Fixing Could not find the MEDIA device on HP Pavilion dv2419us
Posted by: admin In: HP Compaq
When completed downgrading HP dv2419us laptop from Vista to Windows XP
someone realized that he doesn’t have drivers. So the one thing he can
do is took the help of the HP online techs and got all the drivers
required. The devices names below may vary according to the model but
the punch line is first the chipset drivers, the UAA, and then sound.
Here’s the typical installation pattern.
- NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 Graphics Driver for Windows XP.
- WinFlash for HP Notebook System BIOS
- NVIDIA nForce Chipset Driver and Network Controller
- UAA drivers to enable the audio hardware
- Conexant High Definition Audio Driver
- Conexant HDAUDIO Soft Data Fax Modem driver
- Broadcom Wireless LAN Driver
- HP Quick Launch Buttons
- Ricoh 5-in-1 Card Reader Driver
The crucial problem of HP dv2419us laptop device drivers is with
windows. Windows does not detect the HD audio device on the dv2419
laptop so you need the UAA driver to detect it. But surprisingly it
won’t detect even if you installed the UAA driver besoc…. Some
Windows XP sp2 are not complete and you need to make a windows update
for this. Certain Windows patch fixes this issue and you should be
able to see your audio device in the device manager list of HP
dv2419us laptop.
When you are installing the audio driver in HP dv2419, if you are
encountering a problem like ‘Driver installation failed: Could not
find the MEDIA device for this driver.’ open your device manager and
look into the System Devices. You should see a device with ‘!’ named
as PCI device. Select it and update the driver (by both deleting and
refreshing the list or right click and update driver). That will ask
you for the driver location. Select the driver file setup directory
from /Swsetup/sp#### and click ok. That should solve the devices
drivers problem of HP dv2419 laptop.
