Installed Vista Beta 2 with no problems, it dual-boots alongside XP Media
Center on my new HP Pavillion a1410n. All the hardware worked immediately
after the install without having to install any drivers, except for the
sound. There are no flags in Device Manager, however the audio icon in the
taskbar says that there is no audio device installed. I attempted to install
the XP drivers from HP, but the install fails, telling me that I need the
Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture Driver to be installed first. Any
help is appreciated.

Vista is not XP. It uses a different method for the drivers. If you
can't get any from HP or whoever makes the soundcard, you're stuffed
for now.
 
I have a HP Media Center m7160n with the exact same problem. the install
seemed to go without an problems. The dual boot works great, but no sound.
Any Ideas?
 
Well for all of those that are just as frustrated as I was here is a bit of
relief.
I spent 6 hours trying to fight this system and as all great discoveries
this just came as if from heaven.
I am using an an HP Pavillion and decided to install an Audigy 2 Value
soundcard.
At first after finishing my installation of Vista 64 it notified me that
there was no driver for my sound card.
I ran the Vista 64 and it did not complete saying that my software was not
supported by it. After a while I diecided to see if I coul reinstall the XP
64 driver and all went great with the exeption that there was no sound coming
out of it in spite of the device driver saying that all laws wll.
Frustrated I decided to re-install the Vista 64 driver and after two
attempts voila!!
Sound was coming out of it as if by a miracle. …old windows theme I must
warn you! The sound is of good quality. But there is only one thing and that
is my microphone is not working right. I want to take advantage of the speech
recognition software built in. It worked for me before I hope they have not
messed with it too much
I hope that this helps some people out there.
Now if I could figure out how to import my Outlook contacts, the import
feature is not working for me.
