TITLE: Realtek High Definition Audio Driver

VERSION: 5.10.0.5233 Rev. B
DESCRIPTION:
This package provides the drivers for the Realtek AC97 High Defintion (HD) 
Audio in the listed desktop models and operating systems. 

NOTE - Users creating their own disk images must first install the Microsoft 
Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) driver before installing the Realtek driver. 
The Microsoft UAA driver provides the necessary support for the HD audio bus 
used by the Realtek HD audio CODEC. Users who are upgrading to this newer 
driver on an existing system, should ensure that the Microsoft UAA driver is 
already installed on the system. The Microsoft UAA driver may be listed on the 
system as the "High Definition Audio Driver Package."

There are separate Microsoft UAA drivers for different versions of the 
operating system. For example, Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 1 and 
Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2 Operating Systems each have a 
different UAA driver. The Microsoft UAA drivers are available from Microsoft, 
or are also available as HP SoftPaqs, as follows:

- SoftPaq Number SP30739 (or later), "Microsoft Windows XP SP1 Universal Audio 
Architecture Update (Q888111)," contains the UAA driver for Microsoft Windows 
XP with Service Pack 1 (SP1). 

- SoftPaq Number SP30301 (or later), "Microsoft Windows XP SP2 Universal Audio 
Architecture Update (Q888111)," contains the UAA driver for Microsoft Windows 
XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2).
