Windows 10: Asus SmartAudio

Recently ive had to get a new hard drive because my old one broke since it was dropped (i think). I was fixing the settings and noticed that the SmartAudio wasnt there. I dont know how to get the SmartAudio back because i loved that software, it came with my ASUS Laptop. Is there any way to get it back without downloading a fake one with a virus?

On Windows 10 how to get rid of "Failed to initialize SmartAudio" notice.

Hi Joseph,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We will assist you in resolving the issue.

Before assisting further, have you installed SmartAudio application on your PC?

Method 1:If you have installed
SmartAudio on the PC and the software or program is not updated, there are chances you might be getting this at the startup as an error message.

Update the SmartAudio drivers by following the steps below:

• Press Windows key + X and click on Device Manager.
• Expand Sound, video and game controller option.
• Right click on the SmartAudio driver and select
  Update option.
• Restart the computer to reinstall the driver automatically and check if the changes are effective.

Method 2: If the issue persist, I suggest you to perform
Clean boot by following the steps from the link below and check if the issue is resolved.



Putting your system in Clean Boot state helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue.



You can open the system configuration window in Windows 10:



Step 1: Using
run command.

• Press Windows Key + R keys on the Keyboard.
• Type msconfig.msc and press Enter.

Step 2: Using
Cortana.

• Press Windows icon key on the keyboard and type
  msconfig.
• Select the top most search result.

Follow the steps from 3 under How to perform a clean boot
for Windows 8.1 and Windows 8 from the link below (The steps for clean boot suggested in the link below for
Windows 8/8.1 is applicable for Windows 10 as well):

SmartAudio - Needed?

Thank for the follow-up....

Ran the download link however the same dialogue box continues to appear....

SmartAudio

Failed to Create Conexant Audio Factory - The SmartAudio will now exit.

Note: Audio is functional for video and music files and downloads.

Why does it continue to appear?

Is it harmful?

If harmful what do you recommend as next step.

Thanks....Paul
