    The newer driver IDT High Definition Audio Codec driver version 6.10.6269.0 seems not compatible with my laptop DV3-2123tx. When I install it, I can't play the music anymore. Maybe it's not compatible with DV3 series. And when back to the 6.10.6255.0, everything is ok. Anyway, thanks for your updating. I'm a chinese, I found here is a really good place to share.

    Could you share your IDT audio device's hardware ID? That way, I can better verify which of these drivers are compatible.

    You can find this information in the Details tab of the device, within the Device Manager.

    This driver thread is for dv3t and Compaq-equivalent models. This thread is not entirely compatible with the dv3500 but you should be able to use most of the drivers provided here. :)

    Thanks for your hardware IDs! Looking at the driver INF though, and it looks like this driver should be compatible with your notebooks :confused:

    pvp26, your entry is:

    Code:
    %ST.DeviceDesc%=STHDA,HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_111D&DEV_76B2&SUBSYS_103C1505
    ptmails, your entry is:

    Code:
    %ST.DeviceDesc%=STHDA,HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_111D&DEV_7608&SUBSYS_103C306D
    The REV section of the string should not matter.

    See if you guys can try installing this INF through the Device Manager - Update Driver wizard. If that doesn't work, you can always go back to version 6255 (that's why I added the Previous Releases :)).

    I would appreciate it if others add their experiences with this driver too. :D

    Here are some new updates to the first post. Make sure you uninstall all previous versions of the ATI or NVIDIA graphics driver prior to installing the new version.

    Also note that the new NVIDIA graphics driver is from Microsoft Update; read the Important Information section for more details on installation.

    Finally, a new IDT High Definition Audio driver is available that must be installed through the Update Driver wizard within Device Manager. Hopefully these drivers will solve any incompatibility issues if you had encountered them.

    • Updated MediaSmart SmartMenu to version 2.1.1.14 (2.10 D) for Windows Vista.
    • Updated MediaSmart Webcam to version 3.1.3521 (3.1 C2) for Windows 7 (thanks lovegl).
    • Updated ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4550 driver to version 8.713.0.0 (thanks lovegl).

    04/27/2010
    • Updated NVIDIA GeForce graphics driver to version 8.17.11.9745 (197.45).

    I'll take a look and update shortly. :)

    BTW, where did you find the new Intel Chipset Software package (version 9.1.1.1027) that you mentioned? (I was not able to find it at the Intel Download Center)

    no one can find intel chipset 1027 at intel.com. It's either a bogus package that has gained immorality on the 'net or it's a customer-specific fix pack that someone leaked.

    either way, it's probably not official and 'unwise' to further distribute.

    I will not be posting driver packages from unofficial sources (like from the link above). I also will not be posting drivers that are not WHQL certified.

    There seems to be problems with the installation of these new IDT audio device drivers (I tried to personally get it to work, but with no success). As a result, I had taken them off of the first post.

    Looking at the INF, the 197.45 drivers do support the GeForce G 105M -- did you follow my additional instructions? Make sure you delete the nv_disp.inf file prior to running setup.exe.

    A quick update for those who have LightScribe optical drives. :)

    05/02/2010
    • Updated LightScribe System Software to version 1.18.14.1 (thanks programmer_pfa and sr21).

    I am tentatively thinking about adding Intel-based HP Pavilion dv3-4000 notebook support to this driver thread (note that this is not out yet! :D) and adding Intel-based dm3 support. What do you guys think? If you want to see support happen, should it be here in this thread or spun off into a new driver thread? Please let me know -- I appreciate all the feedback that I can get!

    One user so far -- I am also looking into supporting the next generation of notebooks so if there's not enough support for the dm3t, I'll have to put this on the back-burner. :)

    05/13/2010
    • Updated IDT High Definition Audio Codec driver to version 6.10.6276.0.

    There are a lot of updates that need to be posted and I'll try to get them up as soon as I can. This includes a new Synaptics TouchPad driver, a new Intel WiFi Link driver, and a new Atheros wireless LAN driver. :)

    ill keep em separate if the drivers for the new notebooks cannot be used on current dv3/cq-35 notebooks...

    just my 2 cents... :D

    edit-
    the new dv3-4000 series seems completely different. different chipset for i3,5,7.
    ati graphics. intel wifi link 1000. diff card reader etc etc.

    but still usb 2.0...i guess ill get a new one when they come with usb 3.0 :D

    Past few updates listed below -- I apologize for the rather late update. MediaSmart 4 is looking as if MVP had been split into separate components...I have tried to accommodate for this the best I could. :)

    • Updated NVIDIA graphics driver to version 8.17.11.9805 (198.05).

    No driver should actually be needed for the touch controls to work. But for good measure, you should install the HP Quick Launch Buttons as well as the IDT audio driver so that the mute button will change color correctly.

    • Updated NVIDIA graphics driver to version 8.17.12.5896 (258.96).

    07/22/2010
    • Updated download links to Synaptics TouchPad driver version 15.0.17.4.

    I've updated the links to the Synaptics TouchPad driver because of a potential installer issue where the x86 version of setup launches instead of the x64 version, on x64-based systems. Hopefully these new links will fix this problem.
