Hi everyone,
So there's a white x on a red circle on my volume icon. I've had this problem for about 3 months now and have not found any solution. I haven't had the chance to seek professional help so I figured I'd get some help here. I've matched the model/type of my laptop to get the needed audio device/codec for my laptops, there were 3 and all failed to download. I tried click on the x of my volume icon, it told me that hardware changes are detected but there wasn't any solution given. I basically searched every solution there is when it comes to not having an audio device and all have failed.
On my device mananger under sound, video games & controllers, there is an exclamation mark on Conexant High Definition SmartAudio hd2. What does that mean? If I do uninstall it and try to download it from here, I know it will fail because that's what's been happening.
My laptop model is dv2550se Special Edition - 64-bit Vista.
