High Definition Audio Device - Device Cannot Start (Code 10)

I am having a problem isolating an indication in the Device Manager with the High Definition Audio Device. I have Intel Graphics with this machine. The OS is W10 Pro. I loaded the audio driver for Windows 7 64 bit, but that did not make any difference. The Device Manager indicates that "This device cannot start (Code 10)" Driver Date 7/9/2015 / Version - 10.0.10240.16384 / Microsoft Driver Details Tab - Value = High Definition Audio Device From the Events Tab - (Information)Device HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8086&DEV_2804&SUBSYS_80860101&REV_1000\4&36c4990c&0&0301 requires further installation.     Any guidance is greatly appreciated. 

Hi  The problem HD audio device you are seeing is the Intel HDMI audio device that needs a driver. I looked around for a W10 driver for the hardware ID you posted, and can't find one. You don't need that device unless you want/need audio through the display port. The only suggestion I can offer would be to try the W7 Intel graphics driver from your notebook's support and driver page, but install it this way...so that you just target the problem audio device... Download, but don't run this graphics driver... http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=4095873&swItemId=ob_127914_1&swEnvOid=4059 Download and install this free file utility.  64 bit is the second file listed. http://www.7-zip.org/ After you install 7-zip, right click on the graphics driver file you downloaded, and select 7-zip from the list of items. Have 7-Zip Extract to: and let it extract the driver to the folder name (sp64360). Go to the device manager and click on the problem Intel HD audio device needing the driver. Click on the driver tab.  Click on Update Driver. Select the Browse my computer for driver software option, and browse to the driver folder 7-Zip created. Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked, and see if the driver installs that way. Then reboot. If you explore the driver folder 7-zip created, and open the DisplayAudio folder, you will find the setup information file that has the hardware ID you posted as supported by the driver. Whether or not this audio driver will work on W10, that I do not know. But if you want to give that a try, that would be a way to do it without messing with the actual graphics driver.

  • IDT High Definition Audio CODEC will not start. (Code 10)

    I have a dv7-1245dx laptop with Windows Vista Ultimate installed.
    Audio output seems to have a mind of its own and simply turns off.  I press the orange lighted speaker symbol close to the power switch and the audio returns, but will within minutes turn off again.
    I opened the control panel>system>device manager and uninstalled the ATI drivers and the IDT drivers.  I have re-booted the machine (warm and cold), but device mgr showed the error message above, but no issues with the ATI drivers. 
    I downloaded a file from your site (sp40220.exe) which was identified as original drivers.  I installed the software and got my sound back, but it turned off again in a few moments.
    Is this IDT device onboard or can it be replaced?  Or some other solution??
    Thanks in advance.

  • What EXACTLY are the 4 NVIDIA High Definition Audio devices on N570GTX - Win 8.1

    Hi guys,
    one of my rigs runs an N570GTX on Win 8.1 64bit.
    In Device Manager > Sound, Video and Game Controllers, there are 4 "NVIDIA High Definition Audio" listed.
    I use 337.88 drivers (NVIDIA Control Panel version 7.7.760.0).
    What is the purpose of EACH of these 4 devices:
    As a side note, my other rig running an N660GTX on Win 7 64bit only shows 1 "NVIDIA High Definition Audio" in Device Manager > Sound, Video and Game Controllers.

    Okay, by examining the devices (enabling, disabling, reading driver data), I can conclusively state that one of the drivers (in my case residing in Location 1) is exclusively tied to the HDMI port on my GPU –  when I disable it, my HDMI device (I have only one; shame, because I can't isolate the devices better) stops being listed in Windows Sound Control Panel; when I disable all other devices except that one, my audio over HDMI works fine – this leads me to believe that the other ones are not really essential codecs required for HDMI audio, but are instead related to the individual audio outputs.
    In summary, assuming the other two devices (residing, for example, in Location 0 and Location 2) are for audio output on DVI ports (usable via DVI->HDMI adapter/cable), there's still one NVIDIA High Definition Audio device (residing in, say, Location 3), which doesn't seem to be in use in relation to some sort of global codec mechanism (since I can disable it without affecting my HDMI port audio output), that is unaccounted for!
    Any idea what other output can the remaining device be linked to, since GTX570 has no S/PDIF pass-through connector on the board itself (to connect it to the motherboard's S/PDIF output)?
    Could the remaining device be there only as a legacy stub for S/PDIF connector which was present on the pre GeForce 400 Series cards, since they share the same NVIDIA drivers with the post-Tesla series?
    But in that case, why does my GTX660 list only one NVIDIA High Definition Audio device in Win 7 64bit?

    Apart from the sound you can get through HDMI (which would be 1 or 2 of these in management), it provides your board with some "HD Sound Drivers" which takes another 1 or 2 of these.
    I have quite few of these too even on my old laptop (with Nvidia card): x4 Nvidia High Definition Audio, x1 Cyberlink WebCam, x1 Realtek HD and x1 Bluetooth sound.
    Your specs read that you have a GTX770 running on Win 7 64bit; do you also have four of the Nvidia High Definition Audio devices? Or just one? Thanks!

  • U530 Touch - Audio DRIVER ERROR - This device cannot start (Code 10) - Windows 7

    U530 - High definition audio device - ERROR - This device cannot start (Code 10) Windows 7, please see the picture

    I got all drivers up to date including the BIOS, everything is working fine (the sound works, microphone works...) but this error is kind of annoying to my eyes so if anyone know how to fix it please help.
    I tried to uninstall this and let windows update install it again => not worked, same problem.
    I tried to re-install the Realtek driver (uninstall - restart machine - install - restart machine) => same problem
    And another probelm which has not been solved yet is the Bluetooth icon keep blinking on battery mode (windows 7), you can see more in this thread

    What kind of reinmstall did you perform?  If you used the recovery media, then this will be pretty simple. Boot to the recovewry media again and this time select the Reinstall drivers and applications option. Find the audio driver on the list of available drivers, put a tick in the box to its left and then click on the install button in the lower right hand corner of the window. The driver will be installed.  Your list will be different than the following one, but this is only an example.

  • IDT High Definition Audio Codec Cannot Start Code 10

    I accidentally turned off my HP dv6 in the middle of a security update. When I turned it back on all the audio, usb, bluetooth, and network drivers had failed. I, having no experience with this kind of issue, took it to the local laptop repair shop. They backed up my computer on their network and re-installed windows. When I picked it up the internet and the sound seemed to be working so I paid and left. After a few days of messing around on my computer I realized that Beats by DRE was nowhere to be found! I looked for the answer online and tried to download IDT high definition audio but I keep getting this error! I want beats by DRE back! What do I do?!
    The Bluetooth doesn't work either -  _ -

    You can find drivers specific to your model by using the link at top of this page titled "Support" &  then "Drivers".
    You may want to order Recovery Media to restore the laptop back to factory settings since it appears the repair shop did not do a reinstall using your Recovery partition on hard drive which would have reinstalled Beats and other original drivers/software.

  • HP ENVY TS 15 Notebook PC: Problems installing audio driver (High Definition Audio device)

    Hello all,
    My product is the HP ENVY TS 15 Notebook PC.
    Product number: E3B65PA#AR6
    OS: Windows 8.1 64-bit
    A few days ago, I  upgraded my windows from windows 8 to windows 8.1 and found that no sound coming from the HDTV when connecting my HDMI cable however video is perfectly fine. I was completely baffled because the audio was working perfectly fine before upgrading to Windows 8.1. I have tried several solutions posted on other forums, such as installing other drivers, and uninstalling the IDT High Definition Audio Driver and then scanning for a hardware change. I have checked the HDMI cable and it is working fine with other laptop.
    Device manager is showing 2 device :
      High Definition audio device ( Showing yellow traingle)
      IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
    When I am opening the properties of High Definition audio device it is showing :
    This device cannot start (code 10)
    {Operation Failed}
    The requested operation was unsuccessful.
    If anyone knows how to fix the problem, please help me
    thanks in advance

    Hi:
    The IDT audio driver (notebook speakers) appears to be working fine.
    The problem is probably with the Intel graphics driver which  controls the HDMI audio.
    My recommendation would be to install the latest Intel graphics driver from the link below and see if that fixes the problem.

  • How to solve High Definition Audio Device issue on Vostro 5470

    I have a Vostro 5470 and after installing Windows 8.1 Professional, I'm getting the following issue.
    "This device cannot start. (Code 10)
    {Operation Failed}
    The requested operation was unsuccessful."
    Does any one have any idea how to fix this? I have downloaded the most recent version of the drive from dell support site, but nothing!

    Make sure the Windows Audio Service is running.
    vmrocha
    I have downloaded the most recent version of the drive from dell support site
    You can only get the Realtek audio driver from Dell, not the High Definition Audio Device driver. That one is the Windows native audio driver. To update it you would have to let Windows go online to search for an update from Microsoft.
    From your screen shot it appears that both the Realtek audio driver and the Windows native audio driver ("High Definition Audio Device") are both showing. Normally only one would show up in the Device Manager. I would try re-installing Windows and not installing any Realtek driver. Without a Realtek driver Windows will install its native driver and produce audio. If it failed to do that then the error would be due to hardware failure or some kind of problem within Windows.

  • No audio from HDMI output because High Definition Audio Driver cannot start (Envy 17 Quad)

    Ever since I first bought this laptop two months ago, the audio from the HDMI output has always been inconsistent. I remember it working a couple times, but there were more times when my audio driver didn't recognize that an HDMI cable was plugged in. Yes, I tried all the obvious: shutting down computer, checking disabled devices in Playback Devices, reinstalling drivers, etc. Now, when I plug an HDMI cable in, the video comes out fine but the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC does not recognize HDMI/my TV. The High Definition Audio Driver says it cannot start, but I could not reinstall nor find a download from HP's website. How can I get audio through HDMI to my TV??

  • AMD High Definition Audio Device Not Plugged In (HP Pavilion dv6-6b09sa)

    I have just booted up my HP Pavilion dv6-6b09sa (running on Windows 7) laptop to find that the sound icon has a red cross next to it and it claims that 'No speakers or headphones are plugged in'. In the Control Panel it states that the AMD High Definition Audio Device is Not Plugged In. As far as I know, I've done nothing to cause this.I have already tried:System restore to yesterday at 10pm;Instalation of a TDI driver from the HP website, however I do not know how to edit/disable/delete the old driver. I'm completely clueless about these things. Please help, I'm at a complete loss.

    This happened to me too. I own an HP Pavilion dv7-1135nr (Windows Vista). The internal hard drive stopped working, I took it to a computer repair shop, they put in a new internal hard drive, asked Microsoft for a key code and jump started the laptop. I took it home with me yesterday, watched a few videos and wondered why the sound wasn't working. The volume light on the laptop base was indicated as red (which meant the volume was off, even when the volume on the laptop screen was on). The only way I was able to hear sounds from videos was when I put my ear phones on. 
    I read somebody say that this happened to them and they restarted/rebooted their computer. I did that and, expectedly, it didn't work.  I came across this page, opened up "Device Manager," opened up "Sound, Video and Game Controllers." Right-clicked the "IDT Device" and then uninstalled it. My laptop then restarted and thankfully the sound was back up. I didn't need to download anything or right click the "IDT Installer" or "Right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button" or any of that. It thankfully came back without me having to do any of that. I restarted/rebooted my computer to see if it was a fluke, and thankfully it worked again.  Now I don't have to use my ear phones. My ears didn't like being pumped with sound, even when it was on low. My "Digital Display Audio" is still not checked green. It says that it's "not plugged in." But hopefully I won't run into this problem again in the future. Because if I'm a week or two or a month removed, the repair people I initially went to for my internal hard drive problem, will say that this was a separate issue caused by me and will charge me extra, when it was in fact caused by them (not maliciously of course, I guess this kind of thing happens when you replace a hard drive, as do a lot of other things which I'm not beginning to see). Thanks DavidPK.

  • Intel 9965 Device cannot start (Code 10) fix

    I just wanted to report my experience upgrading from Vista Basic to XP Pro on my new T61.
    The laptop came with Vista, I upgraded to XP Professional Service Pack 3.  Everything worked with the Lenovo downloadable drivers except the sound card, which would not install the correct drivers, and the Intel 4965 Wifi card, which would accept the drivers but would always give me a "Device cannot start (Code 10)" error and the wifi light wouldn't go off and on with the wireless switch on the front of the laptop.
    The sound card would not install the correct drivers because the 888111 SP2 patch would not patch SP3, even though this particular UAA driver problem has not been fixed in SP3.  I got around this by downloading kb888111.exe, opening the file (the .exe) with WinRAR, and extracting all the files to a temporary directory.  Running the file directly won't work.  From here you can either do a direct .inf driver install, or point the device manager to the temp dir while doing a device manager driver update.
    The Wifi problem was much more elusive, but ended up being easier to fix.  A simple BIOS update was all it needed.
    I used the update found at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-67988
    I am also using the latest driver from Intel instead of Lenovo's, which is a tad old.  Either will work - I don't think this was a driver problem at all.

    Great news, I did more research on the standard PCI slot and decided to dig deeper into the bios. I found a setting for the PCI frequency setting. It was set to auto so I switched it to manual and selected the lower of the 2 options thinking since this card was designed a decade ago it might not register properly at the higher frequency (I think the 2 options were 37Mhz and 41Mhz, don't quote me on the numbers). On reboot much to my surprise I saw device installed sucesssfully.
    Outstanding troubleshooting work!

  • Help with "Unknown Device - Location 65535 (Internal High Definition Audio Bus)" Please?

    Hey guys,
    So I recently purchased a T400 2764CTO and I downgraded it from Vista Home to XP SP3. I have been following advices from the forums on finding all the "(?) Other Devices" that needed to be installed. However, I am still stuck on the one that is posted as "Location 65535 (Internal High Definition Audio Bus)"
    I have SP3 so I believe I have the KB888111 installed. 
    I re-downloaded 6ea111ww.exe and installed it.
    I tried following http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/Conexant-Audio-Driver-for-Vista-4-92-5-and-... from KBAM's advice.
    So I'm still not sure if I missed a download or something or did something wrong. Can anyone help?
    Oh, I'm not sure if this is related, but my computer won't shut down unless I manually shut it off by holding the power button. I am assuming (with lack of computer knowledge, but with some little research) that it might be these missing devices that are needed to install. So yeah, thanks!

    detran01,
    Regarding your Conexant driver issue (v3.64.7.00, for XP)...
    Saw your post and wanted to contribute.
    When you say you "downgraded" from Vista Home to XP/SP3, I gather you mean you installed Win XP "clean," as opposed to configuring the 2764-CTO for purchase with the factory Win XP "downgrade" image.
    I say this because the factory Win XP image (which now ships as SP3) will load with the basic devices properly installed. (Still, a number of drivers will not be up to date and certain optional services require user action.)
    Also, you report the machine was originally a Vista Home system.  As Lenovo's ordering system does not seem to allow substitution of Win XP for Vista Home, this pretty much confirms that you're installing XP from scratch. Indeed, while this would account for "missing" devices, it also facilitates your downloading current drivers at this time. All good.
    OK, let's start with Herik's point.
    Win XP/SP3 actually does include KB888111, so this prereq should not be an issue. Also, while Herik provides the registry key that can toggle a system's behavior between SP2 and SP3 (for purposes of Hotfix/Update installs, reporting to QFECheck and the CatRoot2 database, and running certain apps, etc.), folks should know that some MSFT packages can be troublesome if the "spoofed" registry key is used to force installation to an unintended SP level. (This behavior is a complex subject that has to do with dependencies--so generally, proceed with caution.) Nonetheless, forcing a new KB888111 install may not be a problem in this regard.
    While overshou's post correctly observes that you have not installed the Conexant modem driver (this functionality is embedded in the same chipset as the audio features), it should not be required before installing the audio driver. Still, go ahead and install the modem (which will create a separate entry in Device Manager).
    Your report and screen cap suggest that your Conexant installation is incomplete (and thus, confused). It's best to start fresh to get it right.
    Incidentally, unlike the previous release, there are no installer-package problems with v3.64.7.00 for Win XP.
    Follow the steps in this post, observing especially the procedures that ensure a clean install.

    As to your shutdown issue, have you now resolved this problem or does it persist?
