Older laptops win 7 drivers

[bob9999999999999]

Hello,
HP zv5000 pavillion laptop.. win 7 home premium.. drivers won't install or work for the sound.

Does anyone build one because HP doesn't have anything?

Hello Bob9;

See if you can do it yourself.
Update a driver for hardware that isn't working properly
They mention the automatic and manual methods for updating drivers.

You can also use Device Manager to ID the audio device and you might be able to find that the sound chip MFRGs website has drivers for that hardware.

Although you didn't mention the exact zv5000 model, it probably uses the SoundMax ADI 1981B chip and windows update soemtimes provides a driver.

Or try this one ..

Otherwise, use a Vista driver ..
