MIcrosoft Windows 10 - Update 1803

 

After a Win10 redstone 4 (1803) update, the speaker in the taskbar has a red "X" in it, and if I go into settings it shows no audio sound device.

 

Also the following error msg appeared on the desktop: 

Smart Audio: A Conexant audio device could not be found. The application will now exit.  

 

I have no sound and this Notebook is less than a year old and running 7th gen I7-7500U (X64 based processor) with 16GB Ram but when I go to Device Mgr under Sound it shows:  Conexant ISST Audio (drivers appear to be the latest)(v9.0.153.1).  

It also shows Intel(R) Display Audio (drivers appear to be latest)(v10.25.0.5)

 

When I look at sound under System Settings it states: No output devices found.  I did try a lot of the suggestions from the Virtual Assistant including reinstalling the HP sound drivers to no avail. 

 

I would love to get my sound back even if I have to use Realtek or some other sound device/driver. 

 

Any help would be appreciated. 

 

Thank-you!

Realtek won't work. Please try newer version  9.0.160.50 Rev.J:

or

 

You could also update the Conexant audio driver via Device Manager using following steps:

 

Step 1. Open Device Manager.> Sounds

Step 2. Right click on the Conexant audio device.

Step 3. Select Update driver software.

Step 4. Click Search automatically for updated driver software.

Step 5. Reboot your PC.

@Banhien - I downloaded the very latest file version  9.0.160.50 Rev.J:

     https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp82501-83000/sp82767.exe

 

I installed the file, rebooted the laptop (when it asked me to reboot) and now everything is working perfectly!

 

Thank-you!

I can't even see a Conexant audio device, even after installing the update mentioned.
