HP Envy 20
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi, we recently (tonight!) lost our audio driver on our Envy 20.  I have gone to the sound in device manager and there is no driver device listed. We were having some wifi issues and while working on that looked at fixes for audio and when we rebooted, the sound devices were completely removed. How and/or what should we do to reinstall an audio? We have had sound issues forever with this pc. 

 

I know the OS is Windows 10 but not sure if 32 or 64 bit.

Your machine actually is an HP ENVY 20-d013w. Its specs

 

       https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c03506300

 

It came with Windows 8 pre-installed and no support drivers for Windows 10

The problem with  IDT High Definition Audio Driver for Windows 10 has been around and no concrete solution.

Hi, so do I just run that file? The .exe file that you recommended? Is there a process I need to follow? Sorry not very tech savvy at all. Thanks so much so far for your time.

Yes, just download and run (install).

Darn, tried the files and I got the abort message again like I did before, saying it does not support it.

 

Help! What more can we do?
