Microsoft MVP Windows Expert - ConsumerFirst informations for You. I think then there wasn't made any guide for this model cause I see for the first time in CQ series IDT sound card. There always was Conexant sound card. I will make guide for You but I will not assure You that it will be working for 100%. So it's You choice if You want to do this or not. If You will do it please give here report about any problems or successful downgrade. It's very important for us.

Microsoft MVP Windows Expert - ConsumerPlease check first this link written by Joshua Wood and concentrate in it on problems that may appear when You will be installing sound card. I know then this is guide for dv5 but many hardware and drivers are the same in all models. If You will use any advice from this guide please let me know about it.
It's recommended also by me to print this guide and informations about problems with sound card.
