Adam91 Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I have a Lenovo G500 laptop with windows 8.1, I got the laptop just over a year ago and I have been having problems with the sound ever since. The laptop came with Conexant SmartAudio HD audio driver and around once or twice a day (sometimes more) there would randomly be no sound when I go on youtube or something. For some reason no sound would come from the video. I have tried updating the driver, I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but nothing works. The only way I can get it to work is to disable the driver, re-enable it then restart the laptop. I was thinking it could be a hardware issue but I downloaded another audio driver (Realtek I think it was) to replace the faulty one and I had no problems with it. The reason I went back to the Conexant driver is because it has better sound quality. Is there way I can fix this or even download another driver that has good sound quality?

Twinreaper Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Ugh I hate audio driver errors. Sounds like you have the same issue as this guy on another forum. here is the link about it and a possible solution. I would explore this more myself but I have no laptop with me to recreate or simulate the issue your having. http://www.eightforums.com/sound-audio/33977-help-dolby-audio-driver-not-working-after-8-1-update.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a look at that forum and see what people have been saying and hopefully get it sorted once and for all. Thanks a lot Twin I appreciate the help. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karol Legerd Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 Handling both written and audio projects can be overwhelming, especially when time is limited. I’ve been using https://www.typingservice.org/ to assist with typing and transcribing my audio files, and they’ve been fantastic. They not only handle the job quickly but also ensure high accuracy. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs to streamline their workflow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
