Laptop Info:
HP Pavillion ZX5000
Mobility Radeon 9600
Windows XP
I now updated to Windows Vista, and the driver on HP’s site( ADI 1981B Audio Driver) will only work with XP, so I did some google’ing and I was pointed to the Realtek AC97 Audio Driver for Vista, I downloaded and installed it, but now when I check device manager I receive Error 10 - Device Failed to start.
Am I even using the correct driver, if not what should I be using, and if it is correct how do I get rid of error 10?
No audio sucks
