Hi,

I have a HP Pavilion dv6707us Entertainment Notebook PC. I was using Home Premium 32 bit Vista but I did a clean installation with Home Premium 64 Vista. I downloaded and installed all the drivers from HP’s site for 64 Vista. After clean installation I am facing the following problems.
1. Realtek HD Audio Manager is missing from Device Manager.
2. Advanced tab is missing from BIOS.
3. CD/DVD drive is not reading media.
 Installed the latest Realtek driver. Its showing in control panel. But not showing in device manager. When I checked in Device Manager sound, video and game controllers only conexant audio is there realtek is missing from there.
 Now I am unable to use my external mic and internal mic volume is very low.
 Looked into few forums there I found I need to enable my on board audio in BIOS but when I checked into my BIOS there is no ADVANCED TAB .
My system details are :-
Operating System : Windows Vista Home Premium SP 1 64bit
Ram : 2 GB RAM
Graphics : Nvidia GeForce Go 7150
System Model : MCP67
System Type : x64 Based PC
Processor : AMD Athlon 64 X2 TK-57 dual-core processor 1.90GH
BIOS Version : F.32
SMBIOS Version : 2.4

> Its showing in Control Panel – Uninstall programme too.

> In c:/programme files no Realtek Folder avbl

> In Device Manager- Sound – Only Conexant Audio is listed

> Regarding this i searched other forums too there i get a solution that i need to Enable On Board Audio
to bring and make work Realtek in Device Manager. As my NVIDIA Graphics card has audio facility my BIOS is

mirage,

Hello…When you installed Realtek you should see the folder in both “Program Files” and “Program Files (x86)” at least they do on my PC. Where did you “Install” Realtek to?:cheers: Regards Fred

Hello.. Try to launch Realtek by clicking on the .exe” as shown in my screen shot …This should bring up the Realtek Audio Panel…:cheers: Regards Fred

PS: Also have a look in Control Panel >Sound… and check settings

I would suggest you have Conexant audio hardware, not Realtek.
Get the correct driver and install that instead. Not sure if this link will appear properly but here goes;

@dubbletake :- conexant has been installed and its showing in device manager too. But my problem is my external mic is not working. Where i can listen from the headphone speakers when i jack in. But mic is not working. When i speak on mic internal mic is grabbing my voice and its too low. Whoever is on the other end thy aren’t able to listen me:(

Lets just clarify somewhat.
Was Realtek installed and working when you had Vista 32 bit? Were you prompted to install audio drivers when you first got your new Vista install working? If you remove the Realtek drivers and reboot, do you get a prompt at the next boot asking for driver installation?

Does your sound work now? Not the mic, actual sound output?

When you say “external mic” – what exactly do you mean – a headset, something you plug in to the Mic socket on the laptop?

If you do have Realtek there’s a control buried amongst the settings that will pick up when a device is plugged in and switch to that device – sounds as though yours is not doing that…
This might help, though it is for Windows 7. Many of the same things apply to Vista.

Can’t really help with the BIOS, an OS upgrade shouldn’t make any changes to that. Can you post a screen shot of your device manager, with the “Sound, Video and Game Controllers” section expanded.
