T400 et al: Connexant Smart Audio driver on Windows Update now.

Lenovo does not yet provide a real Audio driver for Win7 / Connexant chip. Today, by chance, i found out that on Windows Update you can OPTIONALLY (need to select it) get the DRIVER now. Not sure what changes compared to the "generic" Win7 driver, but this one comes from Connexant themselves. It does NOT add a control panel plugin, though.

No problem. It seems the Lenovo Chinese support site often releases new drivers several days ahead of the US site.

No Sound Conexant HD Smart Audio Driver v 4.36.7.60

I have uninstalled and installed the version above into my p105s6147 satellite. I do not have sound.
What can I do?
The tech said I would have to have a hardware change. But, I don't have the money for that. Is that my only option?

Won't hurt to reinstall the driver. There are three listed for your model. The first two have the same version and release date, but the file size is different. Try them all.

Got Display driver via Windows Update for Windows 8.1 and try to use it for Windows Server 2012 R2

Hi Everyone,
the following driver cab is from Windows Update:
https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=5be01620eea95d8c&id=5BE01620EEA95D8C!138&ithint=file,.cab&authkey=!APDi54-R1Ob5IWQ
It includes this display driver:
Intel(R) Q45/Q43 Express Chipset (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1)
My problem is: I can't install this driver on Windows Server 2012 R2.
I tried the following, nothing worked:
a) pnputil -i -a intel.cab
b) Extract cab, update the device's driver in device manager, select "search for driver software in this location"
c) copy the files in system32/, system32/drivers, syswow64/ from a Windows 8.1 system to a Windows Server 2012 R2 system
Isn't it true that any Windows 8.1 driver should also work for Windows Server 2012 R2 (same os version)?
Thanks for your replies.

Missing Audio Driver in Windows 8.1 64 bit

I have a HP Pavilion m7750n that originally was installed with Windows Vista. It's had it's hard drive replaced many times over the years, and now it's running on Windows 8.1 64 bit.
The problem is: the audio driver went missing somehow
I can't find it on Device Manager (no "Unknown Devices" show up on the menu)
The only "Sound, video, and game comtrollers" drivers that show up are:
1. Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1600
2. NVIDIA High Definition Audio
3. NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device
All of this happened after I used the "Refresh" option Windows 8 has. The right sound driver showed up on Device Manager and worked before I did this.
On sound options it says the only audio devices I have are some HDMI outputs. The only way to get sound out of my PC anymore is to hook it up to my TV from a HDMI cable connected to the HDMI port on my video card.
Does anyone know how I can find the audio driver so i can use my desktop speakers again?

Hi,
It uses "Realtek High Definition Audio" and Microsoft says it's compatible but many people say no:

or

Other option: does it have a spare PCI/PCIe slot ? Buy a PCI or PCIe aud card and install on your machine.

Flash Player 16.0.0.235 breaks audio driver on Windows

There is a severe bug in the latest version of Flash Player, relating to audio playback on Windows. Ever since upgrading to v16.0.0.235, Flash has been repeatedly breaking audio playback for the entire Windows system (i.e. every application that tries to play back audio, not just Flash itself). This happens regardless of the browser in which Flash is run (tested: Firefox 34.0.5 and Chrome 39.0.2171.95).
There seem to be two "levels" of crashing the audio driver. Both are triggered by simply using Flash content with audio for a while (examples in my case would be MP3 previews on Amazon.com, or YouTube videos).
In a "level 1" crash, Flash elements on pages will just suddenly stop playing back any audio. Some content, such as Amazon MP3 previews, will just skip over all the tracks as each player fails to start audio playback. YouTube videos will play for 1 second without sound, retry using a lower-quality stream, repeat until there are no more streams left and then report that there has been a playback error. No other Windows application is able to play back sound anymore either. They will either fail with some error message related to audio playback, or simply run without sound. (Examples: foobar2000, Spotify, VLC media player...).
A level 1 crash is relatively easy to fix by killing the Flash Player process. If for example the crash happened while using Firefox, I have to kill "plugin-container.exe" or the FlashPlayer executable using the task manager. Once Flash has been killed, it will restart as soon as another Flash content is being played back, and sound will be working again, in Flash and all other Windows applications. I once tried to shut down Windows while in this level 1 crash state, and the shutdown got hung up on trying to quit Windows Explorer, which reported the status message "Playing back logoff sound", which it failed to do for 5+ minutes and just kept trying endlessly. I had to cancel system shutdown, kill the FlashPlayer process first, and then I could shut down Windows.
Sometimes after a few level 1 crashes and restores, there will be a level 2 crash. Now, audio playback will not just fail for applications, but every application that tries to play back audio will freeze completely. Firefox will freeze. It thaws once I kill FlashPlayer, but will freeze again immediately if some other page content loads FlashPlayer again. A tab in Chrome that uses Flash with audio will immediately freeze. Spotify will no longer report an audio playback issue as in level 1, but will freeze when trying to play back a track. Same for any other application I tried. Unfortunately, I haven't found a fix for a level 2 crash short of rebooting the entire system. Killing all Flash-related processes wasn't enough. Not even rebooting the audio driver (by disabling and re-enabling the audio device in Windows' device manager) did the trick.
My system specs:
Windows 7 Professional x64
Adobe Flash Player 16.0.0.235
ASUS Xonar D2X audio interface (driver: v7.12.8.1794)
On-board Realtek High-Definition Audio interface (driver: v6.0.1.6449)
The Realtek audio is normally not in use, but Flash will crash either audio driver, whichever is active at the moment).
After downgrading to Flash Player 15 I haven't experienced any crashes anymore.
Any help or insight is appreciated!
Edit: the issue seems to be Flash crashing the Windows audio service. I tried stopping and restarting the audiosrv and AudioEndpointBuilder services while in level 2 crash state, both of which failed because neither service reacts to stop/start commands anymore.

I have this EXACT problem as well. I'd like to add that when either 'level' of crash occurs, when I attempt to play a video or audio file through Windows Media Player, I receive the error message: "Your computer is running low on memory. Quit other programs, and then try again" I checked on the task manager and I have plenty of RAM remaining and this error message only occurs when I am experiencing this issue so I am sure that it is caused by this.

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.

Please advise me how to update audio driver for windows 7 32bit....my computer is dv4 1428dx

HP PAVILON DV4 1428dx company installed OS is vista...Upgrade to windows 7 -32bits
I have been having troubles like BSOD, NETIO.sys and computer crashes evey 5minutes.
it is now stable without any problems and only the sound driver refuses to install.
Please advise how to update driver for W7 as it is not available on the HP site.

Hi:
Did you try the Vista driver? Normally they work fine for W7.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-69143-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...=
Another thing you can try is to be connected to the internet. Click on the audio controller in the device manager. Click on the Driver tab. Click on Update Driver and select the automatic search.
Sometimes W7 will pull down a driver from the Windows Update site.
If the above 2 suggestions don't work, try this driver which seems to be the same as the Vista one, but for Windows 7.

Dolby Advanced Audio driver and Windows 10 for G505

I have just installed Windows 10 to my laptop (G505) and continue to get an error message relating to the Dolby Advanced Audio driver. There are several other similar threads but I can't see an entry that helps me with my model. Is there any action I can take to complete a repair?

I have also continued to work on this problem, without success. I did notice something I will pass along in case it is useful to someone else. I noticed that there are Conexant drivers listed in Device Manager in both AUDIO and in SOUND, video, etc. After installing the suggested update, the Driver version in Audio was updated, but not the one under Sound. I tried having the computer automatically update the one in Sound, but it is still driver version 8.66.4.50. (Meanwhile, the Audio version is 10.0.10240.16384.) Please note that I am doing this on a G580, not a G505. I guess my question is, should the driver versions match--or at least be close?
