Venue 11 7130 - Code 10 error loading audio driver on Win10

Hi Npj,

I would suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the audio driver from Dell website as these drivers are tested on the Dell system. Please follow the steps mentioned below to uninstall the video card.

1. In the search box, Start typing devmgmt.msc and then press enter.
2. Select the Sound, video and game controllers listed and expand it.
3. You should find Realtek High definition audio or audio controller please right click on it.
4. Now select properties.
5. In the properties window, under Driver tab, click on Uninstall button.
6. Put Check on “Delete the driver software for this device.”
7. You want to delete the driver click OK.

After the uninstall finishes restart the system. Then reinstall the Windows 8.1 audio driver in compatibility mode. Please enter your service tag # on the link below, select the Operating system has Windows 8.1, then download the audio driver from Audio section onto the system and install it.

Please let me know if this helps.

I've executed the recommended steps and continue to have no sound.  I don't have a Sound, video and game controllers listed in Device Manager, nor do I see any reference to Realtek High definition audio controller.  I did see High Definition Audio Controller under the System Devices and uninstalled this driver then downloaded/installed the Win8.1 version of the Realtek audio driver and rebooted.  I continue to have no sound and a mouse-over of the sound icon says 'no audio device installed'. 

Based on the Event details, it looks like the Windows HDAC driver dated 7/9/2015 is being picked up in the installation.  I see the following in the Event Viewer for the HDAC device for the driver unstall/install:

I also ran a windows compatibility analysis 'Dell Audio' and get the following message -

RtkNGUI64 is incompatible.

Fix program RtkNGUI64 Completed Provides steps to fix the incompatible program. Compatibility Mode Compabitiliy modes applied: Windows 8 User verification: Fix didn't work

I tried running in Win8 compatibility and still have the issues.

Hi Npj,

I’d suggest that you update BIOS, chipset and audio driver on your computer to check for issue resolution. Please enter your service tag # on the link below, then download the BIOS from BIOS section, chipset from chipset section and audio from audio section onto the system and install it.

Thanks for your continued help....

I updated the BIOS prior to upgrading to WIN10 and just upgraded the chipset a couple weeks ago when it came out.  I don't show an audio driver under Win10, and the audio driver for Win8.1 failed.....

Do you suggest I 'reload' the BIOS and chipset?

Hi NPJ,

I would suggest you to set the BIOS to defaults. I’d advise that you load defaults in the BIOS. Please follow the steps mentioned below to load the BIOS to defaults.

1. Reboot the computer.
2. When prompted during POST, press the key to enter the setup screen.
3. On the System Setup screen, press the key.
4. Press the key on Yes to Load Optimized Defaults and restart the computer.

Also, I would suggest you to update the Windows 8.1 audio driver in compatibility mode.
