The HDMI audio hiccups remain even after a BIOS update to v1.15A.

#Intel smart connect technology needed drivers#

I resolved that by uninstalling 'Conexant ISST Audio' in Control Panel/Pregrams and features, rebooting, and then, in Device Manager, re-installing the same drivers on the now unconfigured device via 'Search automatically'. The internal microphone had also stopped working after the above, including the mute button (fn F10), and including the disappearance of the microphone mute option on the right-click menu for the tray speaker icon. I have not noticed a problem with the built-in spekers, but then I haven't spent lot of time using them. HOWEVER, if I mute audio after stopping a source, and then unmute it, it will USUALLY work again. This is true even when simply playing/stopping different albums or tracks in iTunes. In general, when playing one audio source, stopping it, and then playing another, the second source and any subsequent one will be silent. Sometimes a speaker will work and sometimes not in successive tests of that speaker in the Control Panel/Sound configuration sequence.

At the moment, I have 'Conexant ISST Audio' driver version 9.0.183.0 () and 'Intel(R) Display Audio' driver version 10.22.1.102 (), both directly from Microsoft auto-find and provided by Microsoft. I have tried a variety of things, including uninstalling both the Intel and Conexant devices and their drivers (two different versions specified on the HP support site) and letting Microsoft reinstall and find the 'best' drivers for both. Fall Creators Edition (1709) on a Probook 450 G4, BIOS version 1.14, then 1.15A. Just to let you know, the manufacturer of the laptop has the option to customize all their products, there is also an option that the Realtek driver provided by them works only with previous Windows* versions, and that will be something they will need to update on their side for the driver to get properly installed.Yes. The reason why we wanted to make sure about those details is because these issues could be related to the ProBook itself, could be related to hardware.

If you install all the Windows* updates, is the problem the same, there is still no sound coming from the audio jack and USB? You mentioned that 'the workaround for now for me is to block the Windows update that breaks it', if you block the Windows* update, install the driver and enter 'Device Manager', are you able to see the IntelВ® Smart Sound driver properly installed?ДЄfter blocking the Windows* update, the problem of no sound coming from the audio jack and USB is still present? Nstea, Thank you very much for sharing those details.Д«ased on the information posted previously we just wanted to confirm a few details about your platform: The workaround for now for me is to block the Windows update that breaks it but I still have no audio jack audio. I check the device manager and its not there. It will bring up the option to install, I click next, accept EULA etc., and then it will show an opaque HP logo in the bottom right task bar and then vanishes.

Nothing in the event viewer for software. What is the specific Windows* version/build that you are using? As soon as Windows pushes the update mentioned before, it breaks again.Дid you make any recent hardware/software changes? It only works when I uninstall the Intel Smart Sound from the device manager and restart.
