HP Pavilion DV5000 : Conexant Audio HD sound not working after upgrade XP to Windows 7

[Zomerpeentje]

On HP support site there are no drivers for Windows 7 for Conexant Audio HD soundcard in HP Pavilion DV5000.

Have tried installing Vista drivers in stead, does not work.

Have tried renaming unzipped Vista files to camcaud.sys & camchal.sys and copied them into Windows/System32/Drivers and reboot, does not work.This is the only solution I found after reading forums for several hours, but does not work.

Would very much appreciate help.

Thanks.

My solution is here (registry editing required):

Conexant audio (vendor 14F1, device 5047) – no sound on Windows 7 – solved

@negrusti

Your solutions works!

I have done exactly what you posted, including the registry editing, and the sound on my HP DV5000 is back. 

I have spent many hours on forums looking for the solution, without results.

I am very grateful. Thank you so much!
