    So, Im a fool and didn't backup my built in drivers before I wiped the hd clean to get rid of the bloatware. I thought I could get them from HP's site, how dumb am I huh? HP supporting there new laptops... Anyway, can someone point me to them or send them via e-mail or something? This lack of sound is making my new laptop not seem so cool... Thanks.

    On the drivers you can go to HP.com and download the latest SP's (SP=Service Pack)

    SP's shipped with machine are in the C\:SwSetup folder... The ones you download from HP directly may be newer, so no reason to cry about the loss of those so to speak.

    There are /may be install programs for the various programs installed on your PC.... in that case a option is to use an external hard drive (or dvd discs) and head down to your local vendor, tell them you deleted the stuff by mistake, and ask if you can copy the contents to the EX hd. Should be about 35 gb...
    (if memory serves me right)

    Another option if you haven't wiped the drive totally clean and still have the restore partion on the disc is to run a restore.... OR to use the "USER" created "restore discs"... to run a restore from them to put your system back to as-shipped condition... then copy the contents of the C\:SwSetup folder.

    Thanks for the quick help guys. After some searching on HP's site, I did finally come across the dv6000t driver page. It would be pretty cool if they would make it a little easier to find, or come up in the driver and support search at least... If you do a normal search, it will come up, but not from the driver search page.
    Again, thanks.
