Updating to Windows 10 Version 2004/Conexant Drivers

I have a toshiba with conexant drivers. Yesterday on the windows update page i found some info about support. My existing windows build (sonething like 1903) had a support date of up to 2022 while 2004 build was 2021. So perhaps we will not get the driver update but will continue to get  other updates for the existing build for 2 years after which.....

Here is a link to support dates https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/release-information/

Hi, 

on windows 10 2004 update known issues page, they mention the following concerning conexant ISST driver:

"The affected driver will be named Conexant ISST Audio or Conexant HDAudio Driver under Sound, video and game controllers in Device Manager and have file name uci64a96.dll through uci64a231.dll and a file version lower than 7.231.3.0."

I checked and my file (uci64a231.dll) is the 7.231.3.0 version, does that mean I'm safe to install the update ?

Thanks !

I guess there is one way to find out... like I did with unsatisfactory results  ;-)   I suspect that the install process will most likely try to update your driver and cause it to abort.

Hey Everyone,

I wanted to tell all of you that I had the same problem with my Asus GL552VX, but I managed to solve it.

The blocker is mainly the Conexant audio driver, as there is no update yet in most of the laptots... but for Lenovo laptops.

What I did is download the Lenovo driver from here, Instead of installing it using the setup wizard, I selected the option "Extract only".

After extracting the package, I went to the device manager, selected Conexant SmartAudio HD, clicked on Properties and in the driver tab, I clicked in the update driver button.

In that wizard, you need to select to search the driver in your disk and later go to "choose from a list of drivers in my computer"...

Choose have disk (or use disk, I don't remember the exact english text), and go to the directory where you extracted the driver previously (within that directory you will need to navigate to WIN\AUDIO\20202908.1013083\x64), make sure to untick the show compatible hardware option.

This driver might tell you that is not signed or validated for your device, you can ignore that warning and go forward.

This driver is updated with versions not affected by the bug that MS states in his page for 2004 update, so, if the driver works fine (in my case worked like a charm), this will unlock your computer for 2004 update.

If you have any issue with the audio, like it not working or something else, you can always return to the previous driver version through the device manager.

What you can do later if windows update still does not offer the update is go to this page and download the MS update assistant, which will override Windows update.

This procedure worked perfectly for me and now I have Windows 10 2004 installed for a week now.

Hope this works for you guys as well...

Cheers
