Realtek AC'97 Audio (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.

I still have the 2.14's.... pm me if you want them

I have the same problem. Ive tried the R217 drivers and some other drivers. I think the drivers work but my output is set to "rear panel optical jack" and i cant change it.

I want it to work with the regular output.

I have tried the tips in the sticky, but I can seem to find the right registry key... I think this is the problem for most people here also.

Can anyone help?

What i have found

I have an ASUS laptop that I have used AC97 drivers on since I have owned it. Since putting on Widows 7 all that will show up is HD audio I have tried several differant downloads still nothing I can not get oboard speakers to work. I tried my set of usb speakers and wouldnt you know it they work fine. although i can sound I still would like to get my built in speakers working any ideas at all?

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

[URL="http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false"]http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false [/URL]

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.


All I could get was the R2.24 drivers for HD and I would get the Code (10) error, I uninstalled, reinstalled, tried all the different drivers here, (the ones that I could get) and to no avail, till the Vynal ones made the code 10 go away, but couldn't hear anything...... I switched back to XP Pro and all was fine in Dewyland again, so I know the onboard sound was fine, and evrything is attached as supposed to be, so I went back to win 7 and yet I am stuck without sound....... I even let it update from Vynal, and to no avail as it went right back to code (10)

yea, i posted this some months back. Now of course they are on version 2.23/24. Never heard of this Vynal you speak of. Also i just did a google search for the 2.14's if you wish to try, they are all over the net. I am still using the 2.14's .... as if it aint broke, dont upgrade, is the motto for me. I havent tried any of the other drivers to give you any feedback on them.

good luck

Thoes are the drivers I speak of, and thankx for your input.... got them but still to no Avail, maybe because the Vinyal isn't HD, and maybe because my onboard card isn't either..... going today to get a new card and see if I can just fix it thata way.....

Very good my friend. I spent a whole day and tried all of these drivers mentioned in this thread and none worked. After I downloaded Windows 2000 drivers from manufacturer website it works perfect.
Thank you Spankie

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.

Go to this thread and see if your ID matches and try this solution.

http://www.sevenforums.com/sound-audio/67656-zv6000-audio-x64-solved.html

It worked on mine.

You could possibly use the same Vista driver you said worked and modify the inf file the same way. After I modified the inf file I right clicked it and chose install.

Jim :cool:
