Need High Definition Audio driver

I installed XP Pro on a Compaq Presario (model SR2010NX). Now sound won't
work until I install audio driver.

But the audio driver I can download from HP says I must first install MS
Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) High Definition Audio class driver.

But MS KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888111/ says I can't
download the High Definition Audio driver; I must contact MS Support for it.
But MS Support charges $35 to contact them.

Anyone know how I can get this High Definition Audio driver? Or another way
to enable audio in XP Pro on this PC? Thanks!
 
Thanks Doug, but I'm afraid not. That's just a link to the HP drivers page.
As I said in my original post, I've already been there and I don't need the
Presario-specific audio driver from HP; I need the *prerequisite* for it,
i.e. the MS Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) High Definition Audio class
driver.

But, I found a solution since my OP! :

It turns out that the High Definition Audio driver package which you can
download directly from Realtek (not from HP) includes the MS UAA class driver
(although there's no info on Realtek's site or in their driver package
explicitly saying so).

In fact, if someone needs the MS UAA class driver by itself, it appears that
you can find the file (actually 3 files, 3 different versions) in this
package from Realtek.
