Hello, I'm looking for an audio driver for a laptop. It's for a a WiPro model-7b1650.
When I mailed WiPro's customer care they said that this audio driver is not tested on Windows 8.
Now what should I do? Is it possible to get the audio driver working in Windows 8?

Hello, have you tried uninstalling the driver and then restart computer? When you do this, windows will automatically install a driver for it. That might fix your problem.Another possibility is by trying to install the driver in compatibility mode. Do they have a driver for windows 7? if they do, that might do the trick

Right Click the driver installation file and select Properties then click the Compatibility Tab. 3. Check The Box Run This Program In Compatibility Mode For: Select Windows 7 from the drop down menu3. Click Apply then OK.4.

It is not a good idea to use Win XP drivers under Vista or later, even if it will install in compatibility mode. It is likely to cause BSOD or otherwise render the system unstable. You are better off using one of the default drivers in Windows in that case.
