Hi everyone,

So far, running windows 7 has been great. I have to say it is as fast as windows XP.

However, I have come across, really the only problem that I have had with this OS.

I cannot get the OS to recognize my HP Presario v2000 onboard sound! I have tried so many things, vista drivers, xp drivers, vista hacks, all with no luck.

According to HP's specs, i have Conexant CX20468-31 AC97 sound. If anyone has anyway to help me get this issue ffixed andhave sound on this sucker, I will be supper appreciative!

thanks in advance!

-mike

PS. runnin 64-bit

unfortunatly, "AMD" is not an option in the driver choices! =(

dtunesrus, what drivers have you used to get the AC 97 working?

I am using the ones available from windows update for Realtek 64 bit vista. The problem still occures when I run them under 32 bit windows 7. The motherboard is an older Nforce 3 series that uses the AC97 sound.

OK I have the same problem, with Connexant AC Link Drivers, but there is a solution for this, the drivers from conexant or MS will not work, this are oolder drivers from intel 82801DB_DBM_DA_AC97 (search for them if the bellow provided link is broken, worked yesterday, if all fails I can upload them here...)

here

is a driver that works, is just one file, is older, but no cracking, echoing, reverbering, also the new drivers from MS from october 2008 are bad

There is no exe, you have to install it from device manager, and restart Windows 7....

tested only on 32bit windows...

^ They don't work with x64, man it's been ages since I still don't have the sound working on my laptop. :(

The driver installer wont work but you can do the have disk method after it extracts it to c:\swsetup

It works, but any sound that plays makes everything slow. This is horribly evident with playing music, the entire pc is practically unusable until I pause or stop the music.

Anyone having issues with AC 97 sound popping and cracking. It almost sounds like it is over modulating the way it cuts the sound.

Wondering under what condition does this happen?

Also, could you try DPC Latency Checker in the link below.

To check if you get constant high latency. Please Post results.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
