code 10 error for realtek AC'97 Audio

[Sonya.T]

I just bought a laptop from a company best and the audio did not work (yellow dot in the device manager!), so I reinstall drivers on the site all drivers, but here is the audio Realtek AC 97 displays an error code 10, which states that the device can not start properly!
in my audio device is: Device Type Description 82801FBM Intel ICH6-M - AC'97 Audio Controller [B-2] PCI

Good evening,

See if the sound card is enabled in the BIOS?

When I clean install Windows XP my realtek hd audio works good. But if there is a problem with my audio due to problems with windows, I cannot reinstall Realtek and get a code 10 error.

ASUS mBOARD M2A-VM Realtek came with the board. Audio is built in. I have Windows XP sp3. When I try to find a hardware problem the windows wants to install a PC device which will not install

Do the windows update through internet explorer and do a custom scan and when that is finished scanning take a look on the menu on the left side under hardware and also software and install everything there especially if it has anything to do with multimedia or sound.....

Worked for me a while ago....

I don't understand, what is a windows update and a custom scan? I know that security updates come from microsoft but mine is not working now, so I use autopatcher.
Please elaborate!!

Please elaborate!! What is a custom scan? My microsoft updates on the internet don't work? See below under PS.
This has to do with installing realtek hd audio. I have Realtek HD Audio R 1.66 (2.32) version 5.10.0.5404 that needs to be reinstalled on my computer. It will not reinstall and I get a code 10 if I put it in ADD Hardware (Control Panel). The driver is not working properly. I have Windows XP sp3. But I have had it installed when I did a fresh or clean install of windows and then it worked properly, then. Apparently it was not completely uninstalled before I reinstalled it. How do I completely uninstall it so it can be reinstalled properly. I have a M2A-VM ASUS mother board but they can't really help me.

PS This was the error message on microsoft updates: "Thank you for your interest in obtaining updates from our site.

To use this site, you must be running Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 or later. "

I am running IE 7 and have never before had problems with microsoft updates.

hey. its not the problem of the driver nor the operating system. i guess ur laptop is HP or Compaq. The company solution to this is install the OEM Vista which came along. i had a compaq laptop & i installed win XP. i got the same problem. the customer care told me to install visa again!

[jhmac77]

I have WinXP with ASUS M2A-VM motherboard but this problem is epidemic. Check all the internet forum sites with this problem. I contacted ASUS and RealTek but no answer yet. Only thing I know to do is erase all program RealTek audio files and do a clean install with a different registry. I told ASUS to do not used Realtek audio anymore (boycott)and sent the ASUS letter to Realtek telling them the epidemic problem.

I am not ready to reinstall XP a 3rd time in 3 days so I will us my Creative sound card instead.

Can u post the hardware ID of of ur sound device? May be i can help.

• Goto 'Device Manager'
• Right click on your Device and click Properties.
• Then go to "Details" tab.
• In there you'll find a list box.
• Scroll to Hardware ID and you'll see 2 to 3 hardware IDs in the below box.
• Post all of them.

What is the exact issue that you are facing?? i mean that are you getting any kind of error message when you are using the sound and audio device ? have you tried installing the latest driver for the same?? you can try downloading High Definition Audio Device driver from the manufacturer site as well and see if it is helping.
