How to fix High Definition Audio Controller Error

Question

Hello, for around a day or so my audio has been giving me bugs, after going into device manager i looked and seen an error within the controller. This device cannot start. (Code 10) Ive been looking around the site trying to find a fix even downloading audio drivers, reinstalling them, and doing a system restore but nothing seemed to work. Is there any other way to find a fix to this?

Hi ,

In this case, it must have been a failure to start the sound driver, as it is the generic driver. I usually recommend using the recommended driver for the motherboard.

However, if it happens again, I recommend running the Windows troubleshooter:

In the search box on the taskbar, type audio troubleshooter, select Find and fix problems with playing sound from the results, then select Next.

Select the device you want to troubleshoot and then continue through the troubleshooter.

Start Menu > Settings > System > Sound > Troubleshoot.

The system model is a H370M-DS3H by Gigabyte, intel core I5 8400 24GB Ram. Just checking now it appears to be working again. But just in case is there a possible permanent fix if it happens again?
