    Hard to understand a paragraph with no punctuation, but go to HP's website, and see if they have the driver for your computer.

    press the windows key and r at the same time, in the box that apears type dxdiag and click ok, on the next window that apears click on the sound tab and it will tell you type of sound card you have.

    you can then google it for the driver you need.
