Audio Driver for Acer TravelMate 4220

[maziak]

Hi There

I installed Windows 7 on my laptop, only to discover that there is no sound driver for it. Is there any workaround and when / would / will there ever be a windows7 compatible audio driver for the Acer TravelMate 4220?

I think I installed windows 7 as the regular 32 bit (vs 64 bit) version

Help please!

Cheers
Tracy

Welcome!

Can you install the XP driver in compatibility mode?

If you can track down a Vista compatible audio driver, it may work with Windows 7 (no promises, but sometimes Vista drivers do the trick).

Good Luck!

Driver in XP mode

This worked for me also. Install the driver listed above in XP mode.
