dv9000 series and Windows 7 drivers

I have a dv9820us laptop, it came with Windows Home Vista Premium 64. I trashed vista fiasco, and installed Win7 64. I cannot believe HP don;t support Windows 7 for this laptop.

Almost everything works fine with Win7, but not the audio, mic, etc. The conexant audio driver has problems and is not compatible with Windows 7. Does anyone know how to fix this? maybe a official driver is available?

I tried a modified version of the driver from here, but it still doesn't work, sometimes the audio work, sometime don't.

Please help, because I hate bloatware vista, and I don't want to pay for the recovery cds from HP. (i don't have the recovery partition and the recovery cd that i made, brings an error)

 

You didn't indicate what version of the driver you tried was, or the link didn't appear in your post. Did you try this driver:

Edit:
Also, run Windows Update and see if any of the optional downloads include an audio driver. That is now I got the Windows 7 audio driver for the HP in my signature.

 

I tried that. Seems that you have other model. Pavilion dv9820us is a very picky model.

Some users reported that they have problems with the webcam and mic even in pre-installed vista.

 

Do you have the Hermosa audio chip? If so you can use the driver in my signature. It has microphone boost too.

 

I tried your modified driver. It works sometimes. But most of the time audio is not detected, mic is unavailable.
