Windows 10: receiving Code 10 in my driver of sound

My audio suddenly stops after 2 days of not using the machine. I have Windows 10 desktop and got an error code 10 in my driver.

Sound driver off

Hi,

It's possible that your sound driver was turned off by a third-party application. To fix it, we suggest that you use the built-in Windows 10 audio troubleshooter by following these steps:

• Click Start.
• Type Troubleshoot and press Enter.
• Click Playing Audio.
• Click Run the troubleshooter.

If in case the audio troubleshooter doesn't work, use the other steps in this
article. Just click the drop-down arrow and select the other choices offered.

Let us know if you're able to restore the sound on your computer after following these steps.

 

Sound Quality

One thing that sticks out from looking at your "My Computer" specs. You list "ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)" which suggests you do not have the correct sound hardware driver. Your motherboard has Realtek sound and the first step is to install the Realtek sound drivers. My ASUS also came with Sonic Studio 2 which is a sound enhancement package. Check the ASUS install disc to see if you have something similar.

May not be a speaker problem.
