DESCRIPTION:
This package provides the drivers for the ADI SoundMAX Integrated Digital 
High-Definition (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 ADI driver. The 
Microsoft UAA driver provides the necessary support for the HD audio bus used 
by the ADI 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 SP32395 (or later), "Microsoft Windows XP SP2 Universal Audio 
Architecture Update (Q888111)," contains the UAA driver for Microsoft Windows 
XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2).
