Bud! This worked! But damn the man, Snappy installs alot of useless stuff hey!!!
After the audio driver was installed I had to spend another 2 hours uninstalling all the crap it installed.

What crap? ... this is my go-to app to update client machines for missing/out-dated drivers. ...

I've never had it install anything other than just drivers ? ...
I have the full version (30+GB) ...
... are you sure you used the original version by "Origin"? ... there's a fake version floating around that might have other crap involved ?? :unsure:
 
Fit a USB sound card
I had the identical fiddle with an "Enterprise" laptop. The USB card was R115,00 and solved the problem immediately
 
I didn't think of doing that but I fixed the laptop and just gave it back to the user. I just wanted it to be gone. LOL!
 
At my wits end with this connex laptop.
Even after installing the all missing drivers with snappy (thanks @Dimpie (COMPUTEK) for that post), the audio is still not working.
Still getting the same "no output audio device installed" error and it looks like there's no way to fix this thing after spending countless hours looking at threads that all say the same thing :(
 
Hey Everyone

I just joined MyBB to Leave this post here in case someone googles this issue in the future and I can make your day - I HAVE THE FIX FOR THE NO AUDIO ISSUE

The story - I reinstalled windows on my nephews Connex Swiftbook Pro yesterday (Slowest laptop i've ever seen) and ran into the same no audio issue that everyone is experiencing. I dove deep into it for probably 7 hours and tried many driver software and nothing helped no matter what I tried and Connex themselves are useless - who says to send a laptop back so they can reinstall a special ISO that has audio drivers LOL.

the fix - what did help was Installing Snappy Drivers as mentioned in this post - but not because it solves the issue but i found it did help me identify the missing drivers ID's and the most important - it shows the manufacturer of the chip which points me into a good general direction which nobody has spoken about on any of the posts i've found online - I went through them all.

From what i out together - I'm guessing all Connex products have the same audio chips in them. I used the Hardware ID and manufacturer name and found that there is another laptop called Denver - https://denver.eu/products/denver-nid-14106ssdde/c-1024/p-4184 (Definitely the same generic laptops just Connex rebranded them) that uses these same chips. From there I dug a little deeper and found drivers for the Denver TM1 laptop since the Hardware ID matched the Connex laptops chip EXACTLY.

I Downloaded them and extracted the folder to the desktop (Folder is Called TM1 Drivers).

I then went to device manager,
1. right clicked the 3 missing drivers individually,
2. clicked update driver
3. Clicked Browse my computer for drivers
4. Chose the TM1 driver folder I put onto the Desktop and clicked next

It will search that folder and install the driver pretty quickly.

Do this for all 3 of the missing drivers and your sound should work instantly! Once your sound is working, refresh your device manager and another missing driver should pop up. Do the same steps above again for this missing driver and you should be golden after that.

Link to the drivers - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1C3tXj7lqn3-9dWpsV725NV72puwXw4aQ/view

The drivers i found is around 1GB and around 2gb once extracted but its for ALL the drivers of the laptop - most of which we dont need but just download it all and save it on an external hard drive should you go through this nightmare in the future lol. please note that this is only tested on the Swiftbook Pro but it should work on all Connex Laptops if i had to guess.

hope this post helps

Cheers!
