Whats up guys,
I've got a hp pavilion dev4, core 2.
My problem is with audio drivers, so, after a energy break, the system could not start properly, I had to restart and delete everything.
Now the hp assistant app says it is un-pluggled.
Does anybody know where to download it or other way?

Hi:
You have a dv4-1283cl notebook.
Your notebook is not supported by HP for W10 since it was made prior to August 2013, which means that no W10 drivers were ever released for it.
To further complicate matters, your notebook has the IDT audio chip for which many of those IDT codecs do not work in W10.
The only suggestion I can offer would be to try this W10 IDT audio driver from a newer model notebook and restart the PC.

If that doesn't work you can try the W7 driver, but I doubt that will work on W10.
