Hi,

I'm trying to update my drivers for the Windows 10 Upgrade, as they broke when I updated, and I rolled back to 7.

My Audio is Conexant SmartAudio HD, and I'm on a Toshiba Satellite L645D-S4036.

When I go to the driver page, the list of audio drivers is inconsistent, and I'm at an impasse because of it.

My support page on Toshiba is here: http://support.toshiba.com/support/modelHome?freeText=2681554

When I look at sound drivers I see the following:

Conexant Audio Driver
Posted Date: 2012-11-06 | Version: 4.119.0.60 | Size: 41.89M

Conexant Audio Driver
Posted Date: 2012-08-25 | Version: 8.54.44.0 | Size: 51.72M

I can't figure out which is better, since the list seems to indicate that the lower version number is the latest driver. Can someone help?

Regards,
Burstdragon

just pick one and try it, if it doesn't work try the other one, chances are neither of them will work with windows 10.
installing the latest OS on old equipment is always risky. you may have to stay with 7.
