Sound driver on eeepc notebook

I recently installed windows xp sp3 on my eeepc 2g surf notebook.... (which was linux before)
all went smoothly and all of the drivers installed fine, until i got to the audio part.

Audio device on high definition audio bus with yellow ! and i cant hear a thing, open up volume controls and its like i just dont have speakers. I try to 'update driver' and it says i never installed one, i can disable it, but then i cannot uninstall it. it says ' the device may be required to boot the computer'

I have taken them off of my control panel and re installed drivers.
I've put in audio and patches from microsoft
Ive .... done just about everything i could find out there to try!

aaand i got nothin :/

 

Definitely just a driver issue I would think.

See if this helps

Seems some people were having the same kinds of issues manually installing the drivers

 

I found a solution elsewhere!
