These are some fixes for no sound from your Microsoft Windows operating system integrated sound devices. You may receive error “code 22” or “this device cannot start code 10”, with your Microsoft Windows operating system sound devices. You can browse to “Start” then go ahead and select “Control Panel”.
While in control panel you can browse to “System” then choose the “Hardware” tab. While you are in the Hardware tab, you can select “Device Manager”. Now while in device manager you can right click and select “Enable” on the device you are getting that error code twenty two 22 message.
If that device will not enable, then you can right click on that device again and this time select “Delete”. You can press the “Scan for hardware changes” icon. Microsoft Windows operating system will attempt to find that device again.
If you have Microsoft Windows operating system updates enabled that driver should be downloaded and installed again. You may be prompted for a Microsoft Windows eXPerience installation compact disc read only memory. Another possible fix is to try going into device manager and this time browsing into the properties of that audio codec driver.
Instead of deleting and reinstalling the audio driver, you can try to roll back the audio driver for that particular hardware device. If that does not work you can try booting your computer into Microsoft Windows operating system safe mode by pressing your F8 key after the computer system basic input output system message flashes on your screen. You can choose “Last Known Configuration”.
Another option you can select is to try performing a Microsoft Windows operating system restore. Finally, downloading and installing drivers for that problematic sound device, directly from your computer manufacturer’s website would be a preferred fix rather than performing a Microsoft Windows operating system restore. Believe it or not, some sound devices will fail or function with problems, when using a Microsoft Windows operating system driver rather than the device driver from the manufacturer.
Exploring the Sound of Microsoft Windows Operating System: A Journey through Time
Introduction:
When we think about Microsoft Windows operating system, our thoughts often center around its user-friendly interface, powerful performance, and wide array of features. However, an often overlooked aspect of this iconic operating system is its sound. From the familiar start-up jingle to the gentle chimes of notification alerts, Microsoft Windows operating system has crafted a unique auditory experience throughout the years. In this blog post, we will take a trip down memory lane, exploring the evolution of Microsoft Windows operating system sound and its impact on end user experience.
The Early Days - a Humble Start:
Microsoft Windows three point one 3.1, released in nineteen ninety two, was the first operating system version to introduce sound capabilities. Although primitive, it marked the beginning of the Microsoft Windows sound journey. The startup sound of Microsoft Windows three point one 3.1 was a simple yet remarkable chord composed by Brian Eno. This sound, often referred to as "The Microsoft Sound," became iconic, laying the foundation for future generations of Microsoft Windows' audio identity.
Microsoft Windows 95 - a Turning Point:The release of Microsoft Windows ninety five 95 operating system introduced us to an entirely new sound scheme. Building upon its predecessor, Microsoft Windows ninety five 95 brought in additional sound effects such as closing a window, error prompts, and the infamous "ding" sound for alerts. These subtle audio cues enhanced user experience by providing auditory feedback, making interactions more intuitive and engaging.
Microsoft Windows eXPerience - a Dynamic Leap:
Microsoft Windows eXPerience, released in two thousand one, further refined the audio experience with a new range of sound schemes. The introduction of the "Luna" theme marked a significant departure from previous versions. It featured softer and more calming sounds in lieu of harsh buzzes, enhancing the overall end user experience.
The distinct startup sound, composed by Brian Eno once again, beautifully encapsulated the serenity and optimism of the new millennium.
Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows 7 - Enhanced Immersion:
With Microsoft Windows Vista operating system in two thousand six and later Microsoft Windows operating system seven, Microsoft focused on immersing end users in a sensory experience. These Microsoft operating systems featured high-quality audio effects and dynamic soundscapes, highlighting interactions through subtle sound patterns. From the futuristic glass-like tinkles to the mesmerizing shutdown tune, Microsoft's audio design team aimed to build an immersive environment where sound became an integral part of the Windows experience.
Microsoft Windows 8 and 10 - Modern Minimalism:
In an era of sleek design and minimalism, Microsoft Windows eight operating system toned down the soundscapes compared to previous versions. The focus shifted towards simplicity and unobtrusiveness, with lighter and shorter sound effects. Microsoft Windows ten operating system, which propelled the operating system into the current era, maintained this trend but retained a few familiar sound cues.
The Microsoft Windows ten operating system startup sound retained the essence of previous iterations while incorporating a more contemporary touch.
In Conclusion:
The sound of the Microsoft Windows operating system has evolved significantly over the years, impacting user experience in subtle yet profound ways. From the humble beginnings of Microsoft Windows three point one 3.1 to the modern minimalism of Windows ten, each generation has left its auditory mark. The well-crafted soundscapes have not only served as functional audio cues but have also become synonymous with the Microsoft Windows brand.
As we venture into the future, we can expect Microsoft to continue evolving the audio experience, reimagining new ways to engage our senses and enhance our interaction with Microsoft Windows operating system. So, next time you boot up your personal computer or hear a Microsoft Windows notification, take a moment to appreciate the auditory journey it represents.

computers calm here with hopefully
0:07
another potential fix for a problem you
0:10
are receiving with your computer this
0:12
deals with audio troubleshooting fixes
0:14
for no sound with Windows devices I
0:17
filed this under operating system
0:18
problems fixes for no sound from Windows
0:22
integrated sound devices you may receive
0:25
code 22 or this device cannot start code
0:30
10 with your Windows sound devices go to
0:33
start then go to control panel so in
0:38
integrated devices meaning built-in
0:42
audio device in your computer and you
0:47
might receive both of those error codes
0:49
10 or code 22 or if you go into the
0:53
device manager you'll see a yellow
0:55
exclamation point and that's a big
0:59
yellow flag that your audio might not
1:03
work because the drivers are probably
1:06
corrupt so continuing on in control
1:09
panel go to system then select Hardware
1:11
tab in Hardware tab select Device
1:14
Manager while in device manager
1:15
right-click and select enable on a
1:18
device you are getting that code 22
1:20
message or a code 10 or a yellow
1:23
exclamation point if that device will
1:26
not enable then right-click on that
1:29
device again and this time select delete
1:32
and then press a scan for hardware
1:35
changes icon windows will find that
1:38
device again so in device manager since
1:45
you already selected a device and then
1:48
you tried to enable it but it wouldn't
1:52
enable because you might have a red X 2
1:57
on that device but when you try to
1:58
enable it just for whatever reason won't
2:00
enable you've already then you should
2:04
see a little hardware icon on the little
2:08
toolbar in device manager it looks just
2:11
like basically like a little computer
2:13
with a search glass and then you just
2:18
click on that and then that will scan
2:20
for any hardware changes so that's
2:22
that's why you want to delete that item
2:26
out of there because then and then you
2:28
go ahead and scan for hardware changes
2:30
windows your Windows operating system XP
2:33
Vista 7 8 well then look for that device
2:37
again and then this is where I continue
2:41
on if you have Windows updates enabled
2:44
that driver should be downloaded on XP
2:47
Vista 7 8 as long as you have been using
2:50
Windows updates and you have it enabled
2:52
it will automatically go out into
2:55
microsoft's database over the internet
2:59
windows up using windows updates and
3:01
then it will download drivers again and
3:03
hopefully it will successfully install
3:06
drivers for that device and hopefully it
3:08
will work
3:10
you may be prompted for a Windows XP
3:13
installation CD obviously that is if you
3:17
were running Windows XP obviously if
3:19
you're on Vista it might prompt you for
3:21
a Vista CD Windows 7 it'll prompt you
3:24
for a Windows 7 CD same with Windows 8
3:27
Windows 8 CD another fix is to try going
3:32
into device manager and this time going
3:35
into properties of that audio codec
3:39
instead of deleting and reinstalling try
3:43
to rollback a driver for that device if
3:47
that does not work you can try booting
3:48
your computer into Windows safe mode by
3:51
pressing your f8 key after a system BIOS
3:53
message flashes choose last known good
3:56
configuration so instead of okay so you
4:01
try to enable it didn't fix that you
4:03
deleted it then you reran the hardware
4:07
devices change scan that didn't fix it
4:10
but it did download drivers again but
4:13
that still didn't fix it you can go into
4:16
the device into the device properties
4:18
and then just roll back that driver you
4:23
can roll it back to a previous version
4:25
perhaps there's just
4:26
kind of snafu with your windows computer
4:30
where a more recent current version of
4:33
driver so that audio device just will
4:35
not work
4:36
stubborn computer and then yes booting
4:43
it into safe mode by pressing your f8
4:45
key after a bio system message flashes
4:48
and then you choose last known good
4:51
configuration it might just be some
4:53
snafu where if you do select last known
4:57
good configuration it will reset
4:59
settings for your audio device and
5:01
hopefully it will work and then you
5:03
would no longer receive a as a above
5:06
here a code 10 or a code 22 and you
5:10
should no longer see a yellow
5:11
exclamation point finally if none of
Drivers
5:17
these tips work yet here's another one
5:20
another option is to try performing a
5:22
system restore
5:23
finally downloading and installing
5:26
drivers for that problematic sound
5:27
device directly from your computer
5:30
manufacturers would be a preferred fix
5:32
than performing a system restore so
5:35
instead of continuing on and then
5:36
confusing you what you could do is you
5:40
could go out to your device's
5:42
manufactured website instead of using
5:44
Windows Microsoft Windows updates
5:47
drivers let's say you have a real tech
5:51
or a onboard sound blaster on board or
5:58
on board real tech you can go try to
6:01
find the drivers for your hardware
6:03
device go to their website find the most
6:06
current version that they still that
6:09
they have available download them to
6:11
your computer
6:12
and then run that installer and then so
6:15
hopefully that will reinstall drivers
6:18
and you might require a reboot I
6:21
recommend rebooting it but usually
6:23
you'll find out real quick whether that
6:26
fix your issue or not but sometimes with
6:28
drivers you have to reboot and then you
6:32
try to see if audio works on your
6:37
integrated device
6:40
built-in audio device sometimes you with
6:43
windows it gets finicky and you have to
6:46
try to rollback drivers or delete
6:48
devices or upgrade drivers or delete
6:53
from device manager scan for hardware
6:58
changes or sometimes you have to go out
7:00
to the manufacturers and use their
7:02
drivers instead of Microsoft's so I
7:05
guess perhaps your last potential fix at
7:10
least for this video is a system restore
7:16
some sound devices will fail or function
7:19
with problems when using Microsoft
7:21
drivers that exactly that's why I
7:23
recommend a lot that if you cannot get
7:25
the Microsoft sound drivers to work just
7:28
try to find your man you've manufactured
7:32
drivers for that audio device or really
7:36
any hardware device on a computer
7:38
running Microsoft Windows operating
7:40
systems some people instead of going
System Restore
7:48
through all these steps they
7:50
automatically just perform a system
7:52
restore some that that might that's
7:55
protocol for some companies or some some
8:00
computer technicians they just they
8:03
don't reason why I don't always
8:05
necessarily go to a system restore is it
8:08
can take a while on XP Vista 7 Windows 8
8:12
it can take you know an hour half an
8:16
hour depending on the speed of your
8:17
computer how much RAM etc how healthy
8:23
your computer is in mine it can take an
8:25
hour maybe longer sometimes it depends
8:29
on how big your windows system is
8:32
because over time you've installed
8:34
software and so if you have a lot of
8:36
software installed it can take a while
8:38
for a system restore it what a system
8:40
restore will do is and you have to make
8:43
sure you have it enabled XP Vista 7 8
8:48
you go into system restore
8:53
the control panel and then will what you
8:59
then you have to remember when the last
9:02
time your sound device worked if you if
9:05
you can remember I'm assuming that's
9:08
pretty vital you know my windows
9:11
computer sound doesn't work well gee I
9:14
mean you might notice it right away but
9:17
so you should with something like that I
9:20
would think that that would be pretty
9:21
obvious you want to get your sound
9:22
working so then you select a date in the
9:26
past that you remember or you know a
9:29
ballpark within a week you have to be
9:32
specific but just try to remember when
9:36
all it was last week or I haven't used
9:38
my computer in a couple of weeks but I
9:40
remember a couple of weeks ago I
9:41
installed some Windows updates and then
9:44
you're like so then you want to pick
9:46
that date in the past and then your
9:50
computer will get restored to that date
9:53
well it will do it will it will restore
9:55
Windows settings including software and
10:00
drivers back to the way it was two weeks
10:04
ago if that's when you picked the date
10:07
that day you picked was two weeks ago
10:10
sometimes Windows updates will cause
10:13
problems or Hardware drivers or you
10:16
install some software you install some
10:18
brand new software and for whatever
10:20
reason during the install it just
10:23
conflicted with your Windows drivers and
Clean Up
10:28
then another tip before I run is that
10:31
you can always try to clean up your
10:34
computer
10:35
my preferred software I prefer is
10:38
ccleaner but there's plenty of other
10:41
free software on the internet that are
10:43
similar to ccleaner whatever your
10:45
preferred software is you don't have to
10:47
necessarily use any of the software that
10:50
I recommend or that I even talked about
10:52
but you want to do a file scan and a
10:56
registry scan and you want to clean up
10:59
temp files internet cache files that
11:03
were left behind when you went to
11:05
uninstall other
11:07
programs and then a registry scan is
11:10
similar it looks for on necessary
11:13
registry entries and then it'll clean it
11:16
up sometimes that will fix your issue
11:18
sometimes it's just some kind of
11:20
corruption in Windows registry or just
11:23
some setting where if you run a registry
11:27
scan it will clean out unnecessary
11:30
registry entries and then when you go to
11:34
reinstall drivers or reinstall software
11:39
sometimes that fixes issues so system
11:45
restore works quite often but it can
11:48
again reason why I don't necessarily
11:50
recommend that right it's up to you
11:52
though it's your obviously your free
11:54
choice you can always try to fix your
11:56
windows issues using System Restore
12:02
but it can be a lengthy process I know I
12:07
get I would recommend I do recommend
12:09
performing us a system restore because
12:12
sometimes you just spend too much time
12:13
you're just wasting time if you sit
12:15
there and try to enable device and then
12:19
you delete it and then you rescan for it
12:21
then you try to downgrade drivers you
12:25
back roll them you roll them back well
12:28
then you go out to the manufacturers and
12:31
then try to install their drivers then
12:35
then finally you try to clean up your
12:38
registry and then clean up your hard
12:41
drive well by that time it could be
12:44
hours or just it depends on how long it
12:47
takes you to perform all these
12:49
troubleshooting steps but though but
12:53
sometimes there can be problems with
12:55
System Restore I mean usually it works
12:57
but it can take a long long time and
13:01
then what happens is people were you
13:04
know that all of a sudden they need to
13:06
get their work done or they need to get
13:07
access to the email their email or the
13:10
internet and then they have to wait for
13:12
system restore and if they've never run
13:15
it before they don't realize that it can
13:16
take hours it really can
13:20
so and then you never you never really
13:24
want to reboot a computer while it's
13:27
running
13:27
System Restore you do not want to touch
13:29
it you have to let it perform its
13:32
operation because basically what it does
13:35
is it rollbacks all changes to your
13:38
computer and that can take a while
13:42
because it has to scan the registry then
13:44
it has to roll back those changes and
13:46
then it has to reboot and then put those
13:49
changes back so no bueno muy mall do not
13:54
do not power off a Windows computer or
13:57
reboot it while it's running
13:59
System Restore and then perhaps you
14:02
never knew that but now you do I'm just
14:05
warning you beforehand that System
14:07
Restore can take a while and then I
14:09
recommend like in these instructions and
14:11
then in the destruct destruction in
14:15
instructions for this YouTube video I
14:18
will leave a link to this blog post so
14:22
that you can read them on your own free
14:25
time because I highly highly recommend
14:27
any time that you run reallyyou I
14:31
recommend if you run ccleaner or
14:34
malwarebytes or even a virus scan
14:39
anything that requires scanning your
14:42
computer
14:43
I recommend booting it into safe mode
14:46
its price sometimes you need to download
14:50
updates for malwarebytes or C cleaner or
14:54
antivirus whatever then you want to boot
14:56
it into Windows safe mode with
14:58
networking but when you boot it into
15:01
safe mode there's a lot of drivers that
15:02
don't get loaded and so that could be a
15:05
problem that might be what's causing
15:07
your conflict and so when Windows is
15:11
booted in normal mode you might think
15:13
certain issues get fixed but not
15:16
necessarily so hopefully after all these
15:21
tips including
15:23
System Restore you will be able to
15:26
listen to your computer because there
15:28
isn't that why you bought it isn't that
15:30
one really stunning what's the point of
15:33
having
15:33
Internet or listening to podcasts if if
15:37
obviously your windows audio device and
15:40
alone works and then I know I wrote this
15:42
blog post for integrated devices but
15:45
these tips are basically the same for an
15:49
external audio device they well that you
15:52
bought yourself you upgraded to a more a
15:57
very expensive PCI Emma do sound card I
16:02
just helped somebody fix their computer
16:06
and so I wrote down these instructions
16:10
and then I try to put it in a blog that
16:13
was put more into layman's terms and
16:20
less technical and so that's why a lot
16:23
of my blog posts they are specific to a
16:25
certain issue that one person had with
16:28
their computer but certainly on this
16:31
blog post these tips will I mean the
16:33
same process as if you had an external
16:36
sound card that you installed yourself
16:39
anyways you can always browse to any at
16:41
computers comm for other potential fixes
16:45
for your most common computer problems
16:47
think you look for listening
