hi, would you mind telling me how you 'optimised your bios settings' to get the sound working.
I have the same problem, had a look in bios settings but there is nothing there about audio or
something that can optimise the bios. did you used a special bios program?
Help would be much appreciated

Hp Pavillion dv6000 series(dv6810eg)downgraded from Vista to XP
I checked the HP site, and while there is a Vista sound driver for
dv6810eg, there is no driver for WinXP listed.

If you download the Conexant driver for Vista, run it (causing it
to decompress into C:\swsetup\SP37732), you can have a look at the
INF files, to get some idea what kind of device they're using.
QH30EA.INI "Hermosa"
--> VEN_14F1&DEV_5051
You can get one of the utilities like Everest Free Edition or
Sisoftware Sandra, to list the hardware in the computer. Using
a means like that, you may be able to verify the HDAudio chip is
14F1:5051 and some subsystem value. (Even the Subsystem value
has to match, for the driver to install, as the mapping of
hardware to jacks may be identified by the subsystem value.)
Using your new-found search terms, you can find articles like this
one. This addresses finding a driver for Hermosa. There is a
download link to a private site, with a ZIP file on it, in this
case. This would not be my preferred way to solve the problem.
But at least you'd be getting closer.

That thread mentions installing "kb888111xpsp2", which is a
UAA driver from Microsoft. That is one layer of the HDAudio
stack. The device driver is a second component. The XP SP2
version, is presumably intended for installation *after*
SP2 is installed. So it would be SP2, then UAA, then an
appropriate Conexant driver.
Anyway, the path to a solution, involves enumerating the hardware,
and searching for like solutions found by HP owners.
