Go to the HP website and speak to an expert via live chat it should help. It solved many of my problems. If not I would google your soundcard and download the updated drivers.

I'm stuck like you on this one but based on the Motherboard specs you have a realtek sound card. Realtek ALC888 to be exact. You're best bet is to go to the realtek website and download the drivers there. http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/

Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) High Definition Audio class driver available for Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/835221 If you install Service Pack 3 for Windows XP, I don't think the UAA driver will be needed.

If you couldn't find driver on HP site easy, you could try a program I use. It automatically updates your drivers, saves me a lot of time and frustration. Take a look here for those drivers. http://www.hp-drivers.org/
