If they are then leave as set . Then go back and check the other device follow path and on General Tab at bottom select to disable this device.
check if you have sound, if not go back and select the other device and go through the same procedure to enable.
Write down everything you do, so you can follow the path.

This device cannot start. (Code 10)thats what it says on the C-Media Ac97 audio devise[/quote]
elenor, just a suggestion, but have you tried Windows Update, when you get there choose Custom and in the left pane see if anything is shown for Hardware( Optional ) look to see if a sound driver is shown.
If that does not work try the driver from Packard Bell support again it's here

but this time when you install can you turn off your Antivirus programe.
As always set a SYSTEM RESTORE POINT just in case
Hope this helps
