Download and install the device drivers for some audi device / sound (hardware) is installed on your computer.
Not knowing what brand specific & model computer and/or what brand specific & model device audio, high fidelity, you have, at this stage I can't better direct you to exactly what you need - but you should be able to review the specifications of your computer on the web site of builders/drivers/support download and get what you need.

I was at work DJ in a club and my computer froze and unresponsive. After that I turned off to restart it gave me this 3FO error code... I need to know how to recover my files on there I have a * beep * load of music that I can't afford to lose.
Hello
It sounds like the hard drive may have failed, so first try the procedure below to see if you can save your files.
A possible way to try to recover your files from a disk non-boot is to follow the process described in the link below. The CD of the Ubuntu operating system you create can launched from the CD alone (IE it doesn't have to be installed on the hard drive) and I've often found to successfully extract data even a hard failure. When you created the CD, follow the instructions and see if you can save your existing files.
Kind regards

Downgrade from Vista to XP Pro Dell Inspiron 6400: no sound, error Code 10
Downgraded from Vista to XP Pro (V. 2002) on my Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop. Have installed Service Pack 3.
Audio will not play (I get beeps of warning system but that's all, there isn't a problem with the hardware).
In Device Manager, there is a yellow exclamation by the "IDT High Definition Audio Codec" under sound, video and game controllers.
Dxdiag shows NO device installed.
NO device does appear as installed anywhere.
I tried the updated drivers, did NOT work. Get the error code 10.
Automated fix - it doesn't include troubleshooting for audio.
Does anyone have a solution?
DM1313,
This system comes with 3 different sound cards to choose from. You can view download driver sound options by clicking below.
Thank you

Thank you
Harmony
I really appreciate your response, however, I was able to solve it with the system restore and reinstallation of several windows updates.
It turned out that a third-party software was the culprit. Once I made this discovery, I reinstalled the software uninstalled, and carried out the system restore and updates.
Thanks again!
