Done with the Conexant HD Audio driver for presario C700 series

No matter how far you move away from a commonly existing matter. It's going to taunt you in one way or the other.

Product: presario C700
Model: c795tu

The other day (siblings Laptop)the mic of the presario C700 on win xp - not responding (internal and external).
Reason: Other end were google talk users.
Even though the skype was properly working with responsive mic the other users were unable to configure it - Believe it or not that too on Windows.
SOooo in the end had to get the updated audio driver for make(GOOGLE TALK) it work but still some flaws are there like the external mic still conked up but internal mic is working.

Amazing thing is HP's compaq presario c700 doesn't come with the XP's support for the devices explicitly. It comes preinstalled with vista pista. Crap!!!!

The above link helped a lot there is a audio_microphone-Conexant_SmartAudio221_XP_Modified.zip driver that needs to be installed.

IMP:- just by clicking the setup.exe won't setup the driver, use the update driver option available with the device manager.

QEmu and samba / QtEmu installation[updated]

Who doesn't want to access the content from host to guest or vice versa..
where the guest OS is Windows
One of the solution is samba(Server Message Block).
though lots of helps have been provided by the linux enthusiast..
well this is what worked for me.


install samba
using apt-get install samba (or) any other way u could possible figure out

edit /etc/samba/smb.conf

[qemu]
comment = user sharable directory
browseable = yes
path = /home/sample/share
writable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = no
create mask = 0666
directory mask = 0777
public = yes

restart the service
//not needed
//entered in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
//10.0.2.4 smbserver

in run dialog box enter \\10.0.2.2\qemu


[update: 5/5/11]
At the time of installing OS using QtEmu the process is pretty direct
1. creating the hard disk img which of course allots space
eg:- /home/ranjit/MyMachines/Ubuntu-9.04/Ubuntu-9.04.img
2. Select the valid CD-ROM image or physical device in my case it was CDROM
/dev/scd0
boot from CDROM
3. If necessary enable the network.
Now just click the start button. This will boot the image from CDROM
After installation
point the Image or device for this virtual device of CDROM option to
/home/ranjit/MyMachines/Ubuntu-9.04/Ubuntu-9.04.img

now the machine is ready to boot from the installed img on harddisk

What is Happiness????

Is it something materialist or is it spiritual?
Can we get happiness whenever we want or is it something uncontrollable?
Can we retain it for longer period of time or it's just a matter of time that it vanishes?
Why the word happiness, why can't it be called contentment or pleasure or goal or anything u can think of?
Why is it that humans crave for happiness when they know that it's shortlived?
Can't we remain constant - i.e with not much outburst of joy or sorrow?

it's an endless Q.. that remains
