Uninstall Conexant audio driver permanently (New Method)

[l4ngx]

Because the Conexant was causing problems with my sound, I managed to uninstall it . Here’s what worked for me:
1. Get the Conexant Hardware ID:
Right-click on This pc > select device manager > then right-click on Conexant audio drivers > Properties > Details > Find Hardware Ids in property > Copy and save the Ids(Value)
2. Uninstall Conexant audio drivers:
Device manager > Right-click on Conexant audio drivers > uninstall > select checkbox(Delete driver software for this device) > Uninstall.
3. After that turn off Internet connection then restart your pc (and leave your connection turned off).You will find that there are new driver(High definition audio) installed instead of Conexant driversIf you turn on the internet connection, Conexant will be installed automatically, so make sure that it is still off.
4. Block Conexant drivers:
Method 1: Using Registry Editor (works on Windows 10/11 Home)
- Press Win + R → type regedit → Enter.
- Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceInstall\Restrictions (If the Restrictions key does not exist, create it manually.)
- Inside Restrictions, create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value named: DenyDeviceIDs → set its value to 1.
- Create a subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceInstall\Restrictions\DenyDeviceIDs
- Inside DenyDeviceIDs, create a new String Value (e.g. 1) -> Set its value to the Hardware ID of your Conexant Audio device.
Method 2: Using Group Policy (Windows Pro/Enterprise only)
- Press Win + R → type gpedit.msc → Enter.
- Navigate to: Computer Configuration → Administrative Templates → System → Device Installation → Device Installation Restrictions -> Right click on Prevent installation of devices that match any of these device IDs -> Edit.
- Enable the policy.
- Add your Conexant Hardware ID(s) to the list.
- Apply → OK.
After this, enable your Internet and your Windows should stopped reinstalling Conexant 🙂
