HP compaq nx9110 sound problem

[nima]

Hi all,

I have a HP compaq nx9110 and it OS was XP.
I installed windows 7 Ultimate, but I haven't sound now. (realtek ac97)

I downloaded sound driver from here but it didn't work.

Can any one help me?

Thanks,
Nima

nima, welcome to the forums.

The problem with that Realtek driver is that according to here,

your laptop has the Soundmax audio on it, not Realtek. Also looking at the Compaq download page for it it is the 1981B chip on it,

with the last driver for it from way back in 2004 for XP. I would start with trying the above XP driver. It may take running the installer in compatibility mode,
