Presario V3000 and windows 7 drivers (audio)

Hi there,

Im very new to this whole upgrade stuff

a mate (who knows computers) upgraded my Compaq Presario V3000 to windows 7, since i got it back its working a treat how ever i cant seem to get my mic working or the audio through my front earphone jack.

I have tried a few drivers, the HP site does not support drivers for this laptop with windows 7.

its the 64 bit version and yes my pc is also 64bit.

I have been through all the settings in device manager and it looks fine.

There are no little yellow triangles, under sounds video and game controls is
a pic of a speaker and hi definition audio device... so to me looks normal.

I have been through all the settings on my pc, but normally if i click on the speaker on my task bar it opens the volume control with a speaker level, mic level, headphones level etc, now its just levels for the laptop inbuilt speakers and something called sound systems ( no matter what i try and can not get anything out of setting the sound systems tab as the default so no idea what that is)

If any one has any ideas on how to get my headphone jack to waken and produce noise or my mic to open and do its job please let me know.

p.s my mate that installed this software has moved away as of the day after install and is unavailable for further assistance at this time.
Thanks in advance.
