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

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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).

  • AUDIO SERVICE IS NOT RUNNING

    Hi there
      I need help with my PC....I muted the sound yesterday and now I want to unmute it the message that says the audio is not running pops up. Ive tried everything but nothing works, What should I do
    Please help

    You have muted sound and now unable to unmute error says services not running 
    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.

  • HP G71-449WM. Windows 7 64-bit. "Audio service is not running"

    I have downloaded all the updates i can find anywhere. My roommate was deleting stuff off my laptop to "optimize" performance and now i have no sound. I go to my device manager in the computer and it says my IDT high definition Audio CODEC is working properly. And my Intel(R) High Definition Audio HDMI is working properly. What do i do to get sound again? The little speaker icon on the task bar at the far right has an X on it like it was muted. BUT its not. Help?/

  • Report Subscription by email error - The SQL Agent service is not running

    Hello All,
    This may be an easy answer, so please excuse my ignorance if I am overlooking something simple. I a simply trying to setup Report Subscriptions to be emailed to me. We currently have essentially 3 servers in use in our environment - a CAS, a Site server
    and a SQL 2012.
    I have configured the email settings in Reporting Services Configuration Manager on the Site server and was finally able to see the email option in the Create Subscription Wizard, but it errors out with:
    System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The SQL Agent service is not running. This operation requires the SQL Agent service. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.SchedulerNotRespondingException: The SQL Agent service is not running.
    This operation requires the SQL Agent service.   at Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.ReportingService2005Impl.CreateSubscription(String Report, ExtensionSettings ExtensionSettings, Boolean isDataDriven, DataRetrievalPlan DataRetrievalPlan, String
    Description, String EventType, String MatchData, ParameterValueOrFieldReference[] Parameters, Guid batchId, String& SubscriptionID)   at Microsoft.ReportingServices.WebServer.ReportingService2005.CreateSubscription(String Report, ExtensionSettings
    ExtensionSettings, String Description, String EventType, String MatchData, ParameterValue[] Parameters, String& SubscriptionID)
    We do not have SQL installed locally, therefore it makes sense that the Agent service is not running. How do I subscribe to alerts in SCCM without a local installation of SQL?
    -Brad

    I am positive - see screenshots below of services on the SQL server:
    Yes, reports work perfectly otherwise... Just cannot subscribe.

  • 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?
    Presario SR 5000
    Vista Home Premium

    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.

  • Error 1075: The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion

    Windows 7 Pro laptop will not connect to corporate domain. Multiple identical twin laptops have no problem.
    Best suggestion so far has been to leave the domain and rejoin it, BUT the relevant buttons are grayed out and the comment says "Note: The identification of the computer cannot be changed because:- The Workstation service is not running. Open the Services
    snap-in (services.msc) to ensure it is running and set its Startup Type as "Automatic"."
    In services.msc the Workstation service is already set to Automatic but is not started. When I try to start it manually the response is "Windows could not start the Workstation service on Local Computer." and then "Error 1075: The dependency service does
    not exist or has been marked for deletion."
    Rebooting gets me nowhere.
    In all other respects that laptop appears fine and can connect to the Internet, but NOT to the network. I have brought it and a twin laptop home to try on my domestic network and get the same results.
    Any ideas, please?

    Hi,
    Let us go to services.msc and navigate to Network Store Interface Service. Please check whether this service has been set to Automatic and turned on.
