High Definition Audio Controller (Code: 10) Issue

Anonymous
2019-01-15T06:02:51+00:00

Motherboard: MSI B360M Gaming Plus

OS: Windows 10 Pro

List of things I've done:

Downloaded audio drivers from MSI website

Updated my BIOS

Uninstalled and Reinstalled the High Definition Audio Controller

cmd commands: sfc /scannow & DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

Completely removed all other audio drivers and installed Realtek audio drivers (Which for some reason never actually appear on device manager?)

I'd appreciate any help I could get.

It started happening out of the blue; I never downloaded anything.

    I´m laughing like an idiot.

    I pray you hit the lottery kind sir. You made my day brighter.

    This is just crazy how people pay a lot of cash(paid for my brand-new 1.5k euro+) for their gears and end up searching like crazy on forums for solutions.

    Soon we will need fire, hummer and fuel to fix them.

    Once again kind sir, I wish you and all your loved one all the best things from this world. 

    I bow and remove my hat in front of you.

    PS: about my username... I´m a bit frustrated

    Against my better judgment I did a factory restore on my laptop, which should have returned all devices to working order. but this was not the case. I checked the 'hidden' devices in device manager, and in addition to the erroneously placed hd audio controller, there was a phantom installed realtek audio device entry. checking it's properties,windows reported that the device was not attached to the system. UH-OH..... there are only a couple of causes for this. one is the actual removal of the device, by either turning it off, or physically removing it (neither possible in this case) or the device has an issue so bad that it has stopped working properly. I quickly determined it was a hardware issue, and quickly returned the laptop.

    when not even a factory restore or a windows repair install will fix a device issue, 99.9% of the time, it is a device issue.
