PS: I managed to bypass the issue myself. I suggest staying away from the update, it's caused me nothing but trouble.ĭay 2 since the FCU release, M$ issued serveral "quality" updates.
I downgraded the BIOS from 305 to 302 (GL502VMK) and what do you know, the laptop booted right up from my M.2 drive. After two days of pulling my hair out, searching forums, screwing with BIOS, doing fresh installs of windows FCU I could not for the life of me (or tech guys from a community I'm in) figure out what was going on.Īs a last resort, I don't know why I did it, but I did.
I installed a SATA HDD w/ a fresh version of FCU on it and drivers were shot for the NVMe controller and keyboard somehow. Updated to it, and it somehow F*kd something so I could not load my OS from my M.2. Yup! FCU is a load of garbage for the GL Notebooks!
Note: Must turn off Windows Driver Update or Windows will revert driver back to the faulty one. May or may not work on other drivers or system! Once everything is done, restart! Seems to work on Intel HD Graphics driver too(old fix for Windows driver update issue). No progress will be shown, you can check it in Task Manager. Workaround: manually installing drivers and SmartAudio in each folders. every driver on support site is kinda old now. So i guess the driver is kinda out of date. I tried installing driver from Asus support site. Windows did update Conexant driver using Windows Update, it works, but with no "smartaudio" application.
I tried to clean install Windows 10 FCU, let windows update everything itself. I tried restarting windows a couple time, the only thing working is that I revert back to generic HD audio driver of windows( the real High definition audio driver", using that driver, I got the sound back. So, I tried to reinstall the driver, it's name keeps staying as "High Definition Audio" and now, it said "This device is not configured correctly". In the Playback devices window, it said "No audio devices are installed" It's name reverts back to "High Definition Audio" and produces no sound. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.However, after the update, one of the driver became "unstable" This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver.
