Audio is Soundmax HD and needs the MS UAA to be installed first, check Device Manager - expand System - see if Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture is installed.

Go back to Lenovo, at the very bottom the Intel Chipset - install then Restart your comp
Get MS UAA here, it's for a Gigabyte board but is supplied from M$

then make a note of where you downloaded and unzipped the driver and install this way, it's the Soundmax HD or your yellow flagged device

1. Expand "Sound, video and game controllers"
2. Right-click the the yellow flagged device ( or audio device Realtek, Soundmax C-Media etc ) and choose Update Driver
3. In Windows XP SP2, the Update Wizard will prompt to connect to the Windows Update
4. Select "No, not this time" and click Next
5. Select "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" and click Next.
6. Select "Search for the best driver in theses locations" and check "Include this location in the search"
7. Click Browse and select the location of downloaded driver
8. Click OK and click Next
9. Wait while the Wizard installs the software
10. Click Finish.

Set a System Restore Point before installing drivers just in case
Start / All Programs / Accessories / System Tools / System Restore / select Create a restore point and follow instructions
