How to Fix ur Windows XP SP3 Audio Problem

Windows XP SP3 Audio Problem

Let's get on with the solution... see if it works for you.

1) Open Regedit and go to :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows\CDSVersion

2) Double-click CDSVersion and change it to 200, then restart your system.
100 (hex) means its sp1

200 (hex) means its sp2

300 (hex) means its sp3

3) Install kb888111xp2.exe (Microsoft UAA Patch which should be available from your Audio driver folder)

4) Install audio driver

5) Change CSDVersion back to 300 (remember this or else you system will think it's still SP2 and many SP2 updates may reemerge in your Windows Update, that's my logical guess anyway )

6) Restart your system
