Conexant HD Audio 5047(Waikiki) - fully working driver?

Oh, through Windows Update? I did read that someone told me on HP.com's Forums. That a driver from Windows Update fixed their problems. But I have yet to see any type of driver through Windows Update for my laptop's audio.

No, in device manager. Right click the Waikiki device and select update driver...

I click "Update Driver..." then "Search automatically for updated driver software". I then get a message that says "The best driver software for your device is already installed". It's showing it's an Conexant High Definition Audio.

It was worth a try...

Hi everyone :),

I've been on a hunt, ever since September of last year. Looking for a fully working Windows 7 driver for my audio of my laptop. There's audio popping and microphone recording issues (mono output recording). All my other devices work great with Windows 7. Even if I have to use a Vista driver for them, which I get from HP.com. If anyone is in my situation, or can help, please reply. I would love to enjoy using Windows 7 without this issue that bothers me.

I read a few more things you might have also tried, or maybe not:

1) increase the audio sample rate to maximum (or at least increase)

2) allow applications to take exclusive control
3) close properties and click configure. Make sure you've selected the correct speaker configuration.
