Anyone with windows 8? Driver not working.

Hi mhasom,

This issue might happen due to incorrect installation, so request you to use the below link and download chipset and Audio driver:

http://dell.to/Xgpg58 Chipset

http://dell.to/VynGek Audio

Before installing Audio driver, uninstall it by following the below steps:

(1) Click on start

(2) Type Programs and features in search box and hit enter

(3) In the programs and features menu please uninstall Conexant Audio driver.

If you have any further questions, please reply to the same post.

i have uninstalled the driver, restarted and install chipset , again installed conex... but that didnt worked :-(........

any other thing to try???

i think it is a compatibility problem..  

anyway thank u so much

Hi mhasom,

I request you to give more information about the issue. What happens when you try to move the equalizer up/down?

Just nothing.. it doesnt make any difference to sound nor system workings....

Hi mhasom,

Thank you so much for all the information. But I request you to check if the same issue happens after connecting a headset and reply with your findings.

usually i use headset...

but it doesn't work with either headset or speaker system. (front jack or rear jack)

equalizer is the only problem. all other functions in conaxent smart audio work is working.

i thought u were gone, but thanks u are back :)

The Conexant installer for Windows 8 appears to be very poorly done. Upon first installation (directly after fresh Windows 8 and Intel chipset) the EQ refused to be activated.

I tried reinstalling the driver after everything else is installed. It wouldn't work.

A little bit later, for reasons beyond me, the Dolby EQ somehow springs to life.

Then, for verification purpose I went and removed the driver and reinstalled it. This time it's dead again. So mhasom is not alone in this. Something's gone seriously south in this Windows 8 installer. That's problem #1.

Here's problem #2.

The Conexant installer uses what appears to be Windows 95 graphics... This is on Windows 8! In year 2012! Sure, one might argue that this kind of graphics is pretty much in line with Microsoft's "less is more" philosophy, as can be observed in Windows 8 UI. In any modern OS however, dialog box like the one above either stands for "no money for art department", or "driver is mind-blowingly obsolete". Whatever it stands for, it does not instill confidence in its users.

i usually keep my pc on.. today when i came back after leaving.. YEa that equalizer is working...

i dont know  weather there was a windows update or not

but my question is what is going to happen after a restart... probably i m gonna restart tomorrow.

Hi mhasom,

I am so sorry for the delayed response. Since it is working now please restart the system and let us know what happens.

sorry i was out for my holidays......

and yes its working i have restarted it..

my eq again stopped working. so no i m using not eq but srs audio essentials. its great. it enhances sound.. no need of eq. it can do the job.
