Help - Audio Service is NOT running - Windows Vista

Hello

I checked several websites & forums solution to my problem before asking the question here. A week Audio feedback from my computer started to give me problems. At first the audio suddenly stops during normal operation & would not return unless I restart my system. Then I tried to reinstall my audio driver & has managed to do this. But now, I see an 'X' mark next to the sound icon in my bar of tasks & says 'Service Audio does not work' here is the penalty shot I made:

--> Administrative Tools Panel--> Services

Plug & Play is WE & auto

Multimedia is ON & Auto

Windows Audio Endpoint Builder is stopped

Windows audio is stopped.

I tried to start Windows audio endpoint builder & the following error msg appears:

"windows didn't start the generator service of audio endpoint of windows on the local computer.

"Error 0 x 80070002: the system cannot find the file specified."

Under path to the executable, I have seen that it is looking for a file named svchost.exe.

File seems to be present at the location even if nothing seems to happen when I try double clicking on it.

Please help solve this problem. Because I bought a HP laptop with Windows Vista, they don't give me a Vista DVD separate to try & reinstall everything again.

Help

Make sure that the

Generator endpoint Windows Audio isenabled

and

Start the Service Windows Audio. (Found on the top left corner of the dialog box)

  • Problems with error Windows Audio and Control Panel "one or more of the audio service is not running.

    I'm a bit of a technophobe, but I'll try to explain my problem, I got better.  I recently had a problem with Windows 8 and refreshed my system.  After refreshing, I installed AVG Anti-virus and that's where my problems really started.  After installing AVG I have no sound and my control panel usually pop up.  The box is displayed but there is nothing in it and it sorts just of sticks, frozen.  I tried the fixes recommended to fix my sound. The speaker in my taskbar icon has a red x on it and when I try to open it it goes right to the problem-solving mode, then comes up with "one or more of the audio service is not running.  When I try "run services.msc' and try to start Windows Audio through Services I get error 0x800706cc.  I tried to uninstall AVG and reboot, but it did make a difference.  Please help, this leads me to the madness now.  Nothing I try seems to work!

    Installation of AVG is when the problems started, I would start by undoing that.  Since the normal uninstall did not help, use system restore to return to a work situation.  Check here and use the #1 option.

    Hello

    Try the following.

    Download IDT Audio Installer on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp55001-55500/sp55026.exe

    One time finished, open windows control panel, open Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers.  Right click on the IDT device and select uninstall - also, you should get a command prompt to delete the current driver, check the box allow this and then proceed to uninstall.

    When you are finished, download and reinstall the Chipset driver at the following link.

    Once this done, shut down the laptop, unplug the AC adapter and then remove the battery.  Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds.  Reinsert the battery and plug in the AC adapter.

    Robinet tap away at the key esc that you start the computer to launch the Start Menu, and then select f10 to open the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the default values (sometimes it's f9, but the menu below indicates the correct key), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press ENTER.  Press f10 to save the setting and still use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press on enter.

    Allow Windows to fully - charge it will automatically load an audio driver, but let just this complete.  Then open your download folder, right-click on the IDT Installer and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  Once this done, do a right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar and select playback devices.  'Speakers and headphones' left click once to highlight, and then click the Set Default button - check if you now audio.

  • Any solution for "The Audio Service is not running"?

    Searching high and low on the Internet, I can't find a solution to the difficulty of the notification in the status bar:
    "The Audio Service is not working" even if my audio works.  I find that this problem exists for many people using Win7.

    I just found this link that Microsoft provided, (which means that it is indeed a problem acknowledged by Microsoft), but without any real fix.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2011656

    Hey, someone from Microsoft can we give a hint he will never be a solution to this?

    Thank you.

    Reach:

    Control Panel > administrative tools > view local Services
    It's the "service" window, it lists all system services. Find "Windows Audio", NOT "Windows Audio Endpoint Builder.
    [just click on any service, then press the letter 'W' on your keyboard, will need you the services starting with the letter 'w']
    Right-click on the "Windows Audio" service and choose "Properties".
    You will see 4 tabs, click on the last one, titled "dependencies".
    In this tab, you will see the box "this service depends on the following system components", it displays 3 services
    Next to each service, there is a "+" icon, click on it to expand the list. 2nd service 2 child services, the 3rd service will be 1 serving children.
    Now make sure that all 6 services (3-hand, 3 children) have the status of "started" in the "Services" window you opened earlier
    Most propably you will find one of these services don't work, just start all the, then try to start the service "Windows Audio" in the tab "general".
    That's all

  • Audio service does not not after download of Creative, restarts, error 0 x 80070002, the system cannot find the file specified

    Yesterday, I downloaded and installed updated Creative to my its Soundblaster card from Windows Update.  It lead me to a large download of Creative for its console related sound and SW, and things worked fine.  When I restarted this morning, there was a horrible loud hum while Windows was loading, and I made a hard stop.  When I rebooted, the buzz was gone, but the icon in the status bar indicates that the sound was off.  The sound message indicates that the audio service is not running.  I tried to restart the computer several times, but the results were the same.  I tried to restart the audio service of the Task Manager, but got an error message 0 x 80070002, the system cannot find the file specified.  Where should I go from here?

    Hi Jfklinger,

    This problem occurs because some legacy applications use files or components that were developed prior to Windows Vista. The names of these audio components may be different in Windows Vista. If the calling application uses the hard-coded file names, the new files and components could not be found.

    To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods to change the audio settings for a device.

    Method 1: use the order Volume of Windows

    To use the Volume of Windows command to change the audio settings for a device, follow these steps:

    1.right - click on the speaker icon in the notification area, and then click devices recording or reading.
    2. double-click - click the device for which you want to set the parameters. For example, double-click on Microphone.
    3. click on the levels tab.
    4. move the cursor upwards or downwards to set the desired volume level, and then click OK.

    Method 2: use Control Panel

    For control panel allows you to change the audio settings for a device, follow these steps:

    1. click on Start, click Control Panel, click hardware and soundand then click sound.
    2. click on the tab playback or recording .
    3. double click the device for which you want to set the parameters. For example, double-click on Microphone.
    4. click on the levels tab.

  • Windows Vista desktop refreshes, said the service is not running

    OK, I'm not very good with computers but learning a lot since mine has messed up. I have a desktop running Windows Vista. The computer his car slowed dow a LOT recently. I ran antivirus and malware. She had detected things and withdrawn. Still not making a faster. I tried to run an update and it says that the serivce is not running and the need to restart the computer. I did it several times and it always remains the same. Also the antivirus to update custom because he says there is a problem with the internet... but I'm not having any problem getting on the internet other then its slowness. Somewhere tells us about the service names and default paths and another says to format and reinstall Windows... anyway I have NO IDEA of what I need to do. Would appreciate any help. This is a computer that I use every day. And an antivirus may have expired between getting a new, I do not know if what counts. Also it is not updated since the beginning of September, because even the automatic update will not work. Yet once any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Sorry if it's a little confusing because I don't know how else to describe this.
