HELP!!! SOUND DRIVER VGN-FE41M

[ale020984]

Hello, I am a new user on this forum.
I have a laptop Vaio VGN-FE41M on Windows Vista Home Premium, but I installed Windows XP Professional.
Now I can't find any compatible drivers for my sound card. (STAC9872AK Intel 82801 GBM ICH7-M)
Can You help me please???

Thanks so much

Ale

Hi Ale and welcome to Club Vaio.

You need to install: -

1. Microsoft UAA High Definition Audio Driver - Hotfix KB
2. Sigmatel CXD9872 High Definition Audio Codec for XP

Download the Preinstalled Drivers Package for the FE31M-Series Vaios from here: -

http://support.vaio.sony.co.uk/downloads/updates/updates.asp?site=voe_en_GB_cons&c=0&s=VGN-FE&m=2404

The FE31 has the same hardware as your FE41M except it was sold with Windows XP. Right-click on the downloaded file FE3_Drivers.ZIP and choose "Extract All". Extract all the files to a new folder C:\FE3_Drivers. I would keep this folder for future use as it will contain ALL the XP drivers for your Vaio. Utilities can also be downloaded from here.

1. Navigate to C:\FE3_Drivers\Drivers\Audio\UAA High Definition Audio Class Driver and double-click on KB835221.EXE to install the UAA High Definition Driver.

2. Navigate to C:\FE3_Drivers\Drivers\Audio and double-click on Setup.EXE to install the Sigmatel CXD9872 High Definition Audio Codec for XP.

Your sound should now be OK.
