Conexant HD Audio Driver problems

Your brilliant!

I assumed that since there was a Conexant driver installed on my system, and
that since Windows update was offering to update it, that I actually NEEDED
it! Not so. I uninstalled the driver and rebooted and voila! Sound returns!

Now go drink a Guiness. You earned it!

Hey

Will the Conexant HD Audio driver included with Vista Ultimate x64 work with Windows XP Professional X64 edition? I could give it a try on my HP Pavilion dv6000z CTO. If so, please email it to me. Thanks.

Almost surely not, since the XP drivers require a KB patch that won't
install on a Vista system. You need to check with HP for updated drivers.

I have an HP dv9005 that came with Windows XP with a free upgrade to Vists Home Premium, which I just installed. Shortly after the installation, my audio stopped working.

The touch sensitive "mute" button would turn orange (indicating the sound was "muted') near the beginning of the boot sequence and could not returned to "sound on" condition. It continued to "chirp" when touched and the Speaker icon on the task bar appeared to work normally in response to pressing the mute button, but there was no audio!

After trying all the options in Vista without success, I went to Device Manager and uninstalled the Conexant driver. I then rebooted the machine, which searched for the missing driver and downloaded and installed it automatically. Voila, SOUND!!! (Do not download the driver yourself! The machine won't find it, and you'll get an error message saying there is no sound device installed.)

Put differently, let Windows and Vista fix the problem by finding, downloading, and installing the driver themselves. (Be sure that you've activated "Automatically update drivers/software in Vista first!)

I have tried everything under the sun to get this sound working.

My problem is, i remove the conexant driver, then reboot. Upon reboot, the driver downloads and begins its installation. During the installation, an error pops up saying "Driver Installation Module is not working."

Anyone ran into this, have any suggestions, etc?

Goin crazy with no sound here!!

i used to have same problem on HPdv9220 conexant hd audio, but i found the drivers at packardbell.com
