Code 10 in audio driver"), here is what it means. The Windows error "This device cannot start. Code 10″ or "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" is a hardware error that most commonly means that you have a bad, missing, or incompatible device driver. So, for example, "This device cannot start. Code 10 in audio driver" means that you have a bad or missing or incompatible driver for your sound card. The technical explanation for this message, according to Microsoft, is this: "If the device has a FailReasonString value in its hardware key, that string appears as the error message. The driver or enumerator puts this registry string value there. If there is no FailReasonString in the hardware key, you receive the following error message: This device cannot start. (Code 10)" What does that mean in plain English? It means that if the device which is throwing the error has added its own custom error text to your Windows system when the device was installed, then when the device encounters an error, you will see the custom error message specific to that device. But if it doesn't have its own custom error message, then Windows uses its own generic error message
Device - This Device Cannot Start. (Code 10) Error Message: Cannot start this hardware. There was a problem installing this hardware: C-Media AC97 Audio Device Symptoms: There is no sound. When you open up Device Manager, there is a yellow exclamation mark on C-Media AC97 Audio http://www.edmartechguide.com/2009/09/c-media-ac97-audio-device-this-device.html Device.

I recently formated my pc, and re-installed windows XP pro.. installed all my drivers ect & everything was working perfect even my sound.. the next day when i switched the pc my audio device has a code 10 error? How does that work? i dont have a virus as i did scans, i tried uninstalling and re-installing all different audio drivers even older versions, just doesnt seem to work... Im getting sleepless nights with this nonsense .. damn digital signatures My pc specs: AMD 3000+ motherboard 7njl3/4 geforce 6200a 1 gig ram 120 gig hardrive. PLEASE HELP ME.. it is so damn annoying.. thanks in advance. Oct 7, 2010 #1 mike1959 TS Evangelist Posts: 1,022 +51 No sound? Try the simple things first. Speakers on and working? Plug them into a MP3 player, test that they actually amplify. Speaker plug in the correct socket in the PC? ( I mean not the Mic socket?) Have you looked in 'Device Manager' for a yellow warning by the entry for your sound option? Assume you know all the above, it's most likely still to be the wrong drivers. Go into 'Device Manager' and uninstall any sound drivers. Then go to www.drivereasy.com and download their free program, scan your PC and you will get the right driver I would think. You might also find a few other drivers out of date too. And NO it doesn't cost you to use that program. Hope this helps. Oct 7, 2010 #2 Julio84 TS Rookie Topic Starter Will try Thnx mike... Gonna gi
