    I have a HP Pavillion (dv9535nr) and replaced the Vista OS with Windows XP.

    I have everything working except the Internal Microphones. XP does not see the hardware (just like it does not see the LAN until a driver is loaded).

    Does anyone have an Internal Microphone XP Driver for the HP Pavillion?

    Hello George, I have the same laptop and I want to change over to XP as well. Can you provide me with some info as where you got all of the other drivers for this laptop for XP? HP support and the drivers at the site are dismal. Any help is appreciated.

    There are no drivers for the microphones, only a driver for the sound card. Once your soundcard is detected your microphone should work... unless its muted.

    You are correct in the basic analog world..... however in this case on this particular laptop your answer does not hold water and goes deeper than you suspect. It requires software for it to work. I have an HP9535nr that I have installed 2 Hitachi 7K200-200 drives and XP pro. HP in their limited wisdom does not offer all of the drivers for XP for this model ..... and yes I have finally got EVERYTHING working properly..... including the microphone . The TV tuner card included with this package works great! I would like to thank all of the members at this site that assisted me with this.
    I wanted to put XP in this unit as Vista is bloated and requires TOO much of everything. EXAMPLE: XP can run well and have only 32 processes running (with a 3rd party firewall and an active anti-virus) While Vista needs at least 46 processes running and that does not even put you online with an anti-virus) It is a resource pig that will have all of the bugs ironed out of it in 5 years.... just in time for M$'s new operating system to come out. After all ... That is part of the business model that they have.
