Its a HP Laptop, HP Pavilion DV4T-1400 CTO Entertainment purchased in United States.
Just a blank page when I click on automatically detect.
That’s a problem with your browser settings.
Your audio codec is from a company called IDT Renesas Electronics Corporation and the most recent driver is the one on the HP site:
Is the drive you’re seeing in device manager a Microsoft driver?
I dont know but my browser settings are default. Device Manager - Sound - 2 entries are there. High Definition Audio Device - Driver Provider Microsoft & Intel(R) High Definition Audio HDMI - Driver Provider Intel - Driver Version is 6.10.1.2077 & on the HP site it is 6.10.6225.0 A. So the HP site version is latest? Coz installed one is 6.10.1 & site one is 6.10. Little confusion here.
The HDMI driver allows you to get sound over an HDMI link. The IDT driver alows you to hear sound from speakers or headphones.
So according to you on HP site the driver is the latest. So if Iinstall it I should install it directly or uninstall the installed one.?
One thing more I also want to update the lan driver realtek so for this too previous driver should be uninstalled or I should install directly? One more thing my isp does some thing called mac binding. Does this update will affect the mac binding? Coz for mac binding change my isp charge 500 bucks.
Thnxx

IDT don’t make drivers available directly, so unless you can find something more up to date than the 2009 offerings on HP and various other driver sites, you have no choice but that or the Microsoft driver.

MAC binding simply means associating the MAC address of your Network card with an IP address, updating the driver will not change this.
You should be able to update the drivers without uninstalling the old ones, however, as you’re switching from a Microsoft driver to an IDT driver, it might be best to uninstall first.
Seriously, if the drivers that are currently installed are working correctly, is there really a need to change them. Do you know of any benefit from doing so
My cousin has HP 7 64 DV4T model everything preinstalled so I compared his systems device manager with mine & all the entries are exactly same except I hadn’t installed chipset after win 7 install so did it. Now the only difference is realtek driver - his is the latest & under system devices I have a entry which appears twice & on his system it appears only once - Microsoft Windows Management Interface for ACPI. His systems sounds & mine under device manager are same even though his is preinstalled system.
As for updating the audio drivers I have mentioned the prob. When shutting down the system goes black it makes a sound. So thought will update the drivers & check.
