I was reinstalling Windows XP on a Dell Latitude E4200. I installed the drivers in the correct order but was still left with a yellow caution in the Device manager for “audio device on high definition audio bus”.

I found lots of solutions on the internet about various Microsoft hotfixes like kb888111 and kb835221 neither of which made any difference.

The solution which may also work for any modern Latitude E series with Intel Video is as follows.

In my case the “audio device on high definition audio bus” was really Intel HDMI audio and the drivers for this can be found in the same folder as the video drivers that you can download from Dell.

To update the driver  just go to the yellow caution and choose update driver and point it to the HDMI folder of the intel video driver (as pictured below).

I could not find this documented anywhere so I hope it helps.
