It is not required to know who the tiny internal original electronic parts of a proprietary manufactured laptop are. All the drivers are supplied by the laptop manufacture in question (being HP in this case)

If the sound drivers do not exist on the HP support page for your given laptop, then I would say contact them h e r e and ask for their whereabouts. As long as HP support the operating system for that particular laptop, they then must also carry the drivers, although not a legal requirement, this is still classed as basic support, of which HP adhere to.

In some cases though it may be that the drivers are found through Windows itself, and in this case a Windows Update (using Internet Explorer) would be required (under custom updates)
 
more info

they do have drives for this laptop, the only thing is that it came with vista and it now has xp,which they doe not have. I guess I will have to buy vista and reinstall it.

Actually go through all those threads (there's 4 of them)

Also do not reply to yourself (ever) when your post is still the last post in the thread just use EDIT to add to your post (if you need to)

Edit:
I placed some text in Bold above, as you seem to have edited your previous post, which is not what I meant (your post is presently not the last post in the thread)
Please contact HP directly here: https://www.techspot.com/vb/topic100655.html
As advised in Post#2
 
There are no "other means"
Contact them back and state they must know where they are, as they support XP and Vista for that model
 
re

Here is what I found out from HP.

HP does not support the downgrading of HP Pavilion and Compaq Presario computers from Windows Vista to Windows XP.

mine is a:
HP Pavilion dv6809wm Entertainment Notebook PC

Still checking with some outhers hope to find a fix.

Just saw your post. Based on the Problem Devices, will have a look at the drivers and will update you tomorrow. (am guessing i should be able to find the right drivers.. Or at minimum have detail about your driver problem tomorrow)
 
I went into the device manager and found the following. I hope this helps in finding a fix for my sound problem.

OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller has an ! in front of it.
HDAUDIO Soft Data Fax Modem with SmartCP has an ! in front of it.

Audio Device on High DefinitionAudio Bus has an ? in front of it.
Video Controller (VGA Compatible) has an ? in front of it.
 
Yes I did. Thank you. But it produced no results. I have system sounds but that is it. I was up till 12:30 AM CST trying to do a fix. I am back at it this morning.
 
Download "Unknown Device Identifier"
http://www.zhangduo.com/UnknownDeviceIdentifier.exe
Extract it, into its own folder

Then right click on this link, and select Save As
http://members.datafast.net.au/dft0802/downloads/pcidevs.txt

Save the txt file to the new folder created with "Unknown Device Identifier" Overwriting the old txt file


Now at last open the folder, and double click on: UnknownDevices.exe
Once all the info is displayed (it can take up to 30secs)
Select List (on the program toolbar) -> Save to file -> Save

Then attach that new DeviceList.txt file as an attachment to a new reply


By the way LookinAround do you have an easier alternative to doing all of the above?
 
There are many "flavors" of the dv6700 series notebook (just a fraction of them listed below. HP tells me 365 matches!!)

=> Did you let HP scan for your EXACT model?
=> Or check the tag (should be on bottom of notebook) for EXACT model
=> Please post your EXACT model so to be certain am looking at correct drivers for the EXACT model

Code:
» HP Pavilion dv6700 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC
» HP Pavilion dv6700ef Entertainment Notebook PC
» HP Pavilion dv6700t CTO Entertainment Notebook PC
» HP Pavilion dv6700z CTO Entertainment Notebook PC
» HP Pavilion dv6701au Entertainment Notebook PC
» HP Pavilion dv6701ax Entertainment Notebook PC
» HP Pavilion dv6701ca Entertainment Notebook PC
» HP Pavilion dv6701tu Entertainment Notebook PC
» HP Pavilion dv6701tx Entertainment Notebook PC
» HP Pavilion dv6701us Entertainment Notebook PC
» HP Pavilion dv6701vx Entertainment Notebook PC
» HP Pavilion dv6702au Entertainment Notebook PC
» HP Pavilion dv6702ax Entertainment Notebook PC
» HP Pavilion dv6702tu Entertainment Notebook PC
» HP Pavilion dv6702tx Entertainment Notebook PC
» HP Pavilion dv6702vx Entertainment Notebook PC
» HP Pavilion dv6702xx Entertainment Notebook PC

/* EDIT */
(Also to answer question i just noticed your question in prior post)
  • Kimsland: Yes, i have another method.
  • genekle For now, i can do the work for you to try identify device and find the driver (but need to be certain of your dv6700 model per above)
  • Kimsland: You're actually just a bit ahead of me ;) as i planned to post some type of Driver Overview on this topic (as a follow-up to my more recent post that focused on identifying webcam devices and drivers)
  • The Overview will be the "simple subset" of steps Windows goes through in finding drivers itself (the whole process itself can be incredibly gnarly. And for that matter i've only figured out parts - not all - of the gnarly steps myself, so far to date)
 
Yes, I did it is a HP Pavilion dv6809wm Entertainment Notebook PC. There are no drivers for sound. I just rechecked just to be sure.

OK. I will look at HP Pavilion dv6809wm Entertainment Notebook but to be certain when you say you "looked" at HP Pavilion dv6809wm
=> Did you verify that model is also indicated by the tag on the bottom of the laptop?
=> Or HP website scanned your computer and reported that model number?
=> Or that's what you looked at based on your recollection of the model number?
 
HP website and I ck'ed the bottom to verify it.

sorry about all the trouble, I am very very novice at this, all I know I have tought myself. For 53 yrs old I am doing pretty good.
