HP Laptop Pavilion dv7-3165, no sound

[Franklin S Werren]

Hi There;

The sound settings have 2 choices HDMI and Internal Audio output
and nothing is muted. I have not tried the webcam yet.. But I think 
there may
be a bug there too....

I was going to use Windows 7 Home Premium and then use www.virtualbox.org
software to use Ubuntu and the dang thing did not want to load any guest OS
That software works in XP

I suspect it is a driver issue...
I use another computer with XP Pro on it so no biggie
but it would be nice to use the full resources of Ubuntu
