Need a working sound driver for an old laptop and the latest operating system.

[Dm771]

Please tell me which sound driver is best for me. Please don't ask me why I installed the latest OS. The problem is that the sound sometimes crackles in the speakers, and I can't hear you in Telegram or Zoom. I tried using the Beats driver, but it's from 2013 and clearly outdated. Newer drivers are incompatible and won't install.

See if this W10 IDT audio driver from a newer model notebook also works for your notebook:

IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver 

6.10.6492.0

sp71886.exe

Restart the PC after installing the driver.

Thanks for your help. I have this driver version. I wrote about it (2013). Unfortunately, the installed applications are not working correctly.

You're very welcome.

Unfortunately, that was the latest driver that had any chance of working.

The problem wasn't with the driver. I don't know how, but the speaker and headphones were set to the same default device. There was sound on the computer, but I enabled a message in the app, and the sound came through the headphones, so I couldn't hear them. The speakers were silent. When I removed the default headphones and left only the speakers.Anyway, this solved the problem.
