I'm working on a custom pc that my brother built for me. The specs are in my signature. I recently upgraded from 32 bit to 64 bit Windows 7 home premium. I did a drive reformat also. Initially, everything was fine. But for some reason all of a sudden, I have no sound, my plugged in speakers are not detected at all and the audio service is not running. Everything else is fine. I assumed it was as a result of an update, so I did a system restore. I guess my restore points didn't go back far enough. No change.
According to my motherboard specs, I have the realtek ALC888 onboard audio. So, I thought I'd just be able to install the latest hd audio driver for my os from realtek's site. I tried several times (10+). It prompts me to restart and when I do, it says that the device driver did not install correctly and it defaults to the microsoft one every time. In device manager, I have a yellow triangle next to one of the 2 "high definition audio controllers" with a code 10 error (device cannot start).
Under sound, video and game controllers, I have "High definition audio device": microsoft, driver version 6.1.7601.17514 11/19/2010. I tried manually installing the driver from the zip file by directing the update utility to it's extracted location. It always says that my driver is up to date. I'm not sure whether I'm supposed to be updating one of the hd audio controllers or the hd audio device or both (I've tried both), so I suppose i could be doing it wrong.
I've tried uninstalling the hd audio controllers and the hd audio devices and rebooting, the same thing happens. I've tried a repair install from the disc. No change. The only thing I haven't tried is reformatting my hard drive and doing yet another clean install. I really don't want to have to do this again because re-downloading my programs and music/docs/pictures is a chore. Completely reinstalled windows and still don't have any sound...I'm completely at a loss.
im new to the forums and my audio service says it is not running. i've gone onto services.msc and it says windows audio endpoint builder has started but when i try to start windows audio it says windows cold not star the audio service on local computer. Error 1079: the account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process.
On occasion when i boot up im getting a red cross on my volume control in the tray and hovering over it it says the "audio service is not running" but the service is running, i get sound and everything is working fine. Looking at the services i find windows audio service and yep its running fine & set to automatic but there is still the red cross in my tray?at the moment im having to "restart" this service to get rid of the notification and the red cross but its a pain.
I bought a Crystal USB headset yesterday, it came with no directions, no disc, no drivers, there's not even a website listed. When I plugged it in Win 7 detected it as USB speakers. Even at 1% volume it is LOUD, I had to wear my earphones on my cheeks! I tried playing with the volume mixer, but even setting other applications at 1 didn't work. Those programs (games, etc) that had additional volume control inside the application were able to turn the volume down enough to use, but any additional sounds (system sounds, etc). Is there an additional USB driver I haven't found for Windows 7? or is there a way to force the OS to recognize the USB as a headset instead of speakers?
Just picked up a new PC running Win 7 on 64 bit. For some reason, I can't get sounds, the speakers are in the monitor and they work just fine with my XP system.
I have a Dell M1330 laptop purchased some years ago which is currently running Windows 7. Despite my latest attempts to correct the audio problem, it still persists. My internal speakers are the only ones affected by this problem. When I plug external speakers into my computer they work just fine. The problem doesn't change depending on what type of audio or video I am running. I have run the windows 7 integrated driver updating software and it has said that all of my audio drivers are up to date.
I have a desktop that is connected to my Belkin router via wire. I have 3 laptops that are all connected to the router wirelessly. All computers have Windows 7 64bit and synched clocks. All are connected to a Home network. All 3 laptops detect that a Homegroup has been created on the wired desktop. I'm using the correct Homegroup password. All computers have discovery on. All computers have IPv4 and Ipv6 running. All services are running. Everything else I've read and tried regarding troubleshooting this issue haven't worked. All computers can see each other on the Network, but can't connect to the Homegroup.
I always use wired network on my laptop , coz i didnt have any wireless network at home, but sometimes i use my wireless network so its working properly back then, one time i bring my laptop at office, and try to connect it via wireless and it seems i cant detect any wireless signal, i try to use troubleshooting so i can see whats happening, i just got a message saying "diagnostic policy service is not running" then i just look at my network adapters setting , i just turn them all to enable, including bluetooth, i just see one new adapter "virtual adapter" i think this comes from installing android via virtual box, i try to disable it but no luck, i try all what i read on google search, but all is no luck, one last thing i didnt try is to uninstall my driver and go to repair options on windows 7, my original cd is professional, but i upgrade it to ultimate, i didnt know if the repair disk will work. please any help. i do not want to have a clean install of OS
Iam using windows 7, Core I5! X64 based notebook pc! Today i downloaded IE9, when i run the setup, i get a error ' cryptographic service not running, please check events log.' But cryptographic is running.
I am not sure if this problem is due to a user account issue or a printer issue.
I cannot add a printer and all my printers from Windows XP were wiped out. I use this machine for business and I did not want to do a file and settings transfer so I updated to Vista and then updated to Windows 7 from there.
I had a bunch of printers installed including a couple of wierd ones such as a FileCabinet Printer, Adobe Acrobat Writer, CutePDF writer, etc. I don't know if these strange printer drivers affected the upgrade but now I cannot add a printer. I tried services.msc and attempted to start the spooler service, it usually is already running and its on automatic. Its not that, its something deeper than that. I also right clicked the spooler service and made sure the check box was checked for allowing the user to interact with it.
I found a Microsoft post for XP: You cannot add a printer and you receive printer spooler error messages in Windows XP
Whenever I try to run Windows Update it comes up with a dialogue box that says "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer." I believe my computer is Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit. I've tried a lot of the fixes that have been posted, but none of them worked. I tried running an SFC (I think that's what it was called, sorry I'm not very computer smart), rebooting my computer, and doing a system restoreAlso, Windows Update doesn't show in services.msc. I saw one post that said something to do with Windows Security Center can make Windows Update do this, but my Windows Security Center doesn't work either. Whenever I try to turn it on, it says "The Windows Security Center service can't be started." Windows Security Center is also not in services.msc for me. I know that Windows Update worked 2 months ago, but that was the last time I tried using it
I have a Toshiba Satellite L505-S6946 running on Windows 7. None of the system volumes are on mute, the speakers properties lie and say it's working properly, I've already reinstalled device driver software, and restored Windows to an earlier date...though, no dice. I'm not totally sure what my other options are..
The audio to my laptop has been going silent on me lately, and I'm not sure if it's being disabled by something, or if there is a bigger problem going on.I don't exactly know what triggers it, it just seems to go out at random times. The only sure way I know to fix this, is to reboot my system. But I want to know why it decides to go out in the first place?I only put my system to sleep when I'm done with it, and when I'm ready to use it again I wake it up. The audio will work fine for many more sleeps, until it comes time to reboot due to strange audio loss.
I have 2 speakers, nothing fancy. And a Sennheiser USB headset. Problem is when I set my default audio device to Realtek High Def Audio, my speakers work and my headphones don't. I have to manually set the default device to my headphones, but then my speakers don't work.
I'm having some problems with event viewer. When I go to open it, it gives me the "Event Log service is unavailable. Verify that the service is running." error. I've tried going through the steps Microsoft gives for creating new log files if yours are corrupted. Problem is, the .evt file doesn't exist.
I've researched the problem a lot and I do have UxStyle Core installed which is patching the files necessary to install third party themes, and I have heard that this may cause some issues with the event log, but everyone I saw undo any patching and even rollback updates, go to previous restore points, etc.
My toshiba laptop has been telling me my anti virus cannot be run when I scroll over the wireless icon it says I am connected but only through limited connection, meaning I can't get onto the internet at all. I didn't shut anything off on my computer so if anyone knows how to get this "diagnostics policy service" to run again
I have high DPCs when the POWER service is running. If I turn it off, the DPCs go back to normal. Why? What is this trying to run that is causing this?OK, U can't tell. How can I troubleshoot this now that I know the culprit?
I have a two month old, custom built desktop running Windows 7 and last Friday, without any seeming provocation, my wireless network disappeared. My computer is completely unable to see any wireless networks. My router is working fine (I'm using it to post this from another computer), and my wireless adapter works perfectly (again, using it to post this). When I ask Windows to diagnose the problem, it tells me that the Windows wireless service is not running.After much research and several sfc scans, I can safely say that it appears to be a registry issue. System restores, both by Windows and from backups have failed to correct the errors. I've seen several possible solutions like:Run CMD as Admin... netsh winsock reset catalog netsh int ipv4 reset "c:eset.log" netsh int ipv6 reset "c:eset.log"andWindows wireless service is not running on this computer - Microsoft AnswersandGo into the registry with regedit for this:[CODE]
I have high DPCs when the POWER service is running. If I turn it off, the DPCs go back to normal. Why? What is this trying to run that is causing this? Windows 7 ultimate x64.
When I try to run the event log I get the following Event Log service is unavailable. Verify that the service is running. In the services panel it is listed as running. However it is not. I have tried system restore but same issue. I don't know if it could be turned off in the registry or just what would cause this. I think the registry was modified and for some reason I have noticed certain registry entries don't always get restored if you use system restore.
I inquired about this on Technet forums, I got a great functioning and undocumented answer. The Office Software Protection Platform service starts every time you start an Office aplication. It usually doesn't exit after you exit an Office app. If you are a process count control freak, you will be elated by this official tweak.
I've got this problem with my intex USB Audio Speakers where whenever I plug them in my Windows 7 powered laptop, they just don't work. The default audio device in Control Panel/Sounds changes automatically from my onboard High Definition Audio Device to USB Audio Device (which I think it's normal). Also, there is no problem shown in Device Manager and when I hover my mouse on the Sound icon near the clock (system tray or notification area) it shows that the USB Audio Device are the default. I contacted Intex and they first told me that it might be a laptop problem, but then I installed Windows XP - the sound works great. I installed Ubuntu - the speakers are working also. It seems like it's a problem in Windows 7. I sent them another message telling them this, but they have never contacted me again.
For some reason when I plug my headphones into the front audio jack in my computer the sound output of running applications is not moved to my headphones. The audio remains with my speakers. The converse is true too - unplugging my headphones will not transfer audio output that is on my headphones to my speakersI had run into this problem when I was originally setting up my computer and I had been able to fix it.All I had to do is set my headphones to my default sound output and the computer would switch everything when I plugged them in. My headphones are still the default audio source, but for some reason the switching no longer works.
I have just purchased a pair of bluetooth speakers (sandstrom) and a belkin Bluetooth dongle.I've paired the speakers to my pc, but I can't get the audio to stream through the Bluetooth speakers and the speakers currently attached to my pc via a hdmi cable to a surround system?
I recently bought HP dv6-6102sa laptop which comes with beats audio. Does anyone know if I have to do some settings to make sound better or it will only work with beats headsets. I've tried normal headsets and I didn't noticed any difference sound quality.Also in quick guide, it says laptop got 4 speakers but I only notice sound coming out of 2 when I play audio.
I'm at my wits end on a problem here. The sound on my computer is not working because the Realtek driver (or the motherboard, not sure which) is not recognizing my speakers that are plugged in. I get this:
I have tried to re-install any and all drivers that may be affected with no success. Tried restarting, messing with the BIOS, to no avail. What should I do now? This is seriously holding up my work (I'm a music composer).
