Hi Mustafa. I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, specializing in Installation, Performance, Troubleshooting and Activation, here to help you. In the Device Manager what is the driver installed under Sound, Video & Game Controllers for Sound? Realtek should appear there. If not try installing the Realtek driver from your motherboard downloads in Safe Mode with Networking so you have internet, or Safe Mode, accessed by one of these methods: https://www.digitalcitizen.life/4-ways-boot-saf...

No audio on HP Elitebook 840 G3 with Conexant SmartAudio HD after Oct 27, 2016 update (KB3199986)

Please note the following:

• Wrt the suggestion: "If the issue still persist, we recommend you to contact the manufacturer of Conexant smartaudio HD to update the driver to the latest chip set. "

Reply from Conexant:

"... We are
manufacturer of the audio device only, not drivers for Microsoft or PC manufacturers products."

HP Tier 1 Customer support worked for over two hours on my system trying to fix, then escalated to Tier 2 support.

Tier 2 support recommended a wipe and reload.

After over a week of various techs working directly on this issue, this was the only thing that fixed the problem was the full wipe/reload on my brand new notebook. A very frustrating experience, indeed, but I'm just happy the system is back and running
(with audio).

 

Conexant Smart Audio Windows 10 issue

I just installed (fresh) Windows 10 and now I am having issues with my Audio Driver, Conexant. Every time I connect my external speakers to the headphone jack, I do hear sounds and play media. But my issue occurs while the windows boots up with the external
speakers connected.

Just after booting, at the desktop the smart audio fails to initialize and this message pops.

failed to initialize smartaudio the application will now exit

Before you ask me to do the initial troubleshooting steps, I will list all the things what I have done so far.

• Uninstalled and reinstalled conexant audio drivers.
• Used the troubleshoot sound problems and found no issues.
• Used Device Manager to disable other (Nvidia HD audio) audio devices, but the issue occurred.
• In the same step, I installed the drivers through Microsoft. Device works perfectly, but smartaudio is gone completely.

Issue 1

Why smartaudio fails to initialize? How to fix that?

Issue 2

In the enhancements tab, I don't see 'Loudness Equalization' 'Room Correction' and other known enhancements. I see only these:





How to enable them? Are those only available for HD audio?
