Hi mido112k,
I understand that you are having a problem installing the Dolby Home theater on your HP Pavilion G6-2321ee Notebook PC. I will try my best to help you with this.
I suggest that you restore the original Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7) and then install the update driver.
I hope this helps, please let me know.
Thank you,

G780 - Windows 8.1 update - Can't Start Dolby Audio Driver

I just updated my G780 to Windows 8.1 this morning. every time I boot up the computer, I get an Error message stating" Dolby Advanced Audio - Unable to start the Dolby Audio driver. Please restart the computer or reinstall the driver if the problem persists. I have restrtaed the computer and I do not know where the driver is for this or where to install it. Please help. Computer is just over a month old.

hi
The Driver I gave you is very huge (185MB)
      This is because it contains the dolby installer,
         It depends on the Version where it will be located after installing the audio driver
and what name it will have,
Try Searching then for Dolby but make sure you open you drive C: and do the search
or otherwise
      Try Navigating these folders
                 Open My Computer or ThisPC open you Drive C:
Now we'll look for the dolby Advanced audio installer
      Look for these folders as these are through my experience where it goes
                  Also when you find the right folder you will find two of them together (Dolby Advanced Audio and Dolby Home Theater) just install what came with your system the dolby advanced audio.
             C: Drivers / Conexant (Then look inside on all the folders inside it lkook for anything says like dolby)
             C: Conexant (Then look inside on all the folders inside it lkook for anything says like dolby)
             C: Program files x86 / Conexant (Then look inside on all the folders inside it lkook for anything says like dolby)
             C: Program files x86 / Conexant (Then look inside on all the folders inside it lkook for anything says like dolby)
Trust me its in your PC now you just need to look for the installer

Unable to start the Dolby audio driver after updating windows 10

I am using a Lenovo Laptop G510 that came with Windows 8 preinstalled. Yesterday I updated it to Windows 10 and after that whenever I boot my pc to desktop I get an error message saying that "Unable to start the Dolby audio driver". I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling Audio driver from my computer but still the error comes up. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks

2. Press the Windows key‌ +X and choose Device Manager. On the Device Manager, navigate to
- Sound, video and game controllers > right click on Conexant SmartAudio or IDT High Definition Audio > choose uninstall > and ensure the delete the driver software for this device is checked.

You can try one of the following (start at 1 first):
1. Run in an elevated commnad prompt without the quotation "sfc /scannow & dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth"
2. Restore to a date where you can remember that the dolby audio sound is working.
3. Use OKR to restore everything to factory default. Note you need to backup all your personal files before doing this and might need to reinstall all third party programs after the restoration.

ThinkPad E545 - After Win 8.1 update: Can't start Dolby Audio ...

I have just updated my ThinkPad E545 to Windows 8.1 today. Every time after computer boots up, I get an Error message starting like "Dolby Advanced Audio - Can't start Dolby Audio. If this problem will stay restart the computer. I have Czech Wins that's why it should be little bit different. After restart the computer the note is there again. I found discussion where are helps like Uninstall Conexant, restart and then Install again. But the problem is still there. Maybe I do some mistake. Can anyone help me?

hi Sperl19,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Your Dolby may not be synced with the Audio driver after the update,
Since Audio driver may had been updated by the 8.1 but not the Dolby app.
Here's what to do:
Open Device Manager
Uninstall the Audio Device Under Audio inputs and outputs
Then proceed to Control Panel / Programs / Uninstall a Program
Uninstall all Dolby Related programs
Restart if Prompted
Now install this software driver
Conexant Audio Driver
Now open Drive C: on the upper right hand side of the screen you will find a Search pane
Type in "aa" and hit search
You should find 1 of the result as dolby or if not post a screen shot of the results here
If ever you found it install that and it should bring your dolby back
Hope this helps
Cheers!

Dolby Audio Driver stopped working

I've been using my IdeaPad for a few months, and all of the sudden it no longer plays the audio in any of my downloaded files. It'll play audio in other contexts, like if I watch a video on YouTube--but not on anythign that I've downloaded. And when I restart my comptuer, it tells me that the Dolby audio driver isn't working. It doesn't tell me which driver it's talking about. I believe the driver was the Home Theater v4, but I could be wrong. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, restarted my computer, and it's still giving me the same error message every time: Dolby audio driver isn't starting. What should I do?

Uninstall the Conexant audio driver (don't select the option to remove the files though) and restart - this will cause Windows to reinstall the driver during the restart. Alternatively download the Conexant audio driver from the Lenovo drivers page and install it. Either of these two methods work fine.
This should fix the Dolby problem.

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.

Dolby Audio driver cannot start after upgrading to Windows 8.1

Hello.
Windows 8 was the worst thing that happened to Windows, but since I bought this G505s laptop with Win8 pre-installed, i had no other choice to go to. Few days after the purchase, Windows 8.1 arrived and I updated 8 to 8.1 hoping to see some improvements. But to my sadness, 8.1 has ruined my expectations, and Lenovo didn't even care to address the user issues in 8.1
Here are my Issues :
OneKey Recovery : Updated to 8.xx.xx.xxxx
The OneKey Recovery app tells that 'Current system cannot create a backup'
I can't have a secure laptop without it creating the Recovery !!
Lenovo, please address this issue and fix the OneKey Recovery Problem !!
Dolby audio app : Doesn't open, and if once it starts, cannot configure the Equalizer !

Dolby Home Theater V4 changed to Dolby Digital Plus after Realtek Audio Driver update Windows 8.1

Hi,I'm now using Ideapad Z510. After upgraded to Windows 8.1. I'd went to the Lenovo website searching for new driver update.
But, after i install the "Realtek Audio Driver 6.0.1.7023", the "Dolby Home Theater V4" is not running(audio sound not playing through).And, the "Dolby Digital Plus" is running instead of "Dolby Home Theater V4".
Then, when I try to reinstall the older version "Realtek Audio Driver 6.0.1.6954" from Lenovo website, the "Dolby Home Theater V4" is running again.
Truly, the "Dolby Digital Plus"'s sound is crisper and louder than "Dolby Home Theater V4". But the sound of "Dolby Home Theater V4" has more bass and more function (like Graphic Equalizer, more Intelligent Equalizer etc.).
Is this an update or what?
What should I choose?The newer driver (for Windows 8.1) or older driver (for Dolby Home Theater V4)? Thanks. (confused now) @@

Hi all
Could you try out DAA or DHTLightweight from my link and just install the Dolby software without overriding your Realtek Driver? I am not sure whether would it work, but worth a try. I have tried on Y460, W520 and G560 with great experience.
If the older Dolby software does not work with your existing Realtek driver, you could install the DAA or DHTLightweight with their driver to overwrite and see how it goes.
Thank You
Peter

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?
