HP Pavilion DV6701AU Windows 8 Drivers

Hello,
I have a HP Pavilion dv6701au Notebook which, when purchased came with the default Windows Vista operating system in it and an Altec Lansing speaker.
A few months back i upgraded my operating system from Windows Vista to Windows 8 Pro. Everything was running smoothly for a few months but now suddenly the audio sound has stopped. The volume icon on the taskbar has a red cross over it and gives a messgae " No Audio Output device is installed "  .
Sometimes the sound works automatically and after a restart it would again stop working.
It does not show any drivers installed in the device manager either.
I have tried downloading the drivers but Windows 8 support site does not show a choice of windows 8 operating system for my pavilion dv6701au, it only gives the option of vista32bit and vista64bit, on their support site.
I tried installing many other sound drivers and it says " no driver was supported in the driver package "  and sometimes it says " No hardware detected " 
Now what do i do get the sound working.
Please ask me any more details you may need.
Please help.

Hi,
Your machine can have one of the following sound chips:
Conexant High-Definition SmartAMC Audio Chip
Realtek High-Definition Audio chip
Please check Hardware id to see what is it. The following link shows you how:

  • Pavilion dm4 windows 7 idt high definition audio codec v 6.10.6324 distorted audio playback

    Suspect Windows 'pushed update' changed original IDT High Defition Audio CODEC becasue original worked fine since HP Pavilion dm4/Windows 7 was purchased. Sound plays, but periodically buzzes and is distorted. Have tried both rolling back driver and installing your Support driver sp57966.exe with BIOS load. Still no change, same distorted sound both times. Is there a way to return to original CODEC?

    Hi,
    Have you tried using Recovery Manager to reinstall your original IDT Audio Driver - the procedure for using recovery manager to reinstall Software and Drivers is detailed in the relevant document on the link below.

  • Ipad mini 32 and can't connect to my HP Pavilion DM1 windows 8 via bluetooth

    Just got a new Ipad mini 32 and can't connect to my HP Pavilion DM1 windows 8 via bluetooth. I get to the stage where you have to confirm on both systems the generated code and then it goes in error. Not supported. Any clue ?

    Unless you have an iOS app that uses BT for a specific purpose, such as file transfer, BT on the iPad alone, as stated, does not support it.

  • Where are the Windows Drivers?

    Hi,
    When I run Bootcamp 2.0 And try to partition the drive for Vista bootcamps says..."After you have installed and set up windows, insert your Mac OS X Leopard install disc to install additional drivers and other software for windows."
    So I went looking on my install discs. I cant figure out where these Windows drivers are. Anyone know?

    You can also find the drivers in the boot camp download page. Depending on your flavor of Windows (32bit or 64bit), you'll download different updates for Boot Camp 2.1.
    Go here - http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    On the upper right corner of the screen you will see the Software Updates section. Click on the appropriate link to download the file you need. The files that you download are Windows executables and should only be downloaded in Windows. They can also be run directly from the website, but clicking the Run button (instead of Save) after you click the appropriate download link.
    Hope that helps!

  • Oh my lord, where can I get windows drivers for Macbook Pro?....

    Does Apple really not have any place that I can download Windows drivers for the hardware in my August 2010 Macbook Pro?!?  I am trying to use windows through bootcamp, and I am having tons of trouble.  I know there are supposed to be drivers in the OSX DVD that came with my computer, but that is all the way back in Maryland and I go to school in Tennessee.
    <rant> Sorry if I seem irritated.  I just got over a total hard drive crash in this computer that isn't even 2 years old.  I have drives that are almost 10 years old in my PC desktop..  The drive that came stock with my Macbook pro was a total piece of crap in comparison to the cheapest notebook drives at Best Buy.  Really Apple?? 5400 RPM 8mb Cache Hitachi drive?? *Pukes in mouth* </rant>

    Sorry for the rant.  This is what happens everytime I have tried.  I actually have a booting Windows 7 partition on here already but it is barely running on the stock/generic windows drivers that are just there to get the OS through install. 
    I have an OSX 10.6 disk, but it is 10.6.0, and I wasn't even able to make that boot into the Mac installer when I installed OSX on the new hard drive.  I had to run my Macbook as a Firewire disk plugged into a Mac Pro and install it from there and update to 10.6.8.  I think this was because the 10.6.0 install disk doesn't have drivers for my 2010 revision of the Macbook Pro.  I doubt that the 10.6.0 disk has the right Windows drivers if it doesn't even have the right Mac drivers.

  • Windows drivers on Snow Leopard to use TV tuner stick.

    While I know that there are ways to run a windows app on a mac through vmware and crossover, is there any way I can use a hardware (ENTER USB TV Tuner Stick with a 'Xceive XC2028 silicon tuner' chip) which only has windows drivers on a mac?
    Neerav

    i found one opens source software call MythTV which supports my chip but the installation is super complex.
    i've a set top box which has a tv out and a composite video out. i use the composite video out to watch on my lcd tv. and the tv out is directed to the tv tuner. this tv out is just an extra split of the tv in that my router gets, just incase someone wants both the signals.
    is there any way i can make my mac read a composite signal and record it? i've usb 2.0 and firewire 800 port on my mac. that way i can just leave the set top box on and when i want the mac will just record the on going channel for the duration i mention.
    please advice.

  • Apple Windows drivers on USB, but Windows says I need to format USB to use it

    I set up a 16GB USB drive as my Mountain Lion install disk via the Mountain Lion Installer app.   I ran BootCamp and had it download and put the Windows drivers also onto the USB stick.
    Installed Windows and got to the part where it says I have no drivers.
    So when I now put in the USB drive to install the drivers, Windows is saying "You need to format the disk in drive E: before you can use it.  Do you want to format it?"    ...but that's where the drivers are.
    How was the USB stick formatted originally?  I don't know, presumably with whatever the default from Disk Utility was when I wiped it.
    Ay suggestions? 
    (e.g....reformat the USB with Windows, reboot into OS X (assuming that works), then have Boot Camp Assistant re-put the Windows drivers on the USB, then reboot into Windows, etc?   Trying that now.)
    Thanks.

    The drive must be formatted as FAT32, you can do that on Windows or OSX. Then put the drivers back on it, boot to Windows and install them.

  • Cannot connect my Officejet 8500 a909a to my HP Pavilion dv7 Windows 7 64-bit

    I have never been able to setup my Officejet 8500 A909a printer using my HP Pavilion dv7 Windows 7 Home Premiun notebook PC. After enumerable attempts I gave up and just used a thumb drive to transfer my printing from my notebook to my old tower PC and printed it from there. Well, my tower died and I really need to be able to print and scan from my notebook. I installed/uninstalled/reinstalled the latest printer driver with no liuck. I have also tried using the HP Print and Scan Doctor. It tells me I don't have all the needed software but when I click on Install, it fails too. Any suggestions?

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @michaeldq 
    I read your post about the issues you've had with installing your Officejet 8500 A909a printer on your Windows 7 system. I understand it fails however, could you send me a screen shot or more information about the failure? You may see a Fatal Error message and a code when you look at the error logs.
    In the meantime, you can try a Clean Boot, restart the PC, temporarily disable any Firewalls and/or Anti-Virus' you have running.
    Try running the installation again. Go back into the Clean Boot options to enable the start up programs again.
    Please keep me posted on the results and info!
    Thank you
