Quote from irfan H
The error message indicates that the Audio service is failing to start on your computer.
You can try the below methods to fix this issue:
Method 1:
Run Audio troubleshooter that will automatically diagnose and fix any audio issues. You can refer this article to run Audio troubleshooter:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Playing-Audio-troubleshooter
Method 2:
Check the services manually.
I suggest that you check if the dependency services are started and check if you have the same issue.
a.     Click Start, type Services.msc in the Start Search box.
b.     Scroll down the list of services, right-click Windows Audio and select Start.
c.       Select Properties for Windows Audio and set its Startup Type to Automatic.
If the Windows Audio service does not start and you get the error ‘Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start, then make sure that the following services are started and their Startup Type is set to Automatic’
a.     Plug and Play
b.     Multimedia Class Scheduler
c.      Windows Audio Endpoint Builder
Method 3:
If the dependency services are not starting, you can uninstall and reinstall the Audio drivers. This will reset all the Audio components on your computer.
To uninstall a device with Device Manager:
a.     Click on start and type devmgmt.msc
b.     In Device Manager's left panel, open the node that represents. You should be able to find the Audio device under the Sound, Audio and Game controller. Uninstall and then right-click the device entry.
c.      On the shortcut menu, click Uninstall.
d.     On the Confirm Device Removal dialog box, click OK to start the uninstall process.
Once you uninstall the device, install the latest drivers by downloading it from the manufacturers’ website (Realtek).
Note:Make sure that you have the source to install the Audio drivers before you install it. Also create a System restore point before uninstalling the device.

  • Windows Audio Services will not start

    The sound on my HP Presario stopped working. Diagnostics said it was because the Windows Audio Services was not running. When I go to the Microsoft Management Console and try to start it again, I get Error 1068 - The dependency group failed to start. Any suggestions?

    Hi Mziggi,
    You may want to try installing the latest audio driver for your PC directly from the original device manufacturer. I'm not sure what your exact model number is (SR5000) is the series, but of the SR5000's that I've looked up they tend to have the Realtek High Definition Audio. If this is true for your PC (and I think it is), here is a link to the Realtek download site:
    http://152.104.125.41/downloads/
    Just select "High Definition Audio Codecs", select the agreement, and then download and install the driver for your operating system.
    I hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

  • Windows audio service

    Yesterday my audio stopped working.  I replaced speakers but problem persists.  Icon of speaker on bottom has an x.  Error message is that Windows Audio Service is not enabled....it then asks if I wish it to be enabled.  I respond yes...but
    nothing occurs.  It also suggests that device for playback or audio isn't installed....not sure how all this came about, nor what to do.

    Method 1:
    Run Audio troubleshooter
    Press Win + S keys and in the Search box type in Troubleshooting. Under Hardware and Sound Click Playing Audio.
    Method 2:
    Check  Windows Audio Service is running. Check the services manually.
    I suggest that you check if the dependency services are started and check if you have the same issue.
    a. Click Start, type Services.msc in the Start Search box.
    b. Scroll down the list of services, right-click Windows Audio and select Start.
    c.  Select Properties for Windows Audio and set its Startup Type to Automatic.

    Hi,
    Find the related services and start them:
    1. Click Start, type Services.msc in the Start Search box.
    2. Scroll down the list of services, right-click Windows Audio
    and select Start.
    3. Select Properties for Windows Audio and set its Startup Type

    If the Windows Audio service does not start and you still get the error

    Startup Type is set to Automatic.

  • Windows Audio service not running

    I have just built my new computer, and I loaded up windows on it, and everything is working fine but the audio. I have the X over the audio and the "audio service is not running" error. I tried to start The Windows Audio service in the service
    menu, but when I do that, I click the audio button and the red X reappears. I know I have all the dependant services enabled, because I have read through many forum posts. So, just to sum things up, all dependant services are on, I get the X error, and whenever
    I start the Windows audio service it seems like its working but when I click the volume bar the X reappears over the icon.

    Hello,
    I recommend reposting your question in one of the Windows forums, depending on which OS version you are running.  For example, either Windows 7 IT Pro or Windows 8.1 IT Pro forums.

  • Why does Premiere Pro blue-screen if Windows Audio Service is enabled?

    Since I enabled ASIO in Premiere Pro, I have to remember to disable the Windows Audio Service before starting Premiere Pro, or else it will blue-screen at some point, usually after I pause playback of a video clip.  It only happens in ASIO audio mode, and completely goes away if I disable Windows Audio.  Something is interacting badly between the Premiere Pro ASIO driver and the Windows Audio service.  The error message has something to do with USB host or something like that...I don't have it in front of me right now.
    I tried to create a batch file to disable the service, then run Premiere Pro with "start /wait", then re-enable it when premiere is closed, but Premiere Pro cannot be run by that command, unlike every other executable I've ever used it on.  It just doesn't come up.  So I tried with a Powershell script instead, and when doing the equivalent in Powershell, Premiere Pro starts, but the window is blank and hangs forever until you kill it by clicking the X.  I would be fine with a scripting workaround, but Premiere Pro is really really really resistant to that apparently, so my only option is to remember to disable it manually EVERY SINGLE TIME.  It's just annoying when I forget to disable it and then I lose work, and probably hard drive clusters, when the blue-screen comes.  And if I want to export something to another program in the suite that doesn't use ASIO, I won't be able to play audio without closing Premiere and fiddling with the service.
    Here are the specs that might be relevant:
    -Windows 7 x64
    -M-Audio FastTrack Pro sound card (usb) [latest drivers]
    -12 GB RAM
    -Intel core i7
    -gtx 460 video card with the ini file CUDA hack

    I'll make sure to do that.  But in case the bug takes a long time to fix or gets pointed to M-Audio, who will most likely not ever fix it if it's in their stuff, does anybody know how I can get the batch file and/or powershell solution to work?  I don't really get why Premiere Pro would know or care who launched it as long as it launched in its own process.

  • Windows could not start the Windows Audio service on Local Computer.

    Hi
    I started my PC today and i didn't have sound... weird
    i'm getting this error when i want to start the Windows Audio service
    "Windows could not start the Windows  Audio service on Local Computer.      
    Error 0x800706cc: The end point is a duplicate."
    HELP PLEASE!!!!!

    Hi,
    Have your gotten any updates installed?
    Regarding to current information, this issue can be caused by corrupted updated files or drivers.
    Please check if there is any update related to audio driver. Can this issue be fixed if you remove such update?
    I also suggest you can try to reinstall Audio driver to check the results.

  • Audio Service is not Working.

    HI everybody,
    So today i just turned my pc on after a few days and noticed that there was RED CROSS "X" on my volume icon. It says that Audio Service is not working. i opened services(service.msc) searched for it and when i tried to start
    it gives me this ERROR! I searched for solutions over the net as well as here. Recommendations that i found were 
    >Reinstall the drivers
    >Unisntall drivers from Device Manager and then reinstall.  (WHEN I TREID TO INSTALL DRIVERS IT GAVE ME ERROR THAT "AUDIO SERICE IS NOT RUNNING AND COULDNT BE STARTED" )
    >Run "RPC" service and "Endpoint service". Currently both are running !
    Last but not least, u must be thinking that why i posted such a big post, this is because others problems were solved and issue was also a bit different. :D
    (I tried to post two images but the site said that u are not allowed to post images and links!)
    Thank you all in advance, and please help me quick to solve this problem. I cant play games without sound for long ! :"(

    Hi
    Are you installing new drivers downloaded from the manufacturer website or letting windows install it for you?
    Try disabling the sound card in the bios, reboot and then enable it again, reboot and see what windows does.
    Can you also run a sfc scan and see if there are any corrupted files?

  • The Audio Service is not running when I open certain programs

    My audio works fine when I boot my computer.  However, any time I got to click on the speaker icon at the bottom right the audio service stops running.  When I use the system.msc fix that is very common on the web by the time I open the panel the
    audio has already realized that it is running and starts running again.  If I open razer comms, it stop working again and I either can open system.msc to fix it, or I can just click the speaker icon to fix it.  When I open a game, like FFXIV it stop
    working again, click the speaker and all the sudden it turns back on.  
    I have read every thread I can find on the web about the "Audio is not running" issue but no one seems to have had this exact problem and I don't know how to fix it.
    For the love of god help
     

    Hi,
    By saying the audio service us not working, do you mean the speaker icon show an red "X" ?
    Please take a check with the following KB article:
    In Windows 7 a red 'X' may appear over the speaker icon in the notification area even though audio output functions correctly
    If this is the issue, then this behavior is cosmetic in nature and does not affect the performance of Windows.

    AVG did a system restore, tried starting windows audio in computer management and updated and restarted my laptop numerous times but to no avail. I would very much appreciate it if you could help me out with this matter ASAP.

  • Windows audio service: '' the endpoint is a duplicate ''

    Do any of you know how to fix
    "Windows could not start the Windows Audio service on Local Computer.
    Error 0x800706cc: The endpoint is a duplicate."

    Hi Andreas TUD,
    Besides what has been suggested by S.Sengupta.
    We wonder if you are using third party antivirus software such as AVG, since similar cases has been reported, we suggest you temporarily delete/disable them and check the issue again.

    Guys ,i want to report that when i reinstalled the latest driver from hp website the problem persisted.
    But after all i tried a same hd audio driver that i got in the software backup of my hp laptop that hp itself already saved in my system when i bought it.
    when i installed that driver that was given in drivers backup believe me the problem is gone.
    The change that i noted is that in Startup services (by msconfig.exe) a new option Realtek HD audio manager appeared that is checked to startup at system startup so in this way audio service functions good and problem is gone.
    That option didn't appeared when i installed the latest driver from the hp website.
    So Really Thank you everyone who has helped me.
    Thank You.
    Hello again HassanMeekal.
    If the generic driver bundled with Windows works without any issues I'd say stick with that one.  There shouldn't be many, if any, features that you'll be missing out on.
    Have a great day.

  • Restarting Windows Audio service semi-disables audio OSD on Win7

    Windows 7. Thinkpad W520.
    Observed behaviour: 
    Run "services.msc"
    Restart the "Windows Audio" service or any service depending on it (e.g. Windows Audio Endpoint Builder).
    Use the volume keys to modify the audio level. Audio level is modified but the on-screen-display doesn't indicate any change.
    Use the mute button. Audio is muted and this is reflected in the Windows audio mixer, but the LED in the button doesn't light up to indicate the state change.
    Expected behaviour: The on-screen-display should continue to function even when restarting the audio service.
    I should note how I came across this. I was firing up some old games and some don't interact too well with the Windows 7 sound system and globally alters the volume level even after exiting, i.e. the mixer shows that the volume is at an unaltered 50% (or whatever), but the system is much quieter. Restarting the audio service fixes this, but apparently breaks the volume OSD.

    It's probably just a bug in the OSD software code.  A very minor bug, at that.  Why are you so concerned about it?
    Since there's probably nothing you can do to "fix" it, anyways.

    Hey there Frank0619,
    If you have not been able to install iTunes because the Windows Installer service is not available, I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following troubleshooting to help.
    Issues installing iTunes for Windows
    These in particular: 
    Make sure you have an administrator account.
    To install iTunes, you'll need to log in to your computer with an administrator password. If you're not sure if you have an administrator account, read Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator? You could also refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
    Install the latest Microsoft Windows updates.
    To download the latest updates, visit the Microsoft Windows Update website. iTunes for Windows requires Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 with the latest Service Pack installed. If you can’t install the updates, refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
    Download the latest version of iTunes.
    The latest version of iTunes can be downloaded at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
    Disable conflicting software.
    Some Windows background processes can cause issues for other programs and processes. These conflicts can prevent applications, such as iTunes, from installing. Disable conflicting processes by starting your computer using MSConfig: 
    Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows XP
    Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8
    Some security software made by other companies can't be disabled using MSConfig. If you've installed security software and you're having issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows, you might need to disable or uninstall security software to resolve installation issues.
    Restart your computer.
    Install iTunes.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
