Hi guys am using a HP Pavilion A705W Desktop PC running windows server 2003, but noticed that no audio, i've tried BS driver pack, but found nothing, i downloaded & tried a few other driver but still no luck. Do any of you guys know where to find the correct driver or a workaround?

thanks

from what i found the A705 uses Realtek AC97 audio so its likely one of these:

http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downlo...p;GetDown=false

http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downlo...p;GetDown=false

thank you, i installed the driver but upon reboot i get this message:

Warning

Audio in this system has not been enabled.

Press [OK] to enable system audio or press [Cancel] to exit

in Device manger, the AC'97 Audio Driver is there

AC'97 does not show in

Control Panel > Sound and Audio Devices > Audio Tab > Sound Playback - Default Device

everything is grayed out.

Here's the link of your PC:

if winxp drivers doesnt support 2K3 Server, the OS should have the drivers itself or best way to findout who made Sound (hardware) search drivers from them.

Now i wonder why the original driver from HP not working when you installed it because your motherboard CMOS -> Onboard AUDIO: OFF

you need to turn it back on buddy

i confirmed that the audio is enabled, plus a did a dos diagnostic test and it also said enabled
