Michael Marley Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 After a quick search on Google, I was not able to turn up data on what type of sound chip is installed in your laptop. If you post the Vendor and Device IDs, as can be viewed in the Properties window of the Device Manager. Just open the Device Manager, double click your Sound Chip, then select the Details tab. In the Property drop-down box, select Hardware IDs and post the data you see there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Marley Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 If I know the Vendor and Device IDs of your soundcard, I can tell you what your soundcard's manufacturer is, and then hopefully help you find a driver. The Vendor and Device IDs should be in the format of: HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_76A0&SUBSYS_10280228 (These are the numbers for the SigmaTel audio chip in my PC.)

®®® Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Is it possible that you don"t have Service Pack 3 installed? It comes with HD audio support. Afterwards you should be able to tell the DEV_ID of the device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
