Just a question:
Has anyone found decent drivers compatible with Win8, that work, for the IDT high definition audio on HP pavilion DV7 laptops?

Thanks

    That's basically it.
Find your hardware id string for it in device manager then put it in this website. Use the one with unique subsys string, of the 4. Leave out the revision part. Usually 2nd string down from top.

(Properties | Details tab | Change dropdown to say Hardware ids)

The larger drivers with the same date as smaller are x64. Smaller are x86.

Never expected to work this well.
Thanks GMan for the great solutions.

See the procedure in the posts above first. That seems to be the best solution for LATEST drivers.

We both have HP's and if the MS catalog doesn't have any drivers (brand new models), then you'll have to go to HP's site.

Thanks for the response; but I already downloaded the drivers both from ms catalog (didn't work); from HP too and still didn't work.
Funny enough the system shows signs of producing sound (drivers successfully installed, volume control sliding up and down, and even audio meter reading whenever I'm playing any file.) And yet, NO SOUND COMING OUT, neither from the speaker nor thru earpiece.

I'm pretty sure my speaker/ear-phone jacks are working fine: they were working in win 7 right up to the time I switched to win 8.

HP is rapidly updating their site with Windows 8 drivers. Last night, I was able to pull down quite a few for my ProBook 4430s. With regards to IDT specifically, the Windows 7 driver works just fine - I was using that until HP updated their library.

Did you found something specific following post 2?
You need to install manually from device manager then.

Something was available and it worked directly!

Try the hp site as Kebero said, maybe something new is released or try Win7 drivers. That's all.

No new updates for hp 620; still the same old drivers for win 7. Installed but no sound.

You did well. That means no specific drivers were found.

What pc do you have? x64 or x86? I'll have a look on HP-site.
Is that a notebook?

Thanks,
HP 620 notebook (energy star).
x64

You'll HAVE to use the Win7 driver:
HP 620 Notebook PC*-* Download drivers and software - HP Business Support Center
version: 6.10.6300.0
Then open and extract the contents of the exe you downloaded with 7-Zip. Manually install from Device Manager.
This is in case the installer fails or is incompatible (problems) with Win8.

This is what you need:
driver-extract.png

Extract all that stuff to a folder, let's say on the desktop and go to Device Manager and do a "update driver" in the sound section:
update-driver.png
Browse to this folder and install driver.

Even on Win8, it should detect and use a Vista or Win7 driver pretty well.

Good Luck
Nothing more to add here.

Didn't work either; I guess hardware issues.
No sound, videos playing in slow-motion.

I've simply gone back to win7 --- everything is working fine

Thanks for your attention.

Too bad it didn't worked.:( Some pc models are luckier than others I guess.
If MS and HP didn't provided any newer drivers, then yes, use Win7.

Try this. The only difference from the method, described there, is that GlobalSettings could be under the one of 000x keys. I had 0005. After set of EnableDynamicDevices to 0 I've got two High Defintion Audio Devices (headphones and built-in speakers). But sound works now properly without disappearing...

P.s: I mentioned standard Windows 8 drivers for IDT sound, not Windows 7.
