Did you go to HP's site and download the drivers from there?

it is probably very easy to get the driver, the harder part is knowing the make/model of the soundchip, which you need to get the right driver.
If it was me I would open the case and look for the sound chip which will have make/model on it. It is usually a small square about 5-10mm wide and between the back edge of the motherboard and the back ends of the PCI slots - but size/shape/position can vary.
If you use google images searching for SOUND CHIP it will show some pics to give you an idea of what you are looking for.

You could try the 2K driver. It may work. Or, the chipset if the card is integrated.
