I have HP PC from 2008 and ALC888S and latest driver from MUC 6.0.1.8318 and it behaves like the way you want it on the first gif. Install that and see then.

8297 did not install for me trying to update 8295. It says the best driver is already installed. That is the first time this happened. It is labeled as 64 bit, but apparently isn't.
