Product: HP Pavilion Notebook - 14-ab111tx

Hi,

I recently restored my old HP Pavilion 14-ab111tx laptop and installed Windows 11. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the necessary drivers on the HP website—particularly the B&O or Realtek audio drivers.

I would appreciate any help in locating the appropriate drivers, especially for the audio.

Thank you very much!

Hi:

 

HP has retired support for the model series since it is more than 10 years old.

 

The notebook is not supported by HP for W11 (no W11 drivers exist) and does not meet Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements.

 

Here are the info and exe links to the latest W10 audio driver I could find for your notebook:

 

https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp73001-73500/sp73189.html

 

https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp73001-73500/sp73189.exe 

 

The B&O software is installed by the Realtek audio driver.
