Thanks for posting this, will be downloading it tonight to see if I can restore my sanity.  Just  quick check, did you save the file and then go to the Conexant sound driver and hit update file or did you uninstall it first?  Not sure if I need to do that in order to run this program.

 

thanks

So far I have not noticed the annoying clicks.

Just execute the patch. The older driver will be deleted as part of the installation.

Have any of you been having this frustrating problem with Conexant driver version 9.0.160.0 (August 2017)? I had been using an earlier version (9.0.140.1 Rev.C - May 2017) and just tried a driver update this morning through device manager and it updated to this newer one. Been using it all day today without any problems, but it's just one day. Sound even seems better but maybe that's just my imagination.

 

This has not yet been updated on the self service driver page for my device, but Windows installed it through the device manager auto update function.

 

Thanks,

-Dan

Nope, this was NOT the fix. I have returned the computer to COSTCO (just love their 90 day return policy) as a result of this frustrating problem. Real shame as I liked everything else about it but was unwilling to live with this annoyance. Good luck, all!

It's been a month since I've installed Softpaq 82074, and my PC hasn't lost its audio driver.  I believe this has fixed my PC's audio issues without creating any other issues.

I bought my Envy 360 convertable from Walmart.com 3 months ago. Been having the same problem. Hours of time wasted with HP support and still no permanent fix. I wish I had returned this computer within the 90 days, but the time limit fell within the holidays and was not able to.

I am also having the same issue with my HP ENVY x360 laptop, where no matter what I am doing, sound keeps going off. As an interim solution, I have to either restart my laptop or disable/enable the conexant sound driver. 

Do we have any permanent fix for this now ?
