Why doesn't my sound card start? It reports code 10.
- by Sarim Ali
When I installed the XP for first time my sound card was working fine. But only after the first reboot it has stopped working.
Under Device Manager, the section "sound video and game controller" the entry YAMAHA Native DS1 WDM Driver, has a exclamation mark on it. On left clicking and selecting properties it shows this message "This device cannot start. (Code 10)".
On trying to update driver it says a better driver can not be found. Any idea how I can solve the issue?
Update: As suggested by harrymc I uninstalled the device "YAMAHA Native DS1 WDM Driver" , and scanned for hardware changes. The windows detected and installed the soundcard and it started working properly.BUT, after restarting the same problem occurs. So, now everytime I reboot the computer I am stuck to, repeating the process of uninstalling the device to make it work.
