Hi - I am new to this and a PC user rather than knowledgable about it.
But I have had lots of graphics driver (ATI HD) and now conexant mic issues. The mic did work fine but now I have windows 7 SP1 its as others decribe, does not pick up the level very well, others I try to skype say it cuts in and out. Not sure it is the SP1 update I did a few days ago as I have not used it for a while, and the crashing graphics issue was waht prompted the SP1 update (auto update did not advise me of it). But could be a compatibility issue with 7SP1?
I tried/checked all the mic and audio set up and settings as described on many thread here and elsewhere, reinstalled the driver from the Packed Bell recovery module (has all the original drivers) no difference. Note that I did find a new graphics driver on ATI website (clicking update fromm device manager said no updates available) which, touch wood, seems to have helped that.
One thing I learnt from the conexant web site, mentioned above, is it states:
PC Audio Support - Windows® 7So it seems you are stuck with the driver you got from the machine maufacturer (mine on machine is 2009 version - just notice PB website shows 4.98.9.0 18 Jan 2010 which I think is newer than mine at work so not 100%) but the date is definately when they added them to their new download site as all drivers have the same date!)
Conexant develops audio solutions that are used in a wide range of products including personal computers. We provide customized audio drivers to our customers, which include major computer manufacturers globally. At the request of these manufacturers, Conexant does not provide end-user support or drivers for PC audio products. If you have an issue with the audio configuration in Windows 7, please contact the manufacturer of your computer.
Any ideas to help fix this are appreciated.
Notice a site called PCpitstop has a 'conexant HD audio' driver for 7 x64 at 8.41.1.0 and Jan 2011. Anyone used this and fixed their mic issues?
Cheers
