note to flavallee: if you're still out there and have a Win7 computer, try this 9205 HDA driver on there and post your results
erpster4:
I decided yesterday to try the 6.0.9025.1 drivers in my PC's which have ALC3861 or ALC3220 audio.
They work fine in both Windows 7 and Windows 10.

WHQL for 32bit/64bit Win7 & Win10; generic 9107 HDA driver was released several months late by evga as nobody else had the generic 9107 HDA version at that time - v6.0.9107.1 HDA FF00 generic driver also available from AAEON in late summer 2021 as well
edited 12/18/2021 - I need to point out that any HDA drivers from 8862 onward that are SHA-2 signed will require either the KB3033929 or KB4474419 update installed (for those who are doing clean Win7 SP1 installs - include either KB3033929 or KB4474419) as these drivers only work properly with either the KB3033929, KB3125574 or KB4474419 update
edited 2nd time 1/25/2022 to add more driver versions
edited 3rd time 2/21/2022 to add the 9159 version

that's great.
but be sure to have KB3033929, KB3125574 or KB4474419 SHA2 update installed on your Win7 SP1 system as I found out the recent 9205 HDA drivers only work correctly with Win7's "SHA2" support updates like KB3033929 or KB4474419
did not expect this one but it's a new version

WHQL for Windows from Win7 to Win10
another reminder - recent HDA drivers require any Win7 SHA-2 (SHA256) update such as KB3033929 or KB4474419 for the latest HDA drivers to function correctly

Confirmed this update v6.0.9239.1 HDA FF0 (March 2022) installs and works seamlessly with Win7 - with both my i5-8265u and i5-10210u setups. This updated driver reportedly works in Win7, 8, 8,1, 10, 11. Wonderful.
Would that other OEM's would do the same for their drivers ...

hi v1jayThank you @erpster4 for your valuable inputs.
EDIT: Installation went smooth and it is working flawlessly on Windows 7 x64... Once again thanks...
perhaps try this v6.0.9066.1 FF06 x64 Dell HDA driver from Microsoft (direct link to the 9066 hda ff06 x64 cab download from ms). even though it is non-generic and only works with specific Dell PCs, it does have the hdxsgma4.inf file along with the bundled maxxaudio app and appears to be whql'ed for x64 win7 & win10
