Hi I've loaded xp onto my hp dv2530ea instead of vista, and most things are working appart from the sound. I can hear sound both system sounds and audio/video sounds and the internal mic can pic up sounds. But it wont record streaming sounds (though I can hear them out the speakers). There's no stereo option in audacity recorder either. Everest is showing I'm using a conexant cx20549 @Intel 82801 HBM ICH8M - High Definition Audio Controller PCI.
This is from Belarc Advisor. Hope someone can help.
