    Hi,
    I have upgraded my HP Presario R3000 laptop to Windows 7. The sound disappeared but I have managed to get it back somehow despite being told that the driver was incompatible with Windows 7.
    Now when I start up the laptop,I keep getting the message "ADI Codec not installed ". Its running fine apart from that,so should I just leave it alone or do I need to install the codec?

    Thanks,
    Jaki

    Thanks.
    I did manage to get the driver from the HP site to work somehow,although it said "not compatible with W7, but I was still getting the error message that no ADI codec is installed. This has disappeared today without me installing anything else..strange.
    Now the media player is jerky though!

    You're pushing it a bit I guess - the latest drivers are for XP - no Vista drivers which would probably work on 7.

    So at least use the software indicated in the URL to determine the audio chip and post the details here.
