I have an HP DV8000 Laptop with an AMD 64 processor, 2Gig of Ram with onboard sound and I cannot get the sound card to install. I have been searching for a few days now and I've tried a bunch of different ideas and none seem to work. Here is the id info for my sound card.

PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_309B103C&REV_02
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_309B103C
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&CC_040100
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&CC_0401

I've tried a few different programs to search for a working driver and none are found. Please help me set this up as Windows 7 runs great on my laptop and I do not want to go back to XP.
