2. Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons.

3. Click on troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the left panel.

4. Run the playing Audio troubleshooter.

Method2: If the issue persists uninstall and reinstall the smart audio driver and check if that helps.

• Press Windows Key + R, type devmgmt.msc and press enter.
• Search for the Conexant High Definition SmartAudio Drivers, right click on it and then select “Uninstall”.
  
• On the un-installation window, if you have an option: “Delete the driver software for this device” you may select that and then remove the corrupted drivers from the computer.
  
• Follow the on-screen instructions to complete it and the restart the computer if prompted.

Thank you Aswin! The instructions from Andreas Socratous didn't work because "Conexant SmartAudio HD" wasn't listed as a choice to disable. I used Vijay Kroupolu M's Method 1: Clean Boot. I just followed Step 1 and 2; didn't do any actual "troubleshooting."
The dialogue box isn't appearing now when I turn on the computer! I don't know if SmartAudio is working or not, but I'm not sure if that makes any difference. Thanks!
