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.

The audio service is not running

Yeah as the title says..my audio isn't working it tells me "The audio service is not running"..in my headphones no sound even on my speakers..What will I do? I went to the service button and when I did start to windows audio it told me "Windows
could not start the windows audio service on local computer Error 1068:The dependency service or group failed to start.

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
to Automatic.
If the Windows Audio service does not start and you still 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.
•Plug and Play
•Multimedia Class Scheduler
•Windows Audio Endpoint Builder

Hi! The "chapter" menu does not appear when I open a book in itunes. How can I make it appear? In fact, one time it did appear, but it seems to have been more of an incident.

Books are meant to be read on your Devices through iBook App and will not work on iTunes.

Windows 7 professional - one or more audio services are not running

I have a windows 7 professional laptop. The audio stopped working suddenly. When i click on the audio icon (with a red x on it) the system tried to troubleshoot the problem. This is the error i see in the troubleshooter.
One or more audio services isn't is running
I tried to start the windows audio, windows audio endpoint builder. Neither of them started but gave some error.
When i tried to restore to a previous version i got an error message that there are some bad sectors on the C drive but could not run the checkdsk on that drive. Instead windows offered me to run it at next reboot. I did multiple reboots but the chkdsk never
ran.
I am don't have a windows reinstall disk. Can somebody point me where i can get the windows OS to reinstall it?

I'm not sure but since it's saying there's a library issue, you could try running:
# ldconfig
Failing that you could try a:
# pacman -Rns slim
# pacman -Syu slim
I tried both "ldconfig" and "pacman -XXX", but the problem is still there.
Maybe I need use another way to recompile slim in my machine.
But I have no time to test it now, I will try it another day.
Thx for replies.

The audio service is not working

the audio of my laptop is not working. it worked just fine the previous night. after troubleshooting it says one or more audio service isnt working.

Hi @athii
Thank you for your query, I will do my best to assist you!
I understand that your audio is not longer working but it was previously.
Here is a link to No Sound from Speakers (Windows 8) that will assist in overcoming this difficulty.
If a restore has not resolved the issue you could try a Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8).
You could also try reinstalling the original driver using the recovery. Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 8). Once you have completed this step please run HP Support Assistant to aid with any HP updates.
The last suggestion other then contacting HP support is to do a full recovery back to factory.
Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 8)
You will have the opportunity during the recovery to backup your personal data to prevent loss. If you have not done one recently now is the perfect time. Restoring Files that were Backed Up Using HP Recovery Manager (Windows 8).

There is an issue you have stopped services of windows audio from task manager.
There is simple way to get audio back just open control panel and search for troubleshoot and select hardware and sound troubleshooter then choose playback sound.(This process take 2-3 minutes and you have to connected to internet if any major problem in driver it will repair from internet for you )
If this will not work you have to downlaod and install latest audio drivers for your system from hp download center.

Itunes for windows not running when I open it

Brought new ipod nano, followed all instructions to the letter and have installed, uninstalled, reinstalled etc etc itunes about 20 times already and have had enough. My system is only 2 years old running windows xp and has the appropriate specifications, have turned off pop up blockers etc etc and still won't run. It says that quicktime and itunes has been successfully installed on my computer and quicktime will run when i click on the icon but when I go to click on itunes icon it does nothing not even an error message. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

The iTunes store does not load when I open it

So I recently had to install the latest version of iTunes after I upgraded to the newest version of iOS on my iPhone 4 (iOS 6.0.1) because the older iTunes version wasn't compatable with the newest iOS version. I had been using a much older version of iTunes becuase every time I would update the iTunes store without fail would stop working. I spent almost an entire day trying to fix it like 6-8 months ago and I finally got it to work with one of the older versions, which was why I was mad that I had to update it again.
Anyways, the iTunes store will not load at all. Everytime I open up iTunes on my computer (I have Windows Vista) and I try to go to the iTunes store, it never loads. It keeps saying "Accessing iTunes Store" (see image). I have tried to wait it out, but nothing ever changes.
I have already tried reinstalling iTunes and tried reinstalling the newest version, neither of which helped. I also tried what they suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123 but the only item that came up under the Winsock Providers tab was the Apple one.
Not sure what else to do. Any suggestions?

That's exactly like saying, "Hey, try this. It didn't work either. Good luck!"
It's the high-percentage play with the particular symptom set being reported. High-percentage implies that it doesn't work for some people. (Otherwise it'd be a 100% play.) So, it still makes sense for people to try it, even if it doesn't work for some people, because it does work for most people. Check other posts by wiclee using that set of instructions to get a better feel for the reliability of the advice in these circumstances. (Granted, that's a bit tricky given that only about 10-20 percent of people report back to say whether or not any advice (on any given topic) actually works.)

The lock symbol does not appear when I open a secure page in firefox 4.0. Has this been removed?

Previously, using firefox 3.6.1, when I opened a secure or encrypted page, the lock icon appeared on that page.
When I upgraded to firefox 4.0, the lock icon is no longer appearing when I open a secure page. Please confirm whether this has been removed or in the alternative whether there is a way to determine that the secure or encrypted page is indeed secure to use.

In Firefox 4 you no longer have the Status bar that showed the padlock in previous Firefox versions.<br />
The padlock only shows that there is a secure connection and doesn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server.<br />
So you might still be connected to the wrong server if you make a typo in the URL and someone has claimed that mistyped URL.<br />
The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the [[Site Identity Button]] on the left end of the location bar.

Why won't the Bing "Preferences" option not run when it does on IE and Chrome?

I am unable to select the preferences option on the main screen of Bing.com.

Is it the "gear" icon? Some add-ons have been known to invisibly block the top part of the page. Any problem with other top menus?
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site. You might want to log out first to make sure Bing doesn't lose any data mid-session.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove your bing.com cookies (save any pending work first) using either of these. While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
