Realtek ac97 speakers not working

It should. That is why I sent the link. All you can do is try.

OK. Thanks, I'll try tonight. Should I delete the device first and uninstall the current driver?

so the xp driver didn't work. Is it possible to downgrade this machine to windows xp?

Read this and see if it might also apply to your laptop

Hi:

Those ID's confirm that your notebook has the Conexant AC-Link audio chip.

OK...here is what I did. A little detective work...

I like to use the free 7-zip file utility to extract the component files from the exe.

When I extracted the files from the driver that is posted by HP for your model that I linked you to above, here is the hardware ID for the Conexant Audio chip the driver supports.

[Conexant]
%*WDM_AMCAUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_AMCAUD,PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_266E

As you can see, this driver supports a different Conexant audio chip than the one in your notebook, because the hardware ID you posted is PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370

So, I googled the hardware ID and found several drivers that had the main ID of PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370, but they had a different &SUBSYS number.

I had to download and extract the files from a few of them before I finally found one that matched the exact hardware ID as yours which is PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_3091103C

Please see if this one works...
