I didn't receive any error messages concerning my modem so I assume it's working. I've attached new PC Wizard report to this message as you requested. Thanks for all your help!

Thank you for the updated PC Wizard 2008 report.
On the Speakers, headphone, microphone problem. There appears to be a hardware quality problem. It's looking more and more like HP dropped the ball. Both Vista and XP are experiencing these problems. So far no adequate solution has come forward from HP. Personally? I think HP is sticking their collective heads in the sand, hoping the problem will go away. This problem has been around, now, for nearly a year and a half. With no update(s) or adequate responses from HP on this issue.
I know you haven't said anything about the microphone, but it's almost a given that you can't use it. At BEST you'll get a very low level of output from the microphone. Several long time suffers of HP's tender mercy have opted for a USB sound card solution. They are small and very portable, and about the size of a USB Thumb drive.
Found one for another person here in this forum. I haven't heard back from them, yet. But, the item I found for them was very small, inexpensive and from a very reputable manufacturer. The link is given below:

If you like? You can watch a very well done video on that page that describes the features of the device very well. There certainly are other solutions, but this one is small enough to carry around in your pocket, or the Laptops carrying case.
I, also, noted the Web Camera is working too.
I think the last thing that needs a driver is the internal Ethernet device? I didn't see it mentioned in the report. So does it still have a problem?
