Ashampoo and Audacity not finding a sound card
Hi, after upgrading from Win 8.1, sound was fine thru laptop speakers/headphones except (so far) for Ashampoo programs and the latest Audacity, which reported they could find no sound card.
Programs like VLC, Winamp, Zoom player, convertors from Aiseesoft, Imtoo, Aimersoft etc etc etc were fine.
This is an HPG60 214 EM laptop, using a Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221 driver vn 4.0.44.0, dated 2008.
An attempt to update shows this is the latest, as do (er hum) a couple of driver update programs.
Ashampoo says I need to contact HP, but HP only supported this laptop to Win 7 (it came with Vista).
Any suggestions as to why a few progs don't work and most do would be welcome. I assume this is some sort of low level interface issue which has become apparent in upgrading to Win 10.
So far other posts I've found have been about no sound at all after upgrading.
Thanks.
