Probook 4540s
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

HP has a lot of Windows 10 Drivers for a Probook 4540s using 64bits, but not an audio driver.   Windows Media Player does not work with the Windows 8 driver.   Not only that I can't create a recovery drive recording the system software.   One of the fixes recommended on the Microsoft Answer site is to make sure that all drivers have been updated to Windows 10.

 

When will HP supply an audio driver suitable for use in Windows 10 for the Probook 4540s?

I had installed every Windows 10 driver listed for the Probook 4540s.   That included 14 drivers.   I tested them before I made the posting, and they did not help.   HP does not have an audio driver listed.  

 

The only one of the 14 that is on your list is the Sp72377.exe.    The other three you mentioned are Sp71886.exe, Sp65631.exe and the Sp72377.exe.   Did you list drivers for an HP notebook other than the Probook 4540s?  Why do you think they would work with the Probook.exe?   

 

Also, I had gone to Microsoft Tech support.   They go the same result I did.   They went to HP, and they told me that HP is working on getting a Windows 10 audio driver for the Probook 4540s.

 

Why didn't Microsoft delay releasing Windows 10 until HP had all of the drivers available?   Why didn't HP quickly get the required drivers?    Why didn't HP tell us when the drivers would be available?   I have spent days on this problem, and that would have been avoided if HP had told us when the drivers would be available.
