Fix IDT High Definition Audio CODEC Driver Tutorial

SAN DIEGO - Oct. 30, 2016 - PRLog -- IDT High Definition Audio CODEC errors are caused by Windows 10 having an incorrect version of your audio driver on your system. A "Codec" is a piece of software used by Windows to "translate" different media formats; an audio driver takes data and sends it to the audio hardware.

The cause of the error is that Windows 10 is unable to select a compatible version of the IDT High Definition Audio driver for your system. This was an especially big problem back when Windows 10 was in beta & development-preview modes; now the main issue is the legacy interface you'll have with Windows 10. The solution is to either download the driver manually, use an automated tool, or select the right Windows driver for your system.

A tutorial has been released to showcase how to resolve this error. It explains that you need to firstly find the device that's causing problems in the Device Manager of your system, right-click and then select "Update Driver".

This will show you two options, you need to select the bottom one - "Browse my computer for Driver software". Doing this will present two further options, from which you should select the bottom one again "Let me pick driver software to use". From here, another window will appear with a list of compatible drivers for the affected hardware - select " High Definition Audio Device" and click OK. This should resolve the issue.


The tutorial explains that if this method doesn't work, it suggests you don't have the correct device driver software for your audio hardware. To fix this, you either need to download a new version of the audio driver (from the manufacturer's website) or use an automated tool to help fix any of the potential issues your system may have. The tutorial specifically recommends DriverEasy, which in our experience is a credible system.

Ultimately, the IDT High Definition Audio driver error is a problem with Windows 10 compatibility. Your hardware should be okay - it's just a matter of ensuring you're using the correct driver software.
