VERSION: 5.10.0.5221 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 - Refer to the Prerequisites section for important information regarding 
the installation of this driver. 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 from HP as 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
