Help solve the problem, it is necessary to record using an internal mixer, a sound that goes from the computer, rather than external.

Are you asking how to record sounds on your laptop?
I do not think that Conexant Smartaudio can record - it is to adjust the sound and you would use Windows Sound Recorder to capture the sound to disk.
If you are using Windows 7 your sound drivers need updating - You have the latest version for Vista.

Vista 64 bit - Conexant high definition SmartAudio 221 driver

This driver download for 64 bit Vista is unsigned and therefore will not install, if you have SP1 you cannot turn off the check for driver signature, therefore the driver upgrade is useless.
Any ideas?

Hi DieterHaes!
I don't know what's up with the Lenovo driver download, but I have a suggestion.
Hop on over to the Microsoft Update Catalog and download the latest signed driver from there. It should get you working.
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

With Vista Service Pack 2 NO SOUND on HP530 with Conexant High Definition SmartAudio HD2.

Last night I installed Vista service pack 2. Now I get the message "No audio output device is installed".
Drivers are up to date - that is, there are no new drivers for this Vista release to be found (yet).
Tried to roll back as suggested in another post. However, no new driver was installed so no roll back.
It looks as if Vista SP2 needs new drivers from HP. Does anyone have any suggestions??
Btw, HP instant support reports "the information you entered is not of a currently supported mode". Bought that model 1,5 year ago..... ;-(

This is a worldwide issue with several audio drivers after a recent Windows update. Microsoft's website shows a disclaimer saying that it is not responsible and that we should approach the Original Equipment Manufacturer about the problem. Obviously, our OEM is HP who, to date, have neither communicated a fix to their customers, nor have they issued a recall. <text deleted>
Please see the other thread in this forum entitled: HP Quicktouch On Screen Display has stopped working and no audio output device is detected.

Conexant High-Definition Audio Driver for Windows 7

I have been trying to find a driver which will work with my new Windows 7 Ultimate x64 installation, but I haven't had any luck.
My laptop specs are:
Brand: HP Pavilion DV6208nr
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor TK-57 (1.9 GHz)
Graphics Card / Motherboard: NVIDIA GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M
RAM: 2.0 GB DDR
The audio device:
Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221
HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_5051&SUBSYS_103C30CF&REV_1000
The original OS that came installed on the laptop was Vista Home Premium x64, and I later upgraded to the Ultimate x64 edition. I managed to find drivers that work in Windows 7 for everything except for the audio device and the quick launch buttons. (the graphics display driver was the hardest to find until now). I already tried the vista drivers as well as a driver update from microsoft updater, but they both failed.
Edit: I uninstalled and reinstalled the vista drivers and the device appears to be working now. I'm not sure what went wrong the first time. Maybe it was the update from Microsoft that crashed it. There wasn't any problems in device manager with the audio until after the update.
However, if there are some drivers specifically designed to work with Windows 7 I'd still like to have them. I guess I'll make a post for the quick launch buttons in the proper forum.
Thanks.

XP Drivers for Conexant High Definition Smart Audio 221 - Do they exist?

I recently purchased a Compaq C776CA and installed XP Home SP3 in order to be comaptable with my software requirements.
Unfortunately the only drivers that I have been able to find for the sound chipset are Vista drivers, and that means that my microphone is not working.
Has anyone been able to overcome this? Are there XP drivers available that I have not been able to discover?
Compaq Presario C776CA Intel Core 2 Duo T5750 3 GB DDR2 Ram
Windows XP SP3
Conexant High Definition Smart Audio 221 Mobile Intel 965 Express Video Chipset

In an old topic I dug up that it seems XP's SP3 needs an updated UUA driver, I don't know much about that issue but here's the link to it which you may need.
http://www.dashken.net/uploads/technology/software/XPSP3/Universal_Audio_Architecture_High_Definitio...
To clarify the rest of what we've covered, you didn't use the device ID I posted but used the one shown in the properties for yours and it still didn't find the device after having installed the MS UAA driver? I might not have explained it well, some of the driver packages have a different "DEV_####" earlier in the same line which also needs changed, while others don't.
From the Vista Conexant Audio driver on your system's download page, I got this device & subsystem ID:
DEV_5045&SUBSYS_103C30D9
Unless HP is offering the wrong Vista driver for your system, this should be the one seen in Device Manager, the properties for the HD Audio device.
If that is right in the INF file for any of these drivers we've linked, when you run the setup.exe it should find the audio device and install the driver. Whether or not that device then works has a lot to do if it's the right driver, but it seems to be. Google turned up a few references of others editing their INF file with the string yours seems to have.
Here's the 34200 driver with the above dev & subsys ID edited into it, try that. At worst if it bluescreens the system just boot to safe mode and get rid of it in add/remove programs.
http://www.mediafire.com/?dvu1tudnljg
If it doesn't work I'd begin to wonder if part of the Intel chipset driver isn't installed, or if XP's SP3 is causing the problem but perhaps the above linked MS UAA file will take care of that.
As for the other drivers in their original form, based on the above DEV & SUBSYS numbers, if 5045 and 103C30D9 are correct, we can rule out the first driver both I and Cheryl linked as not possibly working (unless it's edited) since it lists a different pair of strings: DEV_5051&SUBSYS_103C30CD & DEV_5051&SUBSYS_103C30D6
The second driver I linked in my first post to sp35270 also won't work (again assuming the first DEV & SUBSYS #s above are right for your system), unless edited, because it lists DEV_5045&SUBSYS_103C30A5
Same for the original sp34200, it lists DEV_5045&SUBSYS_103C30B7 & DEV_5045&SUBSYS_103C30BB, but it seemed as close a match as any so it's the one that was edited and on mediafire.

Satellite A300D with Vista 64-bit - Drivers for Conexant High Definition

Hi,
I have Satalite A300D-15B AMB 64-bit notebook with Vista 64-bit installed. After I have installed Vista, it automatically took the audio drivers for sound card, but Dolby didn't work.
I tried to install the drivers from toshiba, it fails.
Can someone guide me how to install the Vista 64-bit drivers for Conexant High Definition Audio please......
regards,
Ganesh

Hello Ganesh
Sorry but this notebook model is not supported for Vista 64-bit and I don't know what driver installation are you writing about.
What you can try is to download and install THIS driver.
This is driver for Satellite A300 but this notebook has the same sound card as your Satellite A300D - Conexant CX20561.
Please post the results.

If have SP2, you'll need to install the Microsoft High Definition UAA bus driver hotfix:
http://driveragent.com/files/kb888111xpsp2.exe (703KB)
If you have SP3, you don't need it, proceed with the following. For Audio and Modem, download the following driver packs (the installer will fail, read below for further info):
Conexant HDA Soft Modem with SmartCP
DriverVer=02/14/2007, 7.62.00.52

http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp36001-36500/sp36090.exe (4.1MB)
Run the two Conexant packages above. You will receive an error about no compatible hardware. We just want to run the installer to extract the driver files. The driver files will be extracted to C:\SWSetup\SPxxxxx
Go to Control Panel > Device Manager. Single right-click on the 'unknown' audio device and select "Update Driver". From the Hardware Update wizard:
Select 'no, not this time' when asked to connect to the internet, click next.
Select 'install from a specific location' (advanced), click next.
Select 'Don't search, I will choose the driver to install', click next.
In the list of common hardware types, scroll down and select Sound, Video, and Game controllers, click next.
In the next dialogue box, click Have Disk.
Browse to the folder where SP36090 was extracted (e.g. C:\SWSetup\SP36090) and select CpV30D5a.inf, click OK.
In the next dialogue, select Conexant High Definition Audio-Venice 5045. If you receive a warning that Windows cannot verify compatibility with this driver, select 'Proceed' or 'Ignore' (or whatever option that allows you to continue installing the driver).
When the driver is finished installing, restart your PC. Do the same thing for the modem, except the extraction folder will be C:\SWSetup\SP36089 and the INF is SprtHD5m.inf.
Restart and you should be good.
If you still have an 'unknown' PCI device, it is your touchpad and Quick Launch buttons. If you install the software for Quick Launch Buttons, the 'unknown' PCI device will go away, as well.

Conexant High Definition Smart Audio 221

I was trying to use some external speakers. The sound would not go thru the external speakers. I messed up the sound. On the control panel under sound, on the recording tab I made it listen thru this device or something like that. I then closed the lid. A sound like a siren went off. The system freezes up. I had to disable the sound card.
Any ideas how I can go back in and undo what I did?

Hi:
The only suggestion I can offer is that you launch the system restore utility and restore your PC back to a date that the audio was working correctly. The date selected has to be in bold. Pick a date closest to when it was working OK.
You will lose any programs you installed after the restore point date you select.

Conexant High-Definition Smart Audio 221 Driver upgrade

Have a Compaq Presario Notebook PC. My Smart Audio 221 driver needs upgraded. I went into Hewlett Packard downloads and tried to download the Conexant High Definition Smart Audio 221 Driver, released 9-25-2009,version 4.98.4.60 Rev. A. I got an error message that the Installation failed because it could not find the device for this driver. I can see it in my device manager, and the device manager tells me that Conexant Smart Audio 221 driver is working perfectly. It is however causing problems with loading a Powero2Go program, so I need the upgrade. I don't know why I cannot download it, but I tried to contact Hewlett Packard. You can't talk to a tech unless your computer is still under warranty - mine is 3 years old. I will put in on the forum and hope someone will discuss/provide solution. Owner Babe

5.1 through SPDIF on Conexant high def soundcard

have an HP Pavillion DV6810em with Vista 32. My problem is with the Conexant High Definition SPDIF interface. My first question is clarification as to whether my laptop has a front optical jack (that doubles up as a standard 3.5mm jack which is already there and working). The specs online seem to state it doesn't, but in the sound properties it says that the SPDIF interface is front optical jack. I have tried with a mini tos connection from the laptop to an AV receiver, but nothing worked.
My second and main question again relates to the SPDIF interface. I have recently purchased an HD TV and have connected an HDMI 1.3 lead from the laptop to the tv. Picture is fine, my problem is the sound. I manage to get 2 channel PCM sound through the lead (on all my software), however I really would like 5.1 sound. My tv accepts dolby and dts through HDMI and I have an optical lead running from the tv to an AV reciever which also accepts dolby and dts. I have checked my tv manual and it states that if dolby or dts is received by the tv, then it will pass it through the optical lead to the AV receiver.
I seem to have tried every potential solution from looking around the net, but I’ll outline what I have tried. I only have 2 options in sound properties – Speakers or SPDIF interface. I select the SPDIF interface as default device and within its properties, it shows that the conexant soundcard is capable of both dts and dolby. Those boxes are both checked, as are the all the other check boxes in the window. I have tried AC3 filter with numerous options, I have changed settings on my tv and av receiver and have installed all the latest drivers.
Again, 5.1 is the issue – for example, quickplay has 2 internal settings. The first, ‘analogue’ plays the 2 channel PCM. The other ‘SPDIF’ (which I assume will enable dolby or dts) when selected plays no sound at all. I have tried other programmes such as media player classic, media center and media player with the same results. I just want to know what the problem is, even if there is no solution!
To confirm, 2 channel PCM works with all software on my laptop on the SPDIF interface (and when analogue is selected quickplay), just not 5.1 dolby or dts with a dvd (like when SPDIF is selected in quickplay). Just incase you need to know, in sound properties the laptop speakers work fine, as does the headphone jack with it (which are obviously stereo analogue sound only).
Thanks for your help.

Hey Man,
I ran into the same problem. There ARE solutions out there, you need to google them and they involve different sound cards then you can find here. I didnt know the audigy could do Dolby Digital, or DTS encoding, but thats what you need if you want games to work on the home theatre.
The X-FI can only output 2 channel stereo over its digital outputs... most sound cards on the market do however have DTS Encoding and Dolby Digital encoding, so any of these other options is the way to go. [For example. I switched to my onboard sound on my asus p5kc motherboard which can do dolby encoding with a software patch, so I've lost EAX 5, but I have dolby digital surroudn in games on my home theatre which rocks. ]
Creative does sell a DTS encoder seperately, but it is very very expensi've.
There is NO way to have a game output 5. on a home theatre using X-Fi Fatalty sound cards and a digital connection.
There is also no way to get the X-FI Fatalty sound card to work with Unreal Tournament 3. [openAl crash. No fix planned]
Basically its a finished card with no support and no real reason to hold on to it.

HP Pavilion G60-635DX - No Sound in Windows 8 with Conexant Pebble High Definition Smart Audio

All,
I would like to report a bug when using the Conexant Pebble High Definition Smart Audio Driver in Windows 8.
First, a bit of background:
Product Name/Number - HP Pavilion G60-635DX
Operating System - Windows 8 Professional x64 (Build 9200)
Sound Driver / Version - Conexant Pebble High Definition Smart Audio (Version 4.98.60.50)
BIOS - Latest version
This is a unique situation due to the fact that the Conexant sound driver installs fine in Windows 8 and shows all signs that the device is working properly:
1. You receive a speaker icon (Without red X) on the task bar.
2. No device conflicts in device manager
3. Device properties show device is 'Working Properly'
Here is the issue, I decided to do an in-place upgrade to Windows 8 from Windows 7 and the process went fine, however when I was up and running in Windows 8, I was receiving no audio. I uninstalled and reinstalled the device driver, I uninstalled and reinstalled the sound controller and I also disabled and re-enabled the services that are responsible for Windows sound. I also ran the Microsoft troubleshooting wizard for fixing audio issues in Windows 8. The wizard was unable to find any issues.
Finally, I decided to do a full wipe/format of the system and install from scratch. This still did not fix the issue. I know for a fact my physical speakers are functioning because they were working in the Windows 7 instance.
I have been doing research and I'm finding that other people are having similar issues with other Conexant drivers in Windows 8. I call this a bug because the driver shows all signs of compatibility, however no sound is produced.
I cannot seem to find any solutions to this issue so I have resulted in going back to Windows 7 where my sound is currently working. If there are no solutions to this problem, I would appreciate if an administrator can forward this report to the necessary parties so a solution can be developed.
Thank you,
Eric

I have a G60t-500 CTO and am having the same issue. When I ran the pre-installation check with Microsoft, none of the audio drivers provided an error. I installed over my Windows7 Pro 64-bit installation and all went well. Love the new Windows 8 graphics. But no sound. Nada. I looked at the list of beta drivers that was included in the link in the above post but it's the exact same driver that's installed. So much for that option. There is no good information online. You have to dig through a bunch of crap and try to avoid the vendors who want you to buy their driver fixing software package (no thank you very much).
I did try to do a reinstall of the audio driver. Windows recommended I set the compatibility to WinXP SP3. It installed, no errors, but still no sound. Tried to install to make it compatible with Windows 7 but got the same results ... nothing.
My laptop is only 4 years old. I bought it in November, 2008. I have no intention of buying a new one but if I want to go to Windows 8, it seems I'll have to do that. I paid the $50 for Win8 Pro AND Media Center. Now I have to see if I could get my money back (I seriously doubt it). This is just another ploy to get you to make another computer purchase of you want to upgrade. Every disappointing. My husband needs a new laptop. I'm steering him clear from HP and sending him to Asus (he does NOT want an Apple).
