It's a HDA Intel with Conexant codec, running on ICH 7 chipset. There shouldn't be any problem since it's as standard as it gets - I have the same laptop. Chances are the XP installation is borked or a previous driver didn't get removed cleanly. Wait, is it even XP? Check, it may just be Vista. Just go back and maybe they'll restore or reinstall Windows. You can download a Linux LiveCD for the meantime if you really need sound.

Take note, you have to install the UAA first and then the Conexant.

Computer > Properties > Devices look for the audio component and uninstall. I think you just missed the UAA that's all.

might be the hardware...

nope, like what guttaralpiss said, it's most likely the UAA bus driver thingy. I have 2 Compaq V3000 (free from starhub) one intel core2duo one amd turion , you need to install the UAA first then install the audio last. if still cannot despite a reinstall. then most likely hardware..
