No sound on Build 9926

[George Mathew Jose Kalarickal]

Hey guys,
I'm using Amilo Si 1520 Laptop. The Audio is not working since i installed the Win10 Technical preview.
I had the same problem when i installed XP, Win 7, and when i tried out 8 and 8.1. I was able to solve it by just installing the drivers for Vista or XP from the Fujitsu website. I don't have any idea how i could resolve this problem. I tried installing the drivers but it just mess up with all the playback devices and give me a black box when i click the volume button.

If any of you guys have any information about this problem, please share with me.

Have a nice day

The Amilo Si 1520 uses the conexant CX20549 HD audio chipset. Perhaps try installing the windows 7 driver for the chipset from lenovo? https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds002860

Thanks.. Let me give it a try

Wow.... still the same.
It gave me an error saying : Driver Installation Failed: Could not find the MEDIA device for this driver.

The only reason I'm not using this pc is the sound.
This was the best.... Using this since 11 years i guess.

I searched for a driver and found this one:
Download Conexant SmartAudio HD Driver 8.65.19.51 for Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 - Softpedia

I don't know if this is the right one or if this will work, but you could try

In order to manually update your driver, follow the steps below (the next steps):

1. Go to Device Manager (right click on My Computer, choose Manage and then find Device Manager in the left panel)
2. Right click on the hardware device you wish to update and choose Update Driver Software
3. Choose to select the location of the new driver manually and browse to the folder where you downloaded the driver

This happened after a Realtek's update (the one you can see at the image).

​

You need to install the Realtek Codec (Go to www dot Realtek dot com dot tw slash downloads):

>Decide between 'AC'97' and 'High Definition Audio Codecs'
In your case, the option is AC'97
>Download the codec pack
>Install (When installation ends, your computer will be able to reproduce sounds, but first...)
>Reboot

I'm attaching the screenshots of what I did. I hope this serves to some of you. But remember that the best choice is installing the driver that your computer's company offers.



Just want to add that I would not download nothing from softpedia, brothersoft, softonic, and all those 'soft' pages where you have to 'download a downloader'.

 

[Vasrias]

I hate Downloaders as well, and there's definitive no downloader in my link. I tried it before I posted it. It's just a .cab file.

Without a DxDiag I can't confirm, but it sounds like this may be HDAUDIO-compliant. In that case you can try using the Microsoft HdAudio.sys driver:

Let us know if this helps. Thanks!

I had the same problem with Dell Latitude 2100. The driver for the "realtec" audio was dated 2/9/15.... I rolled it back to a previous driver of 01/7/15 and it works fine now. Maybe I should have just disabled and re-enabled it with the existing driver so I don't know if the restart of the device or the driver roll back was the difference, but it works fine now. Also the "setup" where it senses your voice and sets the level... forget that as it turns it down so low Cortana can not hear you!

Is anybody else having Cortana not talk after the latest update? She worked before and I get other computer sounds and music, but Cortana no longer says anything.

~same issue here, not worth worrying about at this time though since the next build should be coming within the next day or two.~

Was playing around with it and it appears that she will only speak and talk back to you when you use the mic to talk to her. so,.. probably not the same issue.
