conexant hd audio driver windows 10 toshiba satellite

I need it for work, however, so that's a last resort.

The laptop is still in warranty, so I can take it back to the supplier if necessary. Let the driver install and then check the functionality. Place a check mark next to Run this program in Compatibility mode and select previous the version of Windows (Windows 8) from the drop down list. I've not yet attempted a system restore, but will do so if people think that's a good idea. Right-click on the setup file of the driver and select Properties. My sound works perfectly through headphones - I've not tried any external speakers because I don't own any! I've uploaded a video showing this (apologies in advance for the quality - shot on a cheap smartphone). Likewise, in Device Manager, the audio system is shown as working fine. When sound cuts out, the volume mixer shows that the speakers should be playing as normal. I also installed the optional Conexant SmartAudio HD update from March 2014 - this appeared to fix the problem for around 12 hours or so, but it re-emerged today. My audio is provided by Conexant SmartAudio HD - I have uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers for this a number of times, but that has never reliably solved the problem. Since then, the speakers have cut out regularly - both during video playing and upon machine startup.

Everything was working fine until a couple of days ago, until the sound on a video I was watching on VLC cut out upon opening Task Manager (not sure if that actually has anything to do with the problem). I purchased a Toshiba Satellite L50-B-1P1 laptop ( ) with Windows 8.1 on Boxing Day.

Hi everyone, and thanks for any advice in advance.
