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 ?
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I still feel that you can uninstall the drivers and manually install the 20H2 without a restart. The drivers get automatically gets installed at the end and the sound works perfectly. If it doesn't you can install/ update the drivers through windows update again or through trouble shooting.
I don't think Microsoft Will do anything more.
I can assure you that it dosn't work for me, tried and failed on several occasions!!
Has anyone tried to update the Conexant driver to version 8.66.95.70 by downloading direct from the Microsoft Update catalogue and then installing? If so, did that then produce a WU prompt to 2004 or 20H2? What happened thereafter?
If I understand previous postings correctly, some people who have now received the latest Feature via WU have also been served this version of driver with it.
Having installed 20H2 using the method I have described in detail earlier, I am still running with the Conexant ISST file version below the lower problematic version 7.231.3.0, but the corresponding file in the driver .cab is I mention above is 7.231.4.0. The signing of this file is 7 September 2020 by Synaptics and 5 January 2021 by Microsoft.
I have a HP envy x360 notebook with the Conexant audio ISST drivers. Since 1909 updates expires in about a month, I decided to try what I read previously. I still get the block on windows update. I used device manager to disable the Conexant audio drivers. I did not delete the drivers. I did not reboot since that would have reinstalled the audio drivers. Went to the windows web site used the update for 2020 H2. It installed without any problems. (It took a very long time for the installation to complete). Following installation I checked device manager, the Conexant audio drivers had been reinstalled and everything worked fine. No audio problems or other problems. I used windows update to install the 2021 updates to win 10 2020 H2.
PS: I made a complete backup of my 1909 installation before starting just in case major problems should occur. Didn't need it.
the halt exists because of a mess. Its my work PC here, don't want to take a "fresh-install" hit. I'm okay playing the time card!
good for you! I hope the driver's drive is smooth
