Sigmatel High Defenition Audio CODEC- Code 10 Problem

Oct 6, 2009 10:44AM PDT

Alright well I got a Emachine's W3609 computer and I have a little red "X" on my volume control.

So I decided, Why not take a look in the device manager. I see my Sigmatel Driver with an exclamation next to it.

I tried to update it, Didnt Work.
I tried to check for solutions, Nothing popped up.

If you guys need anything else to help me fix the problem then please ask.


Please help me! It's been well over a month since it quit working.

I will not vet or supply links for this one.

Try (in device manager) removing it, reboot and see if it clears up.
Good luck,
Bob

Sigmatel Fix
Jul 6, 2010 3:19PM PDT

I was stuck and couldn't figure out how to get the Sigmatel audio driver I had to work on my laptop, a Dell Inspiron. What fixed it for me was to go back to the Dell site under my model and install something under the Applications section called Sonic Solutions Application - Digital Media. Then the yellow exclamation point came off and the HD sound worked.
