The problem is, that you probably need a version which fits your mainboard/sound card.Microsoft doesn't offer the download on their site, so you need to contact the support first to obtain this file. Best bet might be to check on the manufacturers and/or mainboard homepage, especially if it is onboard sound. But there _are_ other downloads for that driver, but I cannot tell you, if that version (HP Pavillon) will fit your system or cause critical errors (bluescreens, not being able to boot Windows anymore and such). Since we don't know your system, we also cannot know if you own that particular machine or another one ... But unless you just formatted and wouldn't mind re-formatting your system, in any case that driver fails, I would stronly recommend not installing this, if you are not 100% sure about it.
