    Can anyone recommend someone to check out my home desktop pc?

    I reinstalled Windows 7 and I can't get the sound working. Probably a software

    issue with installing drivers but I can't sort it.

    Any advice appreciated.

    Try instaling driver booster, that will run a scan and update any drivers that are out of date, if not try going to the website of the pc and download the drivers from there

    Did that.....no joy.

    Getting error 10 codes. "Driver installed but device cannot start" I have uninstalled and re-installed the offending components several times but it's "error 10" that I can't crack. Also "No audio playback device installed" even though my system is exactly as it was before I re-installed Windows 7.

    Get into device manager and find the offending device and first try to update driver and if not then just uninstall it after making note of the name of it.

    On the top bar then find add or remove hardware and it should do a search. / It could say "Scan for Hardware Changes". I'm working off Win 10 right now and My Win 7 is in the Jeep and it's raining so bugger that going out.

    If not then onto a plan b

    Berty, I've covered that bit with no joy. Basically the prob is: several drivers won't install and the audio hardware isn't even detected. Windows keeps telling me "the best drivers are already installed" but "the device cannot start"

    I've spent a day trying all the possible solutions and searched the web but I now need a pro to investigate as it's beyond my (limited) ability.
