Sound Card Driver

Good morning!

I just re-installed my Pavilion 752n, but I cannot find the drivers for
the sound card.

I looked on the HP support site, everywhere on the web, but I cannot
find anything.

Anybody can tell me what driver I can download? I lost my restore cds.

Thank you!

The product specs for the Pavilion 752n state "AC97 Audio", which is almost as
useless as the absence of drivers on the HP web site. You will need to open up
the chassis and identify the audio chip. On most modern P4 motherboards, the
audio chip is not too far from the external audio connectors. ADI (Analog
Devices) audio chips are popular nowadays. Once you've determined the chipset
model (e.g. ADInnnn), google for it and download the drivers either from
drivers.com or from the chipset manufacturer's web site.

Elsewhere on the HP web site, the motherboard for the 752n is identified as an
Asus P4G-LA with "AC'97 CODEC device ADI1981A." The audio chip is ADI1981A.
The Asus web site may also have the AC97 drivers for the ADI1981A, but it will
NOT have detailed info about the P4G-LA. Asus made the board special for HP
under contract, and, of course, defers all support issues to HP, hence the
absence of info on the Asus web site.

HP's on-line support for its Pavilion product line is below sub-standard. It is
completely and totally incompetent... Ben Myers

You can also try running Everest home edition to id the chipset:

I just had to totally redo my Pavilion 725n. I found the software you are
looking for at:

Good luck. I did a clean install of Windows XP because my restore disks
were corrupt, but now my machine is running better than ever.
