[Drivers] HP dv6-3XXX / dv7-4XXX / ENVY 17-1XXX (INTEL)

Your hardware ID subsys is not supported in driver version 1.3.64.76.

Quick googling revealed that at least this driver supports your hardware ID.

03/13/2008, 1.3.64.41

;******** AVerMedia A317_II ***
%AVer.DeviceDesc03% = AVer_A317_II.NTamd64 , PCI\VEN_1131&DEV_7160&SUBSYS_10551461 ; A317 (II)

Hope this helps. Happy hunting...

 

Best to follow the thread I posted before....I checked the driver and it is supported.

1.3.64.76

2=A317,PCI\VEN_1131&DEV_7160&SUBSYS_10551461,A316A317_Win7Logo_Drv_V13x76_Install_Silent_HP_Log3_V4.exe

 

A tech support guy from Aver was nice, and even though they don't support OEM products, he sent me 1.3.64.80 but it still didn't work. I guess I'll try again in the appropriate thread. I have found a couple easy ways to downgrade windows without formatting. Considering it but still can't believe there's no driver. I will also search for the 1.3.64.41 driver because it can't hurt to try.

 

and thus we see the major problem with using other OEM (Acer, Asus, Dell, etc) drivers on HP hardware.

Often, the .inf files that define hardware are different on the 'other' driver releases. It's a potential nightmare (and quite possibly a violation of multiple EULAs) to merge a set of differing .inf files to 'force' a non-HP driver release to work properly on HP hardware.

Sometimes it's not just the .inf files that are customized. The .cat and .sys files are frequently customized for specific hardware. Even if the file names, rev levels, and date/time stamps are the same, the internals of the files are built for just about anything other than HP hardware.

In my mind, the only driver packages that should be listed here are first of all from HP, then from the component makers (Atheros, Intel, Microsoft, Broadcom, Realtek, etc).

Grabbing convenient driver packages from Dell, Acer, etc, etc, while interesting and possibly useful as pointers towards the correct/newer releases, are more trouble than the incremental .Dot release versions they represent. If it takes surgery to force a driver package to load on a machine, chances are there are other problems with it that make it useless to the average user.

It's not about who can find the greatest number of drivers. It's about posting correct, reliable, and easy to use driver releases.

 

even from back in the day with windows NT, things were like that ... special driver signing or requirements. it's supposed to enhance the stability of the platform, but with a little house cleaning i can keep a home premium installation just as stable.

fyi, i recommend you try clonezilla to mirror your drive to an external or second HDD as a backup. my windows install is 35 GB and it compresses to 15 GB when backed up. takes 10 mins. restore is the reverse and takes the same time.

you only need to do it once you've found your optimum install. a little piece of mind that can save you hours installing everything manually later on ...

 

A minor BIOS update for dv6 Gen3 and dv7 Gen4 available -- F.12 REV: A

softpaq: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp50001-50500/sp50110.exe

 

Finally had the chance out of my busy schedule to update the first post. Includes the recent BIOS release for the current dv6 and dv7 generation.

09/06/2010

• Updated Broadcom 2070 Bluetooth driver package to version 6.3.0.6300 (thanks Z3tor).

09/14/2010

• Updated BIOS for dv6-3xxx and dv7-4xxx to version F.12 A.
• Updated MediaSmart DVD for Windows 7 to version 4.1.4229 (4.1 C1).
• Updated MediaSmart Photo for Windows 7 to version 4.1.4319 (4.1 C1).
• Updated MediaSmart Live TV for Windows 7 to version 3.1.3003 (3.1 C3).
• Updated MediaSmart SmartMenu for Windows 7 to version 3.1.1.12 (3.2 B1).

 

just wondering ... you show the mediasmart dvd for win 7 as updated but the hp support drivers list shows the latest is still the version from 4/28 (4.0.3822) ... are they not listing the latest drivers on their main support site ?

 

In consumer products, HP updates their support site links slowly though new updates are uploaded to ftp server.

 

Hi.Thank you a thousand times for your great efforts.My problem is:

I want to encode my personal files using my fingerprint reader.My notebook model is HP-dv6 3046st.My HP SimplePass Identity Protection version is 5.00.140a.

I have 2 options:

1.I can install r-a-p-i-d-s-h-a-r-e.com but, according to what I've read after this installation the fingerprint light doesn'nt work at all.Are there any updated versions of that?

2.I can install Validity Fingerprint sensor from ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp47001-47500/sp47401.exe then install HP SimplePass Identity Protection Software from ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp47501-48000/sp47904.exe
according to what I've read after that installation the fingerprint light turns on when its necessary.However these versions aren't compatible with mine.

What should I do ?

 

You can first try and update DigitalPersona to the most currently compatible version available and see what you can do from there. It's available on the first post and immediately below for reference.

DigitalPersona Personal Version: 5.1.0.175
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp50001-50500/sp50048.exe

 

Will the D.Persona.Add-On.v4.0.x64 file, for the encoding feature, work with DigitalPersona Personal Version: 5.1.0.175 ?
I couldn't find any updated version of this Add-On (4.0) that allows me encode files using my fingerprint reader.
I'm afraid to give it a try

 

HP Wireless Assistant 4.0.10.0

softpaq: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp49001-49500/sp49408.exe

 

that's pretty cool ... a ton of updates and files available for download. but tedious work looking thru for the ones you'd need. for example, when a new ATI driver comes out, is it the same driver number as the old (sp49450.exe) ?

 

I tried to install the newer bluetooth 2070 drivers but they refused to install. I have a hp dv7t select edition with win 7 64 bit. using the previous driver version with no problems.also.. I noticed the drivers said the 2070 had bluetooth 3.0. does it? I had no idea I had bluetooth 3.0

 

No, when a new driver update is released, it has a new Softpaq number.

Uninstall the older Bluetooth drivers first. I had the same problem with updating to the new version, until I removed the older version.

 

I am getting an HP dv6 Gen 3 , today hopefully , I like to make an image of the untouched hdd with acronis, to do this i need to get into the bios and select the dvd-rw as the first boot device.

So my question is how do you get into the bios , do i press f2 on boot?

 

F10 for BIOS Setup, or you can press F9 to bring up the boot menu and choose the DVD RW drive.

 

Thanks all sorted

Updated AMD/ATI graphics driver release is now available for these notebooks! Thanks Deioneus!

Also updated the current Intel WiFi driver links, now from the Intel Download Center.

 

Ahh finally, that was really annoying. Another annoyance gone, still quite a few more.

 

Hi

can any onr explain wat is the diffrence between ati site 10.6(r wat ever the version is) drivers and hp site 5650 8.75 drivers and how to install 10.8 ati drivers from ati site in dv6t se ???

 

Has anyone noticed if the ATI switchable graphics driver ever updates the intel driver? or is it always the same version from march? I'm using the ati gpu 100% of the time, but it would be nice if they updated the intel one in case I ever wanted to use it

 

Everyone, please note that the following has now been moved to a dedicated thread geared toward HP software.

• LightScribe System Software
• HP MediaSmart
• HP Wireless Assistant

I will still be updating these, but just in the new software thread that I had created for them. If you're interested in these applications, you can find them at http://forum.notebookreview.com/hp-...popular-hp-notebook-software-compilation.html.

 

09/26/2010

• Updated Realtek PCIe Gigabit Ethernet Family Controller driver to version 6.242 for Windows Vista and version 7.026 for Windows 7.

09/29/2010

• Updated HP Quick Launch Buttons to version 6.50.18.1 (thanks Z3tor).

 

hey guys, after installing the newest ATi driver for my 5850 on my envy 17, it popped up with a message that a proper version of catalyst center was not installed, and now there is not any catalyst control center on my computer, where should i get the control center driver from?

 

have tried to remove the driver and install the driver with the original from the HP driver and support. Did'nt help, even tried to remove it again and then use 10.8 from ati's support site, did'nt help either. so i feel pretty screwed over, can't use my laptop for games etc. Thanks to this.. guess i'll have to re-install win7 :S

got it running again after a restore. does anyone else experienced the same problem.. it is a envy 17, icore 5, ati 5850 running win7 home premium 64-bit vers.

 

Anyways, funny thing is at the moment the HP AMD Radeon drivers is the same version as the AMD site with a minor revision increment.

 

Not too many updates in the past week, but that might hopefully change soon. I had updated the compatibility info for the HP Mobile Data Protection Sensor driver.

10/01/2010

• Updated Intel Chipset Device Software to version 9.1.2.1008 (thanks Z3tor).

10/10/2010

• Updated the Important Information section for the HP Mobile Data Protection Sensor driver.

 

@justinkw1
could You please explain this:
...
HP Mobile Data Protection Sensor

"Make sure you have the Intel Matrix Storage Manager installed before you install this."

What's about "Intel Rapid Storage"?

Must IMSM or IRST really be installed?

Thx.

 

IRST replaced IMSM...so just install IRST.
and yes it must be install but you can opt out of the graphic manager

 

I installed HP 3D DriveGuard successfully without having installed IMSM/IRST.
According to the RELEASE.doc file of HP 3D DriveGuard(sp48408), IMSM/IRST is only needed when operating in RAID mode.

"HP 3D DriveGuard Intel RAID volume support requires Intel RAID Controller driver version 8.0.2 which provides a private interface for HP 3D DriveGuard filter driver. Only Intel RAID controllers are support at this time."

 

Oops, yeah it not needed but recommended...I'm just used to installing it commonly on intel based raids, I ended it doing it on all.

 

10/14/2010

• Updated IDT High Definition Audio Codec to version 6.10.6300.0.

While this may be true, I still recommend that you install the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver (after the Chipset Device Software). The RST enables specific Intel AHCI features for your SATA controller, even if only one HDD is attached.

Read Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) — Product overview for more information.

 

Attached is the output of HP 3D DriveGuard, left with MSAHCI driver, right with IRST 9.6.4.1002 driver.
Make up your own mind!

 

One small note - the latest Validity Fingerprint Reader update is 2.1.0.2B

- download: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp49001-49500/sp49477.exe
- documentation: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp49001-49500/sp49477.html

 

It's the same driver, just a smaller set.

Plus the improvement was overlapped by another update in the essential update.

 

Hmmm, that's interesting - I can't tell whether my sensor is actually working or not because I don't have the software currently installed (the driver is installed correctly though).

On another note, HP has taken down the current IDT HD Audio drivers for reasons unknown. I removed the now dead links on the first post.

10/24/2010

• Removed driver links to IDT High Definition Audio Codec version 6.10.6300.0.
• Updated Realtek PCIe Gigabit Ethernet Family Controller driver to version 7.027 for Windows 7.

Did anyone notice this?

 

It was expected since their part number was posted in their maintenance guide back in August.

 

Yes, I've known this for a long time too but did not announce it - the AMD Radeon HD 6370M and 6550M is indeed coming in the next minor refresh, and they will be supported here! I will be posting this up shortly and will add support for this incoming refresh as more drivers get released.

If you look at the CVA, this driver was supposed to be released on December 3rd - looks like they're a month early.

 

Some significant updates to the first post, including a new graphics driver -- and it's currently just for this driver thread.

11/03/2010

• Removed driver links to IDT High Definition Audio Codec version 6.10.6300.0.
• Added support for the ENVY 17 3D notebooks.
• Added support for notebooks with AMD Mobility Radeon HD 6370M and AMD Mobility Radeon HD 6550M graphics.
• Updated AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5470 / 5650 / 5850 / 6370M / 6550M driver to version 8.771.1.0 (AMD) / 8.15.10.2189 (Intel SG) / 7.11.0.7706 (HDMI Audio).

 

Could someone tell me what I should install to get the onscreen display for volume on my dv6tse? I'd use 3rvx, but I've had problems with it ceasing to work erratically.
