I have aToshiba which was stuck with conexant driver in 1909 build. I joined the windows insider program and that went ahead and installed the h2 build. I still have the same conexant sound driver dated 2017 but device manager has a heading "audio inputs and outputs" with Microsoft drivers for microphone array and speakers dated 06/12/2019 drivers version 10.0.19041.1 listed for both.
Updating to Windows 10 Version 2004/Conexant Drivers
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 ?

2020-11-21T09:48:53+00:00 hi,
please have a look in the thread, there's many alternative solutions.
for me what worked was installing the lenovo drivers, then push the 2004 update then everything worked.
If you have a Lenovo already (i have an Asus S10), just install this one r09aa24w.exe https://support.lenovo.com/nl/en/downloads/ds119072
then push the update with the Windows assistant and then it works. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
at least for me, i have 2004 H2 - no problems.
you can also upvote the notice i created in the feedback hub (you do need an insiders account though) >https://aka.ms/AA9yj4v
Best,
Gabrio

Just dropped in from a google search look for a solution. I too have Lenovo 310 ideapad with Conexant driver/chips.
Is there any chance you could provide instructions or point me in direction of the instructions you followed?
Thanks, JC.

2020-11-19T06:53:30+00:00 I just got around the block on my lenovo ideapad (circa 2017) by uninstalling the conexant driver then installing the microsoft drivers. I waited a few days to see if windows update would offer the version update from the last 2019 one) with no luck. I did not have a problem with the conexant drivers being reinstalled after several reboots during that wait so I went ahead and used the update assistant and successfully updated to 2009 skipping 2004. Conexant drivers were reinstalled bu the update but after several windows updates and reboots I have no system problems and the audio works fine.

2020-11-16T01:31:20+00:00 Hi all! I've tried manually to update to the 8.66.95.70 Conexant driver on my ASUS GL552VX laptop and it seems to work everything alright. At first Microsoft didn't offer me to update so I decided to force the update with the Update Assistant. If something comes upon, I will update this post.
Note that this is device specific and not all laptops might have the same good news, so follow it on your own risk.
