Here is a CURE of this disease---- Real issue is outdated CONEXANT audio driver, check your pc if you have installed it, UNINSTALL IT, it get installed with Sennheiser headphone software or may be other audio driver would have installed it.

If you use Sennheiser headphones then uninstall its driver software and then restart and open update and wait it will install everything, make sure you have not connected any other device except wired mouse, keyboard and monitor. I AM SURE REMOVING SENNHEISER DRIVERS WILL HELP 100%. After update you can reinstall those drivers. Hope I helped you. If you don't use Sennheiser then uninstall any headphone or external audio driver and only hit and try will help. It's just driver issue. Thank me later. Ask me again if you can't fix it

    Unfortunately just doing this didn't do the trick.

    These are the steps I had to take (without being succesful) so far:

    • Uninstall all audio drivers through device manager
    • Uninstall all audio related software through control panel > programs & features (HP, Nvidia, etc.)
    • Restart laptop and disable all audio in BIOS (So the drivers won't reinstall themselves)
    • Save & restart again

    Now running the update through the Update Tool, awaiting how far it will come.

    EDIT: It finally worked ! Thanks for all the tips & tricks here !

    In my case, it was built-in Conexant audio. So, if I uninstalled the driver and performed the requisite reboot, it would just load the same driver again automatically. So...

    * In Device Mangler, right-click the Conexant device and choose properties.

    * On the Driver tab, click Roll Back Driver, Then Disable Device, then Uninstall Device.

    * Perform the requisite reboot.

    * After the reboot, it should appear as high Definition Audio Device.

    * Disable it anyway and run the Windows Update Assistant.

    * After the update, re-enable your device and update the driver.

    My computer also has built-in Conexant. If you delete it, will the audio still be there?
