Hi

So you dual boot with XP SP3 and Win7 Sp1? just to be clear here?

If XP Sp3 is errant in sound then do you have any yellow ! marks in device manager and if so what?

When the driver fails to install, what is the error message given in full?

The UAA driver will not install from an download if you have one as SP3 already has the UAA driver built in by design, so likelyhood is you may need to do the below.

SP3 has to be fooled in order for HD audio to be installed.
I would install your chipset driver, then look in Device Manager to see if that resolved anything. (probably not)
Then uninstall the bad drivers still there,

Next you will need to do this:
This patch is required before any of the HD device drivers are installed
1. On your PC change the CSDVersion registry key to XP SP2:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows\CSDVersion value=200
2. Restart your PC
3. Install HD_Audio/kb888111xpsp2.exe and Sound Driver - WinXP
4. Change the CSDVersion key back to XP SP3 again:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows\CSDVersion value=300
5. Restart your PC, finalize configuration of your PC, sysprep and capture.

Simplified Directions
Goto Start>Run and type in regedit , then click OK.
Click the plus signs in front of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM, Current Control Set, Control, and finally, click Windows.
In the right panel you will see CSDVersion.
Right click it, choose Modify.
In the highlighted input window, you should see 300. Change it to 200.
Click OK, close regedit and restart your PC. Windows will now think it is SP2 and allow you to install the Microsoft UAA Driver from HERE and then your Sound Driver

Make sure to reboot and then test your sound BEFORE, changing the value back to 300.

Then follow the same steps to change it back to SP3. Change the 200 back to 300.
