X220 microphone not working after Windows 10

First of all, so far as I know, my upgrade to Windows 10 worked very well and I really like the new OS. The only problem I'm having is that my mic won't work. It shows it as being installed and functioning properly but I can't utilize it anywhere in the system. The driver is the Contexant 20672 SmartAudio HD.  When I go to "Set up a microphone" is says "The wizard could not start. Make sure your hardware is working properly and check your audio configuration in the Audio Devices and Sound Themes control panel." My mic is enabled and the volume is up. Any ideas?

Hi
While there is an issue with Conexant drivers for win10, probably the fasets way is to use Dolby Home Theatre 4 application. It supports Conexant audio chip and works w/o manufacturer drivers.
DHT could be found on the Lenovo support site since a lot of laptops supports has that app preloaded. Also, there are threads on the forum about DHT and presets for certain laptop models and audio chip. Note, I don't know anything whether DHT supports win10.

  • Microphone not working after Windows 10 update

    I installed Windows 10 onto my laptop and tried using Skype but my microphone isn't working. Neither the in-built nor my headset is picked up. Any solutions?

    , Thanks for posting back check to see if it showing up in your device manager if not post back with the full model and product number.  The lead may have come loose to the mic.  Here is a link to help you with the model and product number. HP Notebook PCs - How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? With this information I will get you the link to your maintenance and service guide. Thanks again for the post and have a great day.

    ValentinT, welcome to the forum.
    There are no drivers available for Windows 8.  I suggest checking in the Control Panel/Sound/Recording to assure that your microphone is selected.  It seems that the Sound is one area that gets changed when updating to Win 8.1.  At least, this is what happened to me.

    Welcome to the HP Forums  MillaMagia,
    I see by your post that the USB isn't being recognized.
    I can help you with this issue.
    Are you using the same USB cable? (known good USB cable)
    You want to use the normal USB slot 2.0 cable and not the latest USB 3.0.
    USB 3.0 are supposed to be backwards compatible.
    Try another USB port on the Laptop, some of the USB ports are more powered then others.
    I have provided a document to see if the printer is partially recognized in the device manager, which is causing the printer not to be recognized again. (the uninstall from the CD should have removed the entry and the printer from the registry)
    Leave the printer turned on and the USB cable connected directly to the computer and the printer's power cord directly into a wall outlet.
    How do I get into Windows Device Manager?
    Here is a document for Identifying problems in Windows Device Manager.
    Check to see if there are any hardware driver conflicts, you might see a ! mark or a red x beside a device with a conflict or unknown device, look under universal serial bus controllers, look for USB printing support or mass storage device, delete the entry by right clicking and select uninstall, OK.
    Let me know how it was listed. (screen shots welcome)
    If this is a Laptop then check the power management settings.
    Access the device manager. Windows 8-How do I access the Device Manager.
    Select universal serial bus controllers from the list, for each USB root hub, right click and left click on properties, for power management remove the check mark for "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". It allows the computer to limit or turn off power for this device.
    Disconnect the USB, run the full uninstall and reinstall the printer software again.
    If you need further assistance, let me know.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

  • Fingerprint Reader not working after windows password reset

    Hi There
    I was using windows login (single admin user) and fingerprint reader to login to my Thinkpad T510. Yesterday night I changed windows password and I didn't update finger print. Unfortunately I am not able to login when I tried to login using windows login today, I forgot the password and when I tried finger print reader it is just throwing error.
    Why finger print is not working after windows password reset? What should I do to login?
    Help would be appreciated!!

    I just called the tech support just now? I just asked the 'why the finger print reader not recognizing the finger print after changing windows password?', and he gave the following answers
    1. You should change fingerprint while changing windows password.  I don't understand the reason behind it, btw is this true?
    2. We can't do anything for this issue.

  • Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade.

    Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade.  the Beats sound enhancement is useless in WIndows 10. When opening the Windows 10 sound properties  I'm getting this box message: Auido enhancement problem Windows has detected the audio enhancement for the following device are causing problems: Speakers / Headphones (IDT High Definition Audio Codec) Woud you like to disable driver enhancement for this device?  IDT High Definition Audio CodecBeats Audio Control Panel version6.10.6491.02013.11.2009:43:18 Please provide some kind of fix for this?

    Well, it has been a long road on the Win 10 upgrade. At first I got the same error message as above, but after deleting the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 in Win 10 using Control Panel Programs and Features and rebooting, I got into the continual BSOD upon reboot. Here are the steps I took to at least get stable on Windows 10. First, I rolled back to Windows 8.1 using the advanced feature in the BSOD recovery options. Once back in Win 8.1, I deleted the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Then I downloaded the Win 10 update and re-installed it. Once that completed, I updated the Intel Graphics driver under the display adapters (on my G780 it is an Intel HD Graphics 4000, and the driver can be found at  https://downloadcenter.intel.com/). Currently I am running version 10.18.10.4252 for my machine. Then, under the Device Manager, I updated the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver under the Sound, video, and game controllers. That driver is currently at 8.66.4.50 and was automatically downloaded from the web when I requested to update driver.  I also changed several others settings such as Notify to schedule restart after updates are installed instead of automatic (under Settings --> Update & Security --> Advanced Options) and Do you want Windows to download driver software and realistic icons for your devices? --> No, let me choose what to do, never install driver software from Windows Update.  After that, I shut down the machine, waited a moment and booted back up. I have no idea why this helped or if it is overkill, but I am stable and running without a fear of rebooting now. Hope this helps if someone else is having this same issue.

  • Microphone not working after upgrading to windows 7 on Compaq Mini 730EA.

    My Compaq Mini 730EA came with Wins XP and I have just upgraded to Wins 7 Ultimate 32 bit. My Mic is not working with Windows 7, but it can play sound. When I roll back to Windows XP the mic works, but does not with Wins 7. 
    Where can I get the appropriate driver for the mic, please. Not driver? Then What should I do?
    Thanks much in anticipation.

    Since there isn't a driver to download the only thing you can possible do is delete the windows driver that the notebooks installs for the feature.
    This is what it will look like. 
    Go under Human Interface Devices and delete every USB INPUT DEVICE.
    Then restart the notebook and it should install the drivers back.
    Also, you can follow this document. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01926155&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc...

  • Internal Webcam and Microphone not working after Screen Fix

    I own a HP Envy Spectre XT Ultrabook, and last week I tried to use the webcam and the microphone for the first time in a few months.
    However I was shocked to find that Skype kept saying that the webcam was not detected. The microphone also could not register any sound.
    Device Manager did not show any imaging devices or the webcamera, even after setting it to view non-present devices.
    A check using msinfo32 did not review the webcamera either, and there were no problem devices.
    Control Panel >> Sound showed that the Internal Microphone using IDT High Definition Audio Codec was enabled and working, however it could not detect any sound. All drivers are checked to be up-to-date.
    I suspect this has something to do with the screen repair last month which a HP on-site technician came down to replace my screen, although I cannot be 100% sure. Although the screen is now working, the technician did not do a good job reassembling the screen - the bottom left corner of the screen cover has not be able to attach properly to the screen. 
    I have gone through my BIOS setup to make sure that there is no webcam disabled.
    I have tried rolling-back and reinstalling the drivers for the microphone but it did not work.
    I have tried uninstalling CyberLink YouCam (laptop preinstalled webcam software).
    Please help, these two components are very important to me as I am going overseas soon. The laptop is still under warranty.

    Hey ajun,
    Thank you very much for the information!
    For troubleshooting your Webcam, I would suggest taking a look at the document Webcam Troubleshooting (Windows 7). I would suggest the two options Video does not appear in your webcam software (such as YouCam, Skype, Messenger, ect.), and Webcam is not listed in Device Manager.
    For your internal microphone not working either, please take a look at the document Resolving Microphone and Line-in Problems (Windows 7). From this document, I would suggest following the top two symptoms.
    Please let me know the outcome of these troubleshooting steps.
    Good luck, and have a great day!

  • Compaq Presario CQ62 DVD not working after Windows 7 automatic install of upgrades

    The DVD in my Compaq CQ62 stopped working after Windows 7 automatically installed updates. The driver seems to be corrupted. When I open Device Manager, the DVD comes up as hp DVD RW AD-7701H SATA CdRom Device and the device status displays...A driver (service) for this device has been disabled.  An alternate driver may be providing this functionality. (Code 32).. There are two drivers installed--cdrom.sys from Microsoft,  File Version 6.1.7600.16385(win7_rtm.090713-1255) and PxHlpa64.sys File Version 2.03.32a from Sonic Solutions. If anyone knows the link to download the new driver or how to resolve this problem please let me know.

    We are not sure what might have caused this issue. You may try removing the affected filter drivers and check. This has helped few.
    To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Click Start , type regedit in the Start Search box, and then click regedit in the Programs list.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password, or click Continue.
    2. Locate, and then click the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    Caution There can be many instances of the registry subkey that is mentioned in step 2. You must make sure that you are in the appropriate registry subkey before modifying the UpperFilters and the LowerFilters values. To verify that you are in the appropriate registry subkey, make sure that the Default data value is DVD/CD-ROM and the Class data value is CDROM.
    3. In the right pane, right-click UpperFilters, and then click Delete.
    4. Click Yes to confirm the removal of the UpperFilters registry entry.
    5. In the right pane, right-click LowerFilters, and then click Delete.
    6. Click Yes to confirm the removal of the LowerFilters registry entry.
    7. Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.
    Note After you remove the UpperFilters registry entry and the LowerFilters registry entry, you may lose functionality in certain programs such as CD recording programs. In this scenario, you must reinstall any affected programs.

  • T43 Touch Pad not working after Window 7 installation.

    The Touch Pad on my T43 is not working with Window 7. I have tried several drivers without success; any suggestions??
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Did you try to install system update 4.0 to get all the correct drivers?
    You can also enable/disable the touchpad in BIOS so you could doublecheck it's actually enabled. You can also enable/disable touchpad by going into the control panel, mouse and the Ultranav tab if you have the correct driver installed. Another options is to press Fn-F8 to enable/disable touchpad, but this one also require some drivers and software from Lenovo to work.

  • HP PAVILION DV6707us MICROPHONE NOT WORKING AFTER UPGRADE TO WINDOWS 7

    When I updaded my laptop to Windows 7 Ultimate my internal mic disappeared. I installed the sound driver I found n website but still the mic does not appear. Please help me.

    Hello mrsray89.  I understand you're unable to get your internal microphone to work.
    Did the microphone work as expected when you had Windows Vista installed?
    Have you tried installing the HP Software Framework and HP Support Assistant?  You can then run the HP Support Assistant application and it will scan your system and install any missing drivers.
    Also, I believe the internal microphone is part of the webcam's hardware.  So, knowing whether the webcam is working will be helpful information. Try the following.
    Click Start, type "Device Manager," and press Enter.
    Expand the "Digital Imaging Devices" section.
    List what you see.
    Have a great day!  I'll be watching for your reply.
