Hello, I have a Toshiba Satellite P100 Laptop (last technical preview of Windows 10, 32 bit) with an onboard Conexant audio card. My graphic card is a Nvidia Geforce 7900 GS (that includes no sound). The sound does work on the laptop with a Win Vista Driver but I have the sense that due to this Vista Driver, a bluescreen appears. Is it possible? So can I use this driver nevertheless?
However, I have installed a Microsoft driver from 2015 but it only works after a reboot. If the laptop goes on standby, there is no sound anymore. Is there any solution?.Post moved by the moderator to the appropriate forum category. Hi Brigitta, Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. There are possibilities that not all the drivers may be compatible with Windows 10. However, you refer to the computer manufacturer's support website and check if there is any update on the sound driver and its compatibility with latest operating system (it could be Windows 8.1).
There could be a possibility of any third party software conflict as you have to restart the computer in order to hear the sound. I would suggest you to place the computer in clean boot state and check. To help troubleshoot error messages and other issues, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This kind of startup is known as a 'clean boot.'
A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts. Placing your system in Clean Boot state helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue. You need to follow the steps from the article mentioned below to perform a Clean Boot.
(information holds good for Windows 10 as well) Note: Refer ' How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting' to reset the computer to start as normal after troubleshooting. Hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to reply in case you face any other issues with Windows in future. Regards, Niranjan Manjhi. I had no sound after upgrading from Windows 7 to 10 on my Dell laptop with Conexant Smart Audio HD. Playback Devices - select Conexant - Configure. The speaker test produced an error message popup with no code or usable info.
Going to Properties - Advanced and clearing the checkbox for 'Enable Audio Enhancements' resolved it. Browser window had to be restarted for the page that was playing audio. This worked for me too.
I have a Toshiba satellite and had to check the 'Disable all enhancements' button before I could get any sound.
I have the exact same problem with Conexant - Audio - Conexant High Definition Smartaudio HD2 Installation date: 5/5/2008 12:29 AM Installation status: Successful Update type: Optional Conexant Audio software update released in March, 2008 Microphone gain is way down with Logitech headphones that came with Orbit MP web camera. I get static with extremely low volume. I have tried with Microsoft Sound Recorder and latest version of Skype and both programs exhibit same problem. The option to rollback driver as suggested in solution is grayed out. Is there another way to roll back driver?
I just did an update with my Vista this morning. My audio did the same thing with saying it has no driver. Fabio, did you already have another driver installed after you uninstalled it?
I am not an idiot with computer but I am also not completely knowledgable in it. I have a service plan with Best Buy but I don't want to have to give up my laptop for a few weeks. In a related question, if I cannot seem to get it fixed by uninstalling it, how do I figure what my motherboard is to hopefully download or install a new sound driver? Hi 3rd Shift. Sorry for not having answered earlier, but I had not come back to this thread till now. Regarding your question, I suppose I had the original drivers on my computer when I uninstalled the updated ones. If you think you don't have them anymore I'd suggest you download them from the laptop manufacturer's site.
Now I'd like to inform another problem I am facing. Although everything looked normal I noticed recently my computer was a bit slower and verified the cpu usage by DComLaunch and PlugPlay proccesses was too high.
Searching the web I found it was caused by the sound driver. Great, isn't it?
Well, the fact is that I am not managing to find a solution to this problem. I reverted again to the original driver but got a Windows Blue Screen as a reward! Going back to the updated driver brings the cpu problem.
Anyone has a clue on this? Thanks a lot.

Hello I am still having the same problem. I did this you said Sean Zhu (till the roll back option), but unfortunately, first it said that I have no sound device, so I repeated your first recommendation.
I am at the starting and sad same point. The sound never appeared, so I update again with the same device.
I am not an expert and I would like to have my sounds. I have an Satellite P105-S6157.
It exist some manual way of update but with a different driver (I have another choice, but it appears a warning telling me that they do not recommend me to do it) I really do not know what to do! My computer, a laptop, it is just an year old! Thanks, Marina. I have followed this and installed sp36090 and also a lot of others to make it work. Each one gives me different problems. Right now i am using sp34200.
The thing is with most drivers it works fine after a restart but with the next time I switch it on. Its gone mute and i cant get it to work so I go to the device manager and uninstall and reinstall the driver again n again for it to work. With 34200, it works for some 3 times before going mute and sometimes it doesnt play sounds with internet explorer only and this driver doesnt let me mute my computer at all. Even if i mute, it plays sounds. I have a c772TU notebook. Conexant High definition venice 5045 and computer recognises it as the Conexant High definition smart audio HD2.
I am not very good with this and i dont understand a lot of this. Can someone pls help. I have always had the problem of my inbuilt mic not working and hearing the sound from my computer speakers even after inserting a headphones. I have not done anything about it.

Still no voice recording option available from the internal HP screen microphones which seems to now be a common problem with a large number of HP Laptops since the SmartAudio and Conexant drivers were updated. Please can Microsoft work with HP to update and advise so that HP laptop users with Windows XP SP2 or SP3 can start using their internal screen microphones again? HI, I wanted to tell people about my experiance with this driver. I have my computer audio connected to a Sony stereo amplifier and from there into two really big and nice speakers that I have been using since forever.

This has given me great audio for many years. However, after I installed the HD2 version on my computer I noticed that the audio in my right side speaker got severly reduced. I connected headphones to the amplifier, still half-a$$ audio on the right side and the same story when I connected them straight to the computer. After messing around with all audio settings in both the OS and my music players for a good while with no successe I tryed rolling back the driver to the previous HD1 version and TADDA!
I got my awesome sound back. Hopefully this will give some people some insight into similar problems. Sincerely: mR.JinX, the future world ruler. Recently I updated my Conexant HD audio driver as well, afterwards I noticed the playback was 'scratchy'. I tried to change the settings (under Smart Audio) to no avail. I then went to 'Sound' and accidentally 'disabled' my sound.and the sound device could not be found?I found out that it was still there, the solution was to click (rt/lft?) on the 'Sound/Playback' screen where it says something like 'no device', after clicking it showed the device as disabled, I was then able to 'enable' the device and my sound returned.
Going back to resolving 'scratchy' playback.I use WMP11, I went to its' 'Now Playing / Enhancements' and turned off any sound related enhancements. After doing this the sound playback appears to be fine. I think the WMP11 sound equalizer enhancements and the updated Conexant driver were overlapping causing the problem. Also tooling around with the 'sound volume mixer' helped as well. I have the same problem too and have to remember each time I install Windows to hide that update. After it installs the update the sound stops working completely and the option to revert the driver is greyed out and the only option is to find one online from HP or somewhere.
This same driver update has caused me the same problem in Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. It has happened since about 2008 for the last 6 years when the first version of this driver update was added to Windows Update. I agree it needs to be either removed or it should maybe only apply to certain revisions of the hardware as it is obviously not compatible with some. Robin Wilson.
Only after installing Win7 Ultimate x64 on my HP dv9620us did I discover HP, apparently fulfilling their Total Care credo (total care for HP via built in obsolescence), isn't supporting Win7 on this model. So, I installed the drivers provided by HP for Vista x64 for this model, and the NVidia drivers directly from their site. But I can't get any drivers for the Conexant Hi Def SmartAudio HD2 to work. First of all, and strangely, my machine doesn't seem to recognize the Hermosa driver - it says it can't find any device for the driver. So, then, I actually found what seems the driver from Microsoft. I put the AMD x64 drivers in a folder on my desktop.
But, when I try to install this driver, I get this message: 'Windows was unable to install your Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus. Windows could not find drivers for your device.' Why isn't this working?! I'm totally without any and all sound, which is really a problem. Any informed guidance would be much appreciated. Torrentg, BTW, thanks very much for taking the time to help me.
I really appreciate it. I use sound a lot on my PC: websites, youtube, news, video, skype, webcam. Without it is very debilitating. I've followed your directions PRECISELY. What's confusing is that my computer seems to disagree with itself. It says this driver is the correct driver. The driver installs successfully.
But I still get this message: No audio output device installed When I click that speakerX icon, Troubleshooting launches, but it can't identify the problem: And DriverDetective concurs that the correct, up-to-date driver is in fact installed. Tujamo hey mister mp3 download zippy share. I am left perplexed.
Here's further information which might bear on the subject. I used this OS file to install, and perhaps it's leading to some of these issues: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 OEM (Dell) Pre Activated One other point: Prior to my Windows 7 update, I installed Kubuntu (Ubuntu with KDE interface) dual boot, and with Kubuntu the sound seems to be working fine (except for a known issue I have yet to address concerning Flash plugin sound). Just thought it might bear on the situation.

This was a 6 month trial and error before i found the issue. I noticed the laptop worked great until after a specific update about 8 months after i purchased the laptop. Thanks a ton for this solution. It worked for me like a charm on my HPG60 laptop. I have been having this issue of the driver going bad a few days after I upgraded to Win 10 from Win 7. On the device driver, everything looks fine but there was no sound from the laptop. Each time, I re-install the OS, the sound comes back, only to disappear a few days later, when the MS auto updates are installed.
It was soo frustrating, to keep installing the OS time and again, which I actually did 4 – 5 times, before I got tired of it and stumbled across this wonderful article. In my case, after checking the Maximum memory box I used 4096 as the default value, since my system had a 4 GB Memory card. I did not see a vale in reducing the memory to 3072, which was lower than what is available on the system. I guess the trick is to have the check box checked on.
