Guest Sound Problems Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 I recently resolved some sound choppiness with Windows Media Player 11 for the Vista Basic operating system. However, within several days of its resolution, my computer ceased to play sound altogether (with the exception of "angry" beeps when I am doing something it doesn't like). My sound card was previously in use, and now no longer issues sound. On the Start Task bar on the bottom right of the screen, there appears a little speaker icon with a little white "X" surrounded in red, and when scrolled over indicates that "The Audio Service is not running." I am unsure as to how to resolve this. When this previously happened when I re-emerged from hibernation I had resolved that by restarting the computer, however this method does not work now. I then went to Microsoft's Knowledge base and read a suggestion concerning this issue when the computer comes out of hibernation I then downloaded the patch as per the advice of Microsoft, and it has had little help. When I right-click this particular speaker icon with the "x", the computer beeps and then asks if I wish to "Enable Windows Audio Service," to which I say "Yes." This sends me to the "Sound" interface (not sure if this is the right word) where I can choose sound themes, or choose the "Playback" tab. Upon choosing the playback tab, I can choose from dealing with the speakers or the Digital Output Device, [(which I assume is the Sound card since it corresponds with the Device Manager), the provider being Sigma Tel High Definition Audio CODEC], and it says it is working properly under Device Status, and I attempted to determine whether it required updated drivers and it does not. Further, upon choosing its properties and going to the Enhancement tabs, it states under the "Enhancement Properties" box that its status is disabled. Any Suggestions?

Guest Gistcheckin Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Check Windows Update Log for Errors. Scroll down to the bottom for most recent updates. Run, type %windir%\windowsupdate.log Re: 1068 error 1. Click Start, click Run, type services.msc, and then click OK. 2. Right-click the Antigen service that you want to examine, and then click Properties. 3. Click the Dependencies tab. If the service that the service depends on is stopped, right-click the service in the Services console, and then click Start. Then, try to install again. You receive a "0x80070002" or "0x80070003" error code after you download an update from Windows Update, from Microsoft Update, or from Windows Server Update Services http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910336 -- Gistcheckin "Sound Problems" wrote: > Started is not listed, Stopped is listed.

Guest realcestmoi Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 Hi there, Did you try rolling back on the sound card driver or use last known good configuration?
