HP 450 G3
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi,

I installed Windows 8 Pro on my HP 450 G3 and upgraded to Windows 10 (I had to upgrade because there was no display driver allowing diming of screen). Now there is SmartAudio error message after startup "A conexant audio device could not be found. The application will now exit."

 

CxUtilSvc is running and set to automatic startup type.

 

I already tried to uninstall drivers (tried to uninstall in both normal mode and safe mode) and tried to install drivers from driver CD and HP website.

 

Any ideas?
