My problems

Im running an old HP Pavilion 511w, Unfortunately from what i can tell there is no driver supplied by hp for the sound. I havn't looked however im pretty sure it's an integrated sound card so one would think they would have the driver for the sound card they put into their computer... anyway i had to wipe it, had ubuntu for a while, wanted to play games again, found a download and got xp home im short a sound driver...

Can someone help me get some sound on my computer, I've worked on it for a while and you would think a geek like me could find it but i guess not^^

I need to know the chipset installed Get Everest / copy and paste the Computer – Summary section. Leave out the Debug –PCI section.

look at the service tag on the label, should give the exact model
