HP Pavilion dv2000 no sound after upgrade to Windows 10

[ghost_cat]

Hi,

I have a problem with my HP Pavilion dv2000, I upgraded it to Windows 10 64 bit and the sounds are gone. I tried several methods such as:

*disabling all the enhancements

*uninstalling audio driver conexant  smart audio high definition 221 and scan hardware changes, a pop up message says " a digitally signed drivers is required "

*updating audio driver but it says i have the updated driver.

I also tried to disable the signed drivers enforcement, it worked but when i restart my pc there it goes again, I tried disabling the signed drivers permanently by using the bcdedit /set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS and bcdedit /set testsigning on but my pc still dont have a sound.

Can someone help me?

Hello,

I had the same problem with my wife's hp pavillion dv2000 laptop. After a few frustrating downloads of various hp sound driver upgrades I found the correct one to use.

I downloade and installed the following sound driver - Conexant Universal device install/uninstall x64 application

Ver 7.46.0.2. I uninstalled the old driver and manually installed this new driver.  Vola - the sound worked like a champ.

Hopefully you can have te same results as I had.

Hello Again,

Sorry my first fix did not work for you. Try this one next.

HD Audio Driver for a 64 bit computer Ver. 10.0.10240.16384 . The link is below.....

Computer driver update Realtek High Definition Audio ...

www.drivermax.com/driver/device.php?id...driver=Realtek...

Hopefully you can use this and make the sound work again.

Hi,

Yeah, I had the same problem.  It is definitely the sound driver.  I used the "windows generic" thing and it works.   It did warn me that I was about to do something risky or something, but now I think the sound is better than ever before (my altec lansing loudspeakers have less distortion now)

BTW may I ask you: Have you had any other issues I have one.   It takes AGES to open the Start button, the File Explorer, the battery dialog, the network dialog.   I also don't have a blank search field (which should be the last before the taskbar)

Regards,

Al

Any one has problem with video driver? Windows 10 can't find a correct NVIDIA driver for it.
