No sound after installing windows 7 - HP Pavilion dv9000z Notebook

I don't think Gigabyte did any drivers for this motherboard for windows 7. You could try the generic divers on the realtek site.

Then select the AC97 codes the version 7.094 is the win 7 one. It should work.

Have you tried to use XP mode in Windows 7? In Windows 7 you can install XP mode and attempt to run the software from the virtualized environment. For the download for XP mode on Windows 7, go to this website: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx

Another thought that I have is that in Windows 7 - have you searched for an updated signed driver for your sound card? Depending on the model of computer you own - you can usually find the signed drivers at the manufacturers support website. Sometimes, changing the driver you are using for your sound card can also effect how your sound interfaces with different programs.

I hope this bit of information helps!

Find the information about your audio, is it on the motherboard or is it through a sound card. Is *********** board / sound card compatible with windows 7? Do you have the drivers installed if they exist? If none of this is compatible you need to buy a newer windows 7 compatible sound card and install it.

Find the manufacturer of those devices and go to the manufacturer website and download the windows 7 drivers. There probabbly aren't any.
Windows 7 will use vista driver if upgrading, but not with fresh installs.
or
purchase driver magician and run the update feature.

Sorry,your sound card driver for windows 7 is not release by tosiba company.Even if they have release driver for Windows Vista too.It might have work.

So you won't be able to play audio sound on your laptop using windows 7.Either you need to downgrade to Windows XP or windows 2000 or you may get a new USB external sound card which support windows 7.

The issue is most likely that your sound card drivers as well as other things are not installed.
Take a look at the end of my windows 7 installation guide. The part about after installation, also note that you can use Vista drivers on windows 7 as long as the drivers are for the same bit version, 32bit vista drivers will work with 32bit windows 7, and 64bit vista drivers will work with 64bit windows 7

You will need to contact the manufacturer of your sound card to check the availability of a Windows 7 Sound Driver.
It is probably too new for one to be available yet.
