sound problem

[charissat]

the sound on my computer is currently not working. i have ubuntu and windows xp installed in my computer. under device manager there is a yellow exclamation mark next to "via ac'97 audio codec (wdm)" it says that "this device cannot start. (code 10)". does anyone know how i can fix this? the sound works with ubuntu but not with xp. i entered bios and it says that ac97 is on auto. please help thanks!

uninstall it and restart and it should reinstall it

If the sound card is on the motherboard you'll need the motherboard CD, then do as unlovedwarrior suggests.

okay i uninstalled it, restarted then attempted to reinstall it but it said the same thing.
"there was a problem installing this hardware
via ac'97 audio codec (wdm)
this device cannot start. (code 10)

Does the sound work in Ubuntu?

I read 7 posts from a few different forums on this code 10,  when referring to your onboard audio,    the others had nothing but problems,  if all fails try this *
(taken from another guy's post / forum)

" You know what I'd do if I were you? I would reboot, go into the Bios, disable the ac97 codec and anything else associated with onboard audio..woops, that's second..first thing I would do is to go and buy a cheapo Soundblaster Live card..then do the above, then when windows detected the new hardware, pop in the included drivers disc, and go!

I'm quite serious here, if nothing else because of various problems with onboard audio that ppl have reported...I chose to just skip the above type of problem, and didn't even try to use the onboard audio on my board, and I am quite happy with that decision"

ps... i have 2 of these cards in my puters and love them *   29.00 from  wally world ~
