Everything’s smooth sailing now... just like a freshly paved highway. It's officially a go. Anyway, everything's working perfectly—both the wuffer and all four speakers are firing on all cylinders. I can stream YouTube, watch movies, even jump into some old-school Far Cry 1. 🤣...That's plenty for me.
Now I just need to get used to running things on Windows 10. Thanks again! 🙏
It finally worked!!!.. Finally got it running with driver version: 6.0.1.6285. If anyone else is stuck, you can grab it right here..

Man... I'm getting this error: "Windows x 64 driver version (Rtkva 64.sys) not found"
Alright, I’m gonna give that trick from the video another shot... This rig isn't some big-name prebuilt, either; it was basically a custom build back in 2005. I actually swapped out the graphics card when the old one kicked the bucket, so right now I'm running an ATI Radeon 2600 Pro..
I'm hunting down exactly what you mentioned—that setting you said I should disable.
Yeah, this thing is basically a relic from 2005. All the AC 97 drivers I can track down are made for 64-bit Windows 8 or even Windows XP... there's absolutely nothing for Windows 10. I might as well just start singing war songs at this point.
Man, this AC 97 stuff... if I'm reading this right, it doesn't even play nice with 64-bit Windows.. Gonna give the Nvidia drivers a shot instead, thanks.

It’s from that one... But everyone keeps saying it’s already installed... that AMD high definition driver which is supposedly "working properly." The thing is, I don't even have an HDMI port. I'm just working with the standard 3.5mm jack.
It’s not Soundmax... I can't find any Realtek drivers for 64-bit on this motherboard..
They only have 32-bit versions available here.

...So looks like it's back to square one with another uninstallation.. 😠
Device PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0059&SUBSYS_822C1043&REV_A2\3&241 1e6fe&0&20 requires further installation.
This shows up under the multimedia audio controller events. I’m gonna try grabbing the Soundmax drivers and this specific ID above, then I'll let you know how it goes. Seriously, thanks a ton for the help—you're a lifesaver. Honestly, I just don't get the whole "philosophy" behind Windows 10. It's like, "Hey, grab a latte and we'll handle everything," but then you spend three days fighting just to get something working that ran perfectly on Windows 3.11 for Workgroups right after a five-floppy installation... 😁
Same old story... I wiped everything out of Device Manager, ran the installer, rebooted, and—nothing. It’s like the installation didn't even happen.
You think maybe I need to kill the auto-updates in Windows? It feels like as soon as I restart, the OS just takes over and does its own thing again.
Thanks a ton, but I’m still stuck in the same loop... Basically, I go into Device Manager and uninstall both the multimedia audio controllers and the sound video game controllers. After I run the Realtek installer and reboot, that multimedia audio just shows up with a yellow exclamation mark again. Meanwhile, under sound, the video game controller says it's AMD high definition and claims it's "working properly," but when I try to update it, nothing happens—not even when I manually browse the folder where I downloaded the drivers. The only other thing Realtek mentioned was those ac97 ones, but it says they aren't compatible.
Hey there,
On my (pretty) ancient rig that’s been running flawlessly on 32-bit Windows 7, I decided to jump over to Windows 10 64
because support for my old setup is basically hitting a dead end. (Specs: Athlon dual core 4000+, 4GB RAM, M2N4-SLI motherboard... Everything went smooth, except for one massive headache: zero sound. I've been grinding at this for two days straight trying everything under the sun. The only thing showing up online is Realtek. I’ve tried every tutorial out there, nuked the drivers, even messed around with Driverscape, but nothing sticks. In Device Manager, I can see the sound, video, and game controllers, but the multimedia audio controller is stuck with a constant yellow exclamation mark. I’ve tried Windows Update and "scan for hardware changes," but no luck. Every time I uninstall everything and try the Realtek driver, after a restart, it’s back to square one—it just shows AMD high definition audio, which supposedly says it's "working properly," but under multimedia audio, that yellow warning icon is still staring me in the face. Even checked the motherboard manufacturer's site, and zilch. Just a heads-up, I had the 32-bit version of Windows 10 on this exact machine before and it worked perfectly. Since I mainly use this PC to blast music, is there a fix for this, or am I stuck wiping everything to go back to 32-bit? I really don't want to do that since I just finished setting everything else up. Thanks in advance!
Just head over to view->toolbars, check the boxes for "operations" and "standard," and you'll see all those icons for merging, splitting, and everything else pop right up.
You just click one partition and then hit "merge disk"... I mean, there’s basically zero room for error here. Of course, you'll have to reboot at the end to get everything merged into one single partition. It’s super intuitive and straightforward. Good luck!!
