Vista Audio Issue Addressed by HP

[brianstretch]

No, dv9000z series. I guess you have a different audio chip? Regardless, if AMD users got an update you should soon.

Oh, you're running 64-bit Vista. I'm running 32-bit. That's probably it. I'd expect a 64-bit driver update to lag a little behind 32-bit.

Can you give us the Audio driver details from device manager? What is the release date of the driver? I'm curious to see if these are brand new drivers or if they just loaded the XP drivers

thanks

I'm not sure if this was addressed to me ... but my driver date is 6.2006, so they aren't new. However, some of the driver files (.dlls) have a description that they are for Vista RTM.

I'm bought my laptop 1125$ with working money [My Country 1125us It's not easy to fine,it's mean a full salary for a 4-6 month and I'm must share it to use in daily life,it's long time to keep it !] and I'm think I'm should be take a good experience to use and good support for any problem

Not SOLUTION TO FIX IT MYSELF and it's still have problem with incomplete feature
But,It's SHOULD HAVE A FIX DRIVER RELEASE BY QUICKLY BEFORE VISTA RTM OUT IN DECEMBER

i can tolerate it cuz i dont use vista. HP works very well with XP. if theyre dont have it now, they probabally wont make it. if u want to use vista, dont buy HP cuz its alot of problems

Although the drivers for the Waikiki chipset are listed for XP, we were able to make them work in the Vista environment. This is just a workaround until the official driver is available.

I am watching this post closely and would like to get feedback from people who have done the workaround. If anyone out there had Vista audio problems, did this post help you? Did you run into any problems?

If you did, please let me know:
1. Exact Model number of your Pavilion and Presario (for example DV2120US, not DV2000)
2. Version of Vista
3. Detailed description of problem, especially any error messages you got

Anna -- HP total Care

I have a HP Pavillion dv2116ea and Vista Premium. The problem I have is that the sound on the speakers works well, but when I connect my headphones the speakers don't turn off, nor do I get a headphones icon in the control panel > sound > playback devices. I've been looking all over to fix this and tried a lot of drivers (including the ones you posted, Anna), but it doesn't work. My codec is Waikiki. Help me!

Hi,

I have HP Pavilion dv5184ea and chipset dv_5047. I tried to install those drivers but the problem persists. "Driver Installation Falied:Could not find the MEDIA device for this driver."

I have Vista 32-bit.

Can anyone help me?

HP is somewhat working closely with Microsoft. Based on the current feedback from Microsoft, HP needs to and must release a 3rd party driver from Conexant for everything to work (audio device).

And HP really take care all customer to ship our product? and HP are still develop waikiki driver to fix this in vista?
As far as I can tell, the answer is NO from my recent filed BBB complaint. HP is apparently not responsible for any devices from Conexant. HP even made a statement: HP is not a software company (on the BBB rebuttal response).

nc_dv2125nr - thanks for the reply - my drivers say 6/2006 on it too - wow i'm very curious to see if your drivers are really working, can you check and make sure that:

1. you can mute/unmutte your sound card fine
2. headphone plugin mutes your speakers
3. your SPDIF output works as digital and not analog
a. put in a DVD with dolby digital sound (pretty much any dvd)
b. plug your spdif output to a digital receiver
c. see if you get any audio out (more specifically see if you get dolby digital audio out)

all these things above don't work for me on the current vista driver

Also, what is the driver version?

thanks!

I am using a Pavilion dv5234us and the waikiki version, and after following your directions, I get the error message "Driver Installation Failed: Could not find the MEDIA device for this driver. " when installing the second download. I still don't have sound. I'm using Vista 32

Grab the XP driver for your specific notebook model off of HP's website, and try installing that. It should work. The Conexant drivers always pop up a MEDIA error if you use one for the incorrect hardware.
