Which dv7 model?

If you haven't tried it already open the control panel, system, advanced system settings, environmental variables. Click new, set name to devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices and value to 1. Click ok, ok. Open device manager. Click show hidden devices. There should be an entry IDT driver. Right click and choose uninstall. Reboot. Go to hp.com and download the IDT audio driver for your HP. Run the driver to install it. Reboot. It should be working now.
