This post not resolve the issue. The issue is directly related to Windows

 

Update which pushes down a driver for the 221 chipset that doesn't work on HP

 

and Compaq laptops. The solution is to run a custom windows update and

 

always uncheck any updates related to the conexant hardware and it will keep

 

working. If you install any of the 'drivers' that MS is providing you lose

 

your audio device.

 

 

 

I realize this topic is old but I want to prevent people from continually

 

killing their audio hardware everytime they feel compelled to do an update.
