    [COLOR=rgba0, 0, 0, 1][COLOR=rgba161, 29, 122, 1]Synaptics and Microsoft have found incompatibility issues with certain versions of drivers for Conexant or Synaptics audio devices and Windows 10, version 2004 the Windows 10 May 2020 Update. Windows 10 devices with affected Conexant or Synaptics audio drivers might receive a stop error with a blue screen during or after updating to Windows 10, version 2004. The affected driver will be named Conexant HDAudio Driver under Sound, video and game controllers in Device Manager and have versions 8.65.47.53, 8.65.56.51, or 8.66.0.0 through 8.66.89.00 for chdrt64.sys or chdrt32.sys.[/COLOR][/COLOR]


    [COLOR=rgba161, 29, 122, 1]Note We recommend that[/COLOR][COLOR=rgba215, 57, 0, 1]you do not attempt to manually update [/COLOR][COLOR=rgba161, 29, 122, 1]using the Update now button or the Media Creation Tool until this issue has been resolved.[/COLOR]


    Initially when the update was in phase 2004 it was blocked from the Windows Update setup window in Windows Configuration, with an explanation message about the issue.

    A few days ago, the message was retired and Windows update begun trying to apply itself to version 20H2.

    I still have [COLOR=rgba215, 57, 0, 1]Conexant Audio[/COLOR] drivers version [COLOR=rgba215, 57, 0, 1]8.66.67.70[/COLOR] which were never updated, and now the [COLOR=rgba215, 57, 0, 1]Windows Update has repeatedly got stuck at 61%.[/COLOR]

    I am kind of terrified that the update goes on and then I lose my audio, without which it becomes impossible to work from home, which I do.


    I have already contacted Microsoft support and the guy would try to force the manual the update using the Media Creation tool, he would not let me show him the article. I finally could get to terms and show him the article and he did not continue the process.


    I am now in a limbo, since I don't get updated Conexant drivers from Microsoft, I don't know it version 20H2 or my current drivers will crash, and don't get updated drivers from the laptop manufacturer either LG .


    This update has started to roll out automatically, gets stuck and now I don't know if it is better for it to get stuck so it will not leave me without audio, or what to do.


    Please help

    :)

  2. Windows Update 1803 Incompatible with latest Conexant HD Audio Driver

    Windows Update 1803 Incompatible with latest Conexant HD Audio Driver with Dolby Speakers .
    The result is muted speakers despite audio visualization in sound property seems to work well .

    Uninstalling driver and disabling device updates the default High Definition Audio Driver windows installed has a 50% volume level compared to driver that worked on previous version of windows .

    Contacting lenovo lead to an open ticket , knowing that last time I had a similar issue took them 6 months to update their drivers .

    --Edit--
    Here is a thread I started with a better understanding of the situation

    do you know what kind of lenovo laptop you are using?

    maybe there's an updated conexant audio driver on MS Update Catalog but many of them are for the 1st creators update or fall creators update and are specific to certain Conexant audio devices with specific hardware IDs.

    Problem with Conexant audio driver

    My laptop is Lenovo g70. Due to windows update Conexant audio get installed on my laptop. It seems that there is bug in this driver. My microphone stops working. Before update it works fine with generic driver.

    I have tried all method including checking of "Conexant audio option" in speech recognition but it doesn't fix. I rolled back driver. Now it's completely fine. No issue. Shouldn't Microsoft remove Conexant audio from windows update if the driver is buggy
    and its generic driver works perfectly fine?
