Updating to Windows 10 Version 2004/Conexant Drivers

Anonymous

So what do people with computers with Conexant drivers do? Windows Update says update drivers but there are none acceptable, it also says Microsoft is working on a fix ? So what do we do? If there are compatible drivers for devices using Conexant Audio where are they, how do we get them and install or replace them (I have tried everything to no avail). When does MS expect a fix ? Are persons with Conexant audio drivers computers at end of life ? Does anybody care ?

    Hi,

    I do not think they (M$ and Synaptics) care much about their customers. That's what usually happens when there so much power concentrated in so few.

    My Thinkpad is 5 years old so I would consider myself lucky having got here (it came with Windows 8.1).

    Anyway I use windows just because a program which exists for Windows and Mac only. If it were not for this I would install Debian right now.

    Kind regards,

    Miguel

    Annoying I don't even use my drivers & conexant chipset - I have a Bluetooth headset and a docking station which does sound over the USB link. I tried the obvious of disabling the Conexant device and then removing it but I don;t know if the update program is actually checking or has just left a flag saying "not compatible".

    What bothers me is did synoptics just buy the assets, code libraries etc. then layoff the engineers who support old sound cards they no longer sell? ie.. do they have staff who can fix the driver?

    And what bothers me more as an omen is that MS and Synaptic are both companies with billions of dollars - if they had any real desire to fix it this at all (or quickly) don't you think they could do better than almost 3 months?

    STILL WAITING & HOPING MICROSOFT...

    Apparently MS has been working on this (and other) problems with Version 2004 since April 22nd,no luck so far on the Conexant driver problems but some on other things..now that Toshiba and Dynabook are getting out of laptop business I hope MS doesn't just flush this problem...they have said they will be releasing updated drivers to solve this problem, assuming is becomes doable or worth doing...hang in there folks don't throw your laptops out yet or switch to Linux...there is still hope according to some...

    and another month and Patch Tuesday rolls by with no resolution...
