I downloaded the Vista service pack thingy yesterday and since then I can't seem to get any sound, it says No Audi output device is installed bit I've been to the cotrol panel and under Device manager/sound there is Conextant High Defination Audio installed and the driver is Version 4.15.0.50 but the location says 0.

Now being a Mac person, this means bugger all to me so could someone put me right please in what to do next in a real basic kind of way. :wink:

I tried to see if it would update (via tinternet) but it came back saying that it was up to date. :?

If you read a little about SP1 for vista you'll see the main reason it's not yet available on windows update, and only for people who actually choose to download and install, is driver issues.

Microsoft is only going to put it on windows update for the masses after some finding drivers which work for more hardware types and can put them on windows update too.

Method for Cause 5

To help ensure a positive update experience, Windows Update will temporarily not offer Windows Vista SP1 to systems that have the following device drivers. In some cases, these device drivers are problematic on Windows Vista-based computers when you update to Windows Vista SP1. By installing updated device drivers, you will resolve the issue and enable Windows Update to offer Windows Vista SP1.

The warning said this is a 736MB download ,if you are updating one pc the download will be available mid April as a 73MB download (figures are approx) That was enough to put me off.

I've just managed to solve the problem, I went to the HP website and they had a section for fixes for SP1, eventually managed to download the correct driver and all is fine now.

Had exactly the same thing last time round with the original Vista SP1, but like you i went to the HP website & downloaded the most recent Contexant Driver & all was good. Only downside is that every group updates download offers up the MS recommended Contexant driver & that's the one that don't work, so just watch for that in future updates.

there was also a warning that some drivers would not work and a number would have to be reinstalled manually.

I am waiting for auto update though again they warn that if you have not updated certain fixes then you will not be able to download sp1

sounds like they still have not got the fixes right!!

those who have updated could you post an update to say whether its worth updating please

cheers
