hey there.

That means your audio codec driver doesnot meet to the sound driver.

Your installed audio driver is not the right version of ur sound card.

You need to download correct driver by downloading it through internet

Hello,

You need to provide ur sound card version on the search bar of Google. You will find lots more sites on the internet who are providing the driver.

Thanx
