooth and without problems.

WORKS

conexant audio driver for G430 at http://www.sendspace.com/file/cbkrcd

Sadly, non of the solutions seem to work for me.

I installed: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-69852#audio that Shlomo7492 suggested but it doesn't help windows to recognize my hardware. It still says 'no audio device'.

The kb888111xpsp2.exe doesn't work either cause I have sp3, so when I run it it says I already have everything I need.

On the other hand, I have unknown PCI Device in Device manager (with yellow "?" and "!"), so I tried manually to install ConexantAudioDriver on it, but it says that his .inf file has nothing relevant for that device. Allowing it to go online for search didn't help either.

Should also say that I installed XPsp3 which I added some driverpacks so it could work in AHDI, but I had the same problem with normal XPsp3 install (with IDE).

Help anyone?

[Shlomo7492]

I am not sure, but may be the problem is un the SP3. I didn't install anything from Windows update before driver installation and it works.

Lenovo G550 62Q Xp audio driver problem solved.................Thanks Bro my problem solved

[MrPeter1985 Guru]

Yes G550 and G555 seem to have the same issue with installing the sound in XP. The problem can be fixed if you install SP3. Then you can install the original sound driver from the website.

I have same problem but i find the solution.
You can first intstall any intel realtalk driver of any desktop or pc. After install you found audio device on your laptop. After you install lenovo audio driver.
Its really work.
