Lvivkse - You mind if I ask what made you return your envy 15? I tried to PM you but I cant.

Too big to lug around? Idk how everyone complains about carrying around a 17" laptop. My first laptop was a 17" and i never had any gripe carrying it around even without a bag. Sounds like you need a 14 or 15" then. /rant.

• Updated IDT High Definition Audio driver, version 6.10.6388.0.
• Updated IDT High Definition Audio driver, version 6.10.6393.0.
• Removed BIOS version F.08 for ENVY 15-3XXX.

those new idt drivers dont work with my envy 15 3040nr I would suggest sticking with the previous drivers.

I did get the 15 inch. that's why i was saying i wish i got the 17, but happy i didn't because of the weight and size. I do I.T so I lug it around more than the average person.

Hey everyone, been lurking a while but I must say that I'm quite impressed with the community here and with the Envy 15-3040nr in its entirety.

OP, thanks for posting the updated drivers and such. I've a question about the BIOS as I've looked around and haven't found any discussions so could you explain why it was removed? Should I revert back to F.07? While I'm mentioning the BIOS, I'd like to find out if there are any advanced features that can be accessed or even a way to modify the BIOS to access them.

I had issue with the latest IDT Audio drivers as well - particularly 6.10.6393.0 which would allow me to playback audio through the headphones, but not the speakers.
I've not had issue with 6.10.6388.0 though - so far so great!

I also understand that the ATI drivers can be installed ontop of the HP drivers which is cool if we want to stay up to date and while I've ATI driver version 8.882.2.3000 installed I haven't been able to get them updated the latest 12.4 drivers.



Edit: Anyone looking to install ATI 12.4 drivers can get the installation package here: http://www2.ati.com/DRIVERS/mobile/1..._64_dd_ccc.exe
I installed the HP driver package (sp54916) and then installed 12.4 afterwards and everything works well now.

Cheers


Edit #2: Did some speed tests on 12.4 and I have to say that it was painfully slow. I deleted the device driver from device manager, installed the HP drivers and rebooted before installing 12.3 and performance looks to have stabilized. Both drivers indicated the card as being a 6700 and the clocks haven't changed from the stock 600/800

If anyone is interested, here's the link to 12.3 from ATIs website: http://www2.ati.com/DRIVERS/mobile/1..._64_dd_ccc.exe
