I have been experiencing problem with my PC sound system as the sound could not come up. The Volume tab under the Sounds and Audio Devices Properties window in the Control Panel is not active.

The C-Media AC97 Audio Device in the Hardware tab under the same Sounds and Audio Devices Properties window says 'The device cannot start (Code 10)' in the Device status.

I have tried series of method to Roll Back and Update the C-Media driver in the Driver tab in C-Media AC97 Device Properties window while connecting to the internet but the Code 10 would not go and the sound would not work.

I have also tried downloading related drivers and installing them on the PC but the problem persists.

Somebody help as I have solved related problems but this one is STUBBORN
