Notes
UAA describes a class driver initiative for computer audio solutions that are supported in Microsoft Windows operating systems.
An audio device that is UAA-compliant can rely on the operating system for driver support. Therefore, hardware vendors do not have to supply a custom driver for a device.
A High Definition Audio device complies with the Intel High Definition Audio specification. A High Definition Audio device connects to the PCI bus or to the PCI Express bus. A High Definition Audio device can reside on an internal audio card, or the device can be part of an integrated motherboard chip set.
In the spring of 2004, Intel Corporation released the first hardware that includes High Definition Audio-compliant solutions. The update that is described in this article supports the Intel High Definition Audio-compliant hardware.
The audio industry solution that has been used in the past is the AC’97 Audio codec. UAA includes the following improvements for users, OEMs, and hardware manufacturers.
Improvements for users
- Easier installation of audio peripherals
- Easier installation of audio drivers
- Better system stability
- Better performance
- Glitch-free audio
- Improved security of the content that you want to help protect
- Fewer vendor-supplied drivers
- Less need to upgrade drivers
- Guaranteed basic audio support for UAA-compliant devices
Improvements for OEMs and hardware manufacturers
- Less software development, testing, and support
- Less exposure to product support calls and to product returns
- Easier phase-out of products that are at the "end of life"
If you install, remove, and then re-install this update, the update is no longer listed in Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel. Therefore, you cannot remove this update from your computer. To work around this problem, follow these steps.
Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.
- Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
- Locate and then click the following subkey in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows XP\SP3\KB888111 - On the Edit menu, click Delete.
- Click Yes, and then exit Registry Editor.
