Downloaded original Conexantĭriver for Lenovo E540 from Lenovo (8.66.16.50) now for W10, deleted the old driver and reinstalled from the installer. Did upgrade to W10 and Conexant driver was updated - then not only sound was issue but also no Flash/Shockwave in Edge or IE11. Cortana will react faster to Hey Cortana and I have the impression that my Laptop boots like 5 seconds faster (bootĮxactly the same problem with my Lenovo 540! All was working fine in W8.1. If in the next days, windows won't replace it by Conexant, it's a permanentĪfter installing it, your audio (also dolby) will work fine and the microphone which had issues through several drivers will work perfectly. It will give you the choice between Conexant and 'High definition Audio driver'.

You chose to search it on your pc and from a list of drivers. Then instead of installing automatically, In the device settings under Audio Video controler, you do a right click on the Conexant driver and click update. I'm testing a fix right now but would like to try it for some days before claiming it's definitely working. Even in the Device installation settings, it doesn't matter if you tick the case for never updating drivers, windows 10 still downloads and installs At least it's not possible on Win 10 pro. Not really a solution since you can't deactivate updates anymore. Someone has to come up with a permanent fix for this issue, the old driver was only like a month old but worked perfectly! I want it back!

The only way to 'repair' your computer is to do a restore which, for me, takes almost an hour to complete and then go offline. And youĬan't manually uninstall it either since it doesn't appear in the Update history. You can untick the case, but windows installs them anyways. It's really a pain in the **** since microsoft forces driver updates but doesn't even make shure that they do work! The option to exclude drivers from windows update doesn't work anymore.

It creates 2 issues, either you do have sound but no video can play (no browser or program can play a video of whateverįormat) or the sound devices appear as not installed. I did a full system restore to before the update and it just worked fine until that **** update was installed automatically again. After installing it, the speakers didn't work. I have the same issue! It's definetly the driver that is corrupt.
