So, not that long ago, I disabled my audio controller in Bios, and re-enabled it and found out that I have to reinstall the drivers(shows up as 'Media Audio Controller' when there aren't drivers installed for it), and as I recalled my audio driver was Realtek High Definition Audio (Not sure which version) and I downloaded the drivers from the official Realtek website and I installed it, however after I installed and rebooted the computer, and still shows up as 'Media Audio Controller'. And downloaded numerous numbers of Realtek HD Audio drivers (from my motherboard official website and Realtek's website) and I even installed Microsoft UAA and installed latest chipset drivers, still no luck.

Later, I tried Realtek Ac'97 Audio drivers, they install, however they show a code 10 error.

The audio controller is onboard and I don't have the motherboard CD.

I've looked up so many different sound drivers, no luck.

I need a fix for this, badly, I am dying.

If the driver was working earlier, then a copy of it is still on your computer. Try browsing the machine for the driver or having Windows search for it, rather than making the automatic choices.

[DontDoDope]

You mean, use the 'add hardware' wizard and let it search for me?

I've tried that and it doesn't work.

[Elvandil]

No. Right-click the device in Device Manager and choose to update. Then, when it asks about automatic updating, choose not to do that and try the manual choices instead so it searches your machine.

I've tried that too, no luck, doesn't have my specific driver.
