Realtek AC'97 Audio (Code 10)

[billdobeans]

I have a HP Pavilion zv6000
amd 64 3200 +

I used the Realtek AC'97 Audio driver when I had x64 vista business and the sound worked fine.

I used the same driver with W7 and I get and error that says This device cannot start. (Code 10)

Has anyone had luck fixing this issue or had the same problem.

i had a problem with my ac'97, not sure if that was the error code, but it was saying i had no audio installed, have you tried the lastest version from the website? i am running 6.01.6293 (16/09/2008) and after installing this version it was OK

Any luck?

Can you post the link to that driver (6.01.6293)? I'd like to test. (pvaillion zv5000)

Thanks

although the file date looks outdated on the website.

i just checked my windows update history and it appears windows updated it after i installed the above:

no sound on realtec

one more option to check is in control panel, find the sound option and make sure the output you intend to use is set to on and/or is the default. I am noticing a trend (good) that some defaults are set to off, which is what I found for the digital output on my pc.
hope this helps, so far I am very impressed, moreso than the vista beta

I too am having the same error code 10. I have the latest driver both form Realtek & from Windows Update. Installs fine, reboots, and still error 10. Sounds in Control Panel shows no audio device detected. Any more ideas? Onboard sound Realtek VIA AC97 on a PC Chips M811LU Athlon 1800 1.5Gb DDR

 

[lmburton]

have you tried deleting the device from device manager and then rescanning for new hardware?

i have solved a few problems with onboard devices using this method. other than that, ia am out of ideas.

something happened here with this driver. On initial install win7 installed the driver just fine.... then after some play with windows, installing other programs, non audio-type but plenty of other drivers and such, the sound failed to work.

Even an uninstall or update drivers did not work of course. MS still said it had the best drivers and device was working properly. Well, no it wasnt.

I had this same sorta problem on laptop. Win7 only wanted to install the HD realtek drivers. That gave me no sound at all.

Eventually i tried and tested a few other drivers to find out the best one out there is the Vista_R12.zip from Realteks website. I tried the "Vista APO" driver, but it didnt work true for me, while the R12 worked without a hitch.

I have this same issue, for some reason any driver I download does not work Code 10 error time after time.

Should this work?

Here is the link for the vista driver R2.14. Dated 2009/1/9

I have found this to work with no problem. Also has the 3D SoundBack beta 0.1 (audio effect/enhancement for Vista) not tested by me yet.

 

[iPhillip]

Thank you will keep you posted on whether this works for me.

[TripOG]

[iPhillip]

Atm the moment I'm downloading these, not sure how they'll do but anything is worth a try.

New Realtek AC'97 audio drivers for Vista x64 - Windows x64 Edition

 

[TripOG]

what model is your pc?

 

[iPhillip]

Model? If you mean like is it built by Dell or something, I can't give you that information because its pretty much home built

To install a driver manually its still done through device manager but I select a folder correct?

 

[TripOG]

oh i see, i was just trying to figure out it was the same sound card as my buddys but if its a desktop chances are no.

 

[Digger]

ahh, i failed to realize that you were on x64.... my reply/links were for x86... atleast thats what i have tested on

 

[Eiber Azuaje]

Same error here! Would there be anything we could do to get 5.1 sound back?

Realtek AC-097 code (10)

I have tried all the links to fix my NO AUDIO. Nothing works. I can not find the R2.14, it must be superseeded. I hve an HP zv5330us and I had both Realtek and Soundmax. When I went to Vista I had to remove Realtek, in the registry also. Then SoundMax was great. Went to 7 and not hearing a thing. Any idea where I should look for a remedy? Whenever I go to the HP site it basically tells me to buy a new computer.
