a conexant audio device could not be found error

To an issue with the Conexant High Definition SmartAudio drivers that you have installed on the computer. It seems crazy to me to have these different and competing names.This happens when the Conexant Utility service, “ CxUtilSvc” failed to run when the computer starts. I assume that when people buy the laptops they receive some paperwork with it that gives the full Support version of the name somewhere, but maybe not. At least on the Support site we get to see both names for the XPS models, but not for the Inspirons. It is tough on us on the Support forums to figure out which model we're even talking about nowadays. It's like Dell's marketing and Support are competing fiefdoms, where each one gets to name the computers their own way.

There are some other examples of this practice too. The model sold as XPS 15 is listed on Support as both XPS L501X and XPS L502X, so you pays your money and takes your choice on that one. The model sold as XPS 15Z is listed on Support as XPS 511Z So we end up with this situation where several Inspirons (like the Inspiron 15)) have dual names, and Over the past year or maybe a bit longer Dell has had a practice of selling the laptops under one name, but listing them on the Support pages under a different name. The N311Z is probably the same as the Inspiron 13Z laptop. Just wanted to comment about the model name. Please can someone help me?! I am extremely frustrated and desperate right now. I have attached a picture of the error message.

I installed it and sure enough it fixed the problem.īut yesterday, all of a sudden the problem came back from out of nowhere! It just started happening again for no reason. The driver is for the 14z laptop, but I figured it'd work for my 13z also. I found this driver which says it fixes the error ' - SmartAudio error message pop up after reboot and said 'Failed to create Conexant Audio Factory. I looked around on the Dell support site for a solution. From the very first day when I took the laptop home, during startup, this warning pops up which says 'Failed to create Conexant Audio Factory, The SmartAudio will now exit'. It doesn't look like there is even support for the 13z because the model is not listed in the support products page.Īnyways, here is the problem. (Note: I don't think the 13z is available in the US market) Back in September, I bought a brand new Dell Inspiron 13z laptop.
