Ok so this just appeared on my mams Compaq Presario c500 laptop. I've
spent hour researching and trying to fix this problem, but I keep
coming across people with a similar problem. I'll explain mine first.
My speaker icon in the taskbar has a red cross on it. When I hover my
mouse over it, it says "The audio service is not running", if I right
click it I get 3 options
1. Playback devices
2. Recording devices
3. Sounds
There is also an open volume mixer option but it's greyed out.
When I click on ay of them I get this message
This computer cannot play audio because the windows audio service is
not enabled.
Would you like to enable the windows audio service?
When I click yes it takes me to the sound options and it says all is
working, yet I still have no sound.
So I kept looking for answers on the net and found to look in
services.msc and windows audio.
That's where I differ from everything else I see on the net, as I
don't have a windows audio service in there nor do I have a "windows
audio end point builder".
However I do have these 2 options
audioendpointbuilder
audiosrv
Both of which give 2 errors when I double click them
1. Configuration manager: a general internal error occurred
2. The system cannot find the file specified
If I try to start audioendpointbuilder I get this error message
"Windows could not start the audioendpointbuilder service on local
computer
Error 193: 0xc1"
If I try to start audiosrv I get this error message
"Windows could not start audiosrv service on local computer
Error 1068: the dependency service of this group failed to start."
Now I can't seem to get any further than that.
I have tried reinstalling the driver and making sure the audiosrv.dll
is in system32 folder.
Im running vista home premium 32bit and my sound is a conexant high
definition audio card
Any help really appreciated
Thanks in advance
