I have tried your option but still no sound in my laptop.If i did remove the drivers from the device manager, it alerts found new hardware on the next reboot.
I first uninstalled the adi sound max driver from control panel, add remove programs and then uninstalled the possible drivers from device manager. Some does not show the uninstall options like audio codec legacy audio, legacy video drivers. Then i installed the chip set driver . Rebooted and then installed the UAA driver and reboot, then installed the adimax sound driver again. But still no sound.
I also wish to pinpoint that while installing the adimax i was alerted to install the bluetooth exe from exe file. I do not know what this alert meant. When i first installed the UAA driver, on reboot, it shows new hardware found and asked to me show the file for download. I dismissed it. and then freshly installed the adi max sound driver from HP site. I get error: unable to start blue tooth stack services? What this error means?
Then i went to dxdiag and then tried sound test there. It showed error at step 19, hresult=OX00000000. I do not know where i am going wrong.
Since the hardware wizard alerts, i suppose the hard ware is being recognised, that is the sound card. The drivers are the area to look in to, I think. Please what next I have to do to get the sound back.
This is the link from where i downloaded the drivers.
http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/sit...4892.199480143Should i update all the drivers to get the sound? Of is it enough if i do the above drivers?
Moreover, i have two sound tabs in my dxdiag . It shows one as adi sound max and the other as bluetooth audio. the file is shown in the second tab as btaudio.sys.
Does that means that for windows sound, blue tooth is essential and for other sounds the adi sound max drivers?
What is adimax integrated audio drivers? Pl some one help me to get back the sound.
Note: if the window recognises, may i presume that my hardware is found and software drivers are the real problems?
