Dolby Advanced Audio error at startup on Lenovo G500 laptop.

I have a Lenovo G500 laptop & recently downloaded Windows 10, which is functional, except for the Dolby Advanced Audio error at startup. However, a tech told me today that my Lenovo G500 is not eligible
for Windows 10. So, I don't know if I need to go back to Windows 8 or what or how? I think my current sound driver is Conexant SmartAudio HD. If I follow the steps you mention above, & uninstall it then try to install the Dolby, where do I find the Dolby
online? When I contacted Lenovo, they said to call Microsoft, who told me to call Lenovo. I need someone to give me some real info.

Dolby Advanced Audio and Dolby Digital Plus Advanced Audio

Hi Polaris,

We appreciate you for being a part of Windows 10.

I understand that you are able to use the Dolby Digital plus Advanced Audio and not able to use the Dolby Advanced Audio.

As you get the error “Unable to start the Dolby Audio Driver. Restart the computer or reinstall the driver”, this error might occur if the driver is not installed properly or it is not up to date. I suggest you install the
Dolby audio drivers. Refer to the following article to update all the drivers available in Windows 10.

How to: Install and Update drivers in Windows
10



As the both Dolby Digital plus Advanced Audio and Dolby Advanced Audio are listed under the programs and features, you may uninstall the Dolby Advanced Audio through Programs and features.

• 
  Press Windows + X keys on the keyboard, select
  Programs and features.
  
• 
  Right click on the Dolby Advanced Audio and click on
  Uninstall.
  
• 
  Click on OK if any window prompts.
  

After uninstalling the Dolby Advanced Audio, you may reinstall it again through the setup file (If you have) or from the Dolby support.
I suggest you to refer to the suggestions provided by

Note:
Please be informed that it is your wish to use the both “Dolby Advanced Audio” and “Dolby Digital plus Advanced Audio” or any one of the audio as per your requirement.
