Hi. i got a sound problem which is disturbing me alot. Under, device manager, sound video and game controllers , i got several device which had yellow exclamation marks beside it like , microsoft kernel audio splitter , microsoft kernel GS wavetable synthesizer. the error code for all of them are code 42 (Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because there is a duplicate device already running in the system.) Restart and uninstall does nt solve the problem as the yellow ! kept coming back and i still have no sound . So people, PLS HELP ME . i really hope my sound problem will be resolved . Any help is greatly appreciated . =D Thanks alot.

you have to uninstall any thing with yellow?first,drivers etc then download what ms bookworm has said then restart pc, bookworm knows what shes doing ok,you have to get rid of any false drivers first,got it,good luck.

The yellow ! device can only be resolved once the driver is fixed. Have you ever installed a second sound card on your system? What I would do is PM Bookworm as she has already been looking at this issue.

whenever i uninstall those devices wih yellow ! it would hang my com for like 30mins before it move on . if i uninstall every devices which have yellow ! my sound will be able to work again . but the thing is that i cant permanently uninstall the yellow ! devices which will nt make them appear again .by the way , the error code is 42
