For my Intel Core 2 Duo Processor and G41MT-S2P (Socket 775) motherboard, 1024MB GeForce 210 (ASUStek Computer Inc) was producing good sound.

But the mic or recording part was not working. In another way, the mic volume was too low, even though the recording settings were set to the maximum.

Method #2: Install latest version of Update driver

The alternative method to update your VIA HD Audio Drivers for 32 bit or 64bit is to install a driver software.

Generally, these software will scan your PC for errors or outdated drivers and will list the latest versions.

But most of the times, these software are premium versions. You need to pay a little amount to install the current drivers.

For example, DriverTuner (costs $4.97 per 7 days trial) is one software which will check your PC for outdated drivers and provide you suggestions. The latest version of VIA HD Audio Driver – 6.0.11.1100 will be installed on your PC.

Method #3. HDMI Output Installation for playback device

If you still find that your mic or sound not working even after updating to the latest VIA HD audio drivers, then it’s best to install the generic HD drivers provided by default.

Under Device Manager, you can navigate to Sound > Video and Game Controllers > Select VIA HD or VIA HD (Win 10) driver.

Right click and you will find Update driver option.

You choose “Browse Computer” and then “Let me Pick from list” and then select the GENERIC HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO DRIVER (don’t select any of the VIA HD options).

Install and Re-start. This sometimes solves the problem. But if any Updates revert back to the Win 10 driver, just follow the above steps again to install that driver.

1. Unzip or Extract the .cab file to any location on your hard-disk.
2. Find Device Manager using Control Panel or shortcuts in Windows 10.

8. Now select the location in Step #1 and click OK.

Sometimes, if the above drivers don’t work, then you have to refer to the PC manufacturers or motherboard or chipset, website, to download the Conexant audio driver for Win 10 – 32 bit or 64 bit. Then after downloading the package, you can follow the above steps.

HDMI Audio device drivers for NVIDIA

In order to find these HD audio drivers, you can visit the following location.

Intel Info

After researching various forums on the net, I found that many people are facing problems with audio drivers on Windows 10. So if you have a brand sound card like the above, installing the latest HD audio drivers from the above locations would solve the problem most of the time. But if still you have problem, it’s better to resort to the generic drivers provided by Microsoft.

In some case, the speaker works and mic doesn’t work. This is sometimes the incompatibility between the hardware and Windows 10. For this type of cases, please mail the concerned vendor for issue resolution.
