Short diagnosis and a practical plan. Error Code 10 in Device Manager most often means the audio driver failed to start (wrong, missing or corrupt driver), or the OS can not talk to the onboard codec. Because this is an OEM Packard Bell/NEC system, generic vendor lists (like ECS) frequently won't match the board markings — use the system model/serial or the board's PCI IDs to find the exact driver.

How to identify the audio device (so you can download the right driver):
Start -> Run -> msinfo32 -> Components -> Sound Device and note any names shown. If msinfo32 gives nothing useful, use a small hardware-ID utility (examples: HWiNFO, Unknown Device Identifier) or Microsoft’s devcon tool to get the PCI hardware string. Copy the PCI\VEN_xxxx&DEV_yyyy value — that string is what identifies the audio vendor/chipset.

Driver-install sequence that usually fixes Code 10:

  1. In Device Manager uninstall the audio device (remove old drivers if prompted) and reboot.
  2. Install the motherboard chipset drivers first (SiS/VIA/etc.), reboot.
  3. Install the matching audio driver for Windows 2000 provided by the OEM (Packard Bell/NEC) or the audio vendor shown by the PCI ID, then reboot again.

Other troubleshooting notes and fallbacks: check BIOS to ensure onboard audio is enabled; disable any add-in sound card to avoid conflicts; try a Linux Live CD to confirm hardware vs software; if the correct driver still fails the hardware codec may be dead — a low-cost PCI sound card is an easy, reliable fallback.
