    delete the offending hardware under control panel/system/hardwares and reboot. It should reinstall the appropriate hardware/drivers.

    +1 it took me like a week to figure it out one time... go into control panel and delete anything with a ! next to it and then reboot...it should install everything correct after that...

    Right, there was a similar post of someone who followed my guide for the DV900T and couldn't get the sound to work. I told him to mess with the device manager. He finally figured it out and this is what he wrote back.

    I figured it out shortly after emailing you. In device manager, there was a device with a caution sign called "PCI Device" (very descriptive, I know) under "System Devices" or something similar to that. I updated the driver to the Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture driver from HP (the one which would start the install then just exit shortly after), and after that a device appeared. I updated the driver on that to the audio driver from HP, again manually, and all is well, including sound and media keys.

    -----------

    It's also a good idea to have your \SWSETUP folder in the drive. The computer will search for drivers and may find what it needs on the CD.
