Users who have motherboards with onboard audio (often with VIA, Realtek, or C-Mediachipsets) may have issues with their audio or AC'97 errors in Device Manager. Often this is caused because the operating system was reinstalled and the motherboard chipset drivers were not installed. To resolve this issue, review the troubleshooting sections below.
Let Windows re-detect drivers
