How to run the audio service on windows 7

The main service that is responsible for the sound on computers with Windows Audio operating system is "Windows Audio". But it happens that this element is disconnected due to failures or simply works incorrectly, which leads to the impossibility of listening to the sound on the PC. In these cases, it is necessary to run it or restart. Let's see how it can be done.

Method 2: "Service Manager"

But, unfortunately, the method described above is not always valid. Sometimes even the speaker itself on the "notification panel" may be absent. In this case, you need to use other options for solving the problem. Among others, the most frequently used method of inclusion of the audio service are manipulations through the "Service Manager".

1. First of all, you need to go to the "Dispatcher". Click "Start" and go through the control panel.



2. Click "System and Security".



3. In the next window, click "Administration".



4. The Administration window is launched with a list of system tools. Choose "services" and click on this item.

   

   There is a faster option to start the desired tool. To do this, call the "Run" window by pressing Win + R. Enter:

   Services.msc.

   Click OK.



5. Starts "Service Manager". In the list, which is presented in this window, you must find the entry of Windows Audio. To simplify the search, you can build a list in alphabetical order. You should simply click on the name of the "Name" column. After you found the desired item, take a look at the status of Windows Audio in the Status "Status". There should be the status of "works". If there is no status, this means that the object is disabled. The "Startup Type" column should stand the status "automatically". If the status is "disabled" there, this means that the service does not start with the operating system and it must be activated manually.



6. To fix the position, click LKM on Windows Audio.



7. Windows Audio properties opens. In the Start Type category column, select "Automatically". Click "Apply" and "OK".



8. Now the service will automatically start at the start of the system. That is, it requires to activate it to restart the computer. But it is not necessary to do this. You can select the name "Windows Audio" and in the left domain "Service Manager" click "Run".



9. The launch procedure is performed.



10. After its activation, we will see that "Windows Audio" in the Status "Status" has the status "Works", and in the "Startup Type" batch - the status "automatically".

But such a situation is found when all statuses in the "Service Manager" indicate that Windows Audio operates, but there is no sound, and the speaker icon with a cross is located in the tray. This suggests that the service is incorrect. Then you need to restart it. To do this, highlight the name "Windows Audio" and click "Restart". After the reboot procedure is completed, check the status of the icon in the tray and the ability to reproduce the sound.

Method 3: "System Configuration"

Another option assumes the launch of the audio using the tool called the "System Configuration".

1. Go to the specified tool you can via the "Control Panel" in the "Administration" section. About how to get there, it was said when discussing method 2. So, in the "Administration" window, click on the "System Configuration".

   

   You can also move to the tool you need by applying the "Run" utility. Call it by pressing Win + R. Enter the command:

   msconfig

   Click OK.



2. After starting the "System Configuration" window, move to the "Services" section.



3. Then locate the name "Windows Audio" in the list. For a faster search, build a list of alphabet. To do this, click by the name of the "Service" field. After detecting the desired item, adjust the checkbox opposite it. If the tick is worth, then you first remove it, and then put it again. Next click "Apply" and "OK".



4. To turn on the service, this method requires a reboot of the system. A dialog box appears in which you want whether you want to restart the PC now or later. In the first case, click on the "Restart" button, and in the second - "Exit without rebooting". Under the first option, do not forget before clicking Save all unsaved documents and close the programs.



5. After rebooting Windows Audio will be active.

At the same time, it should be noted that the name "Windows Audio" simply may be absent in the "system configuration" window. This may occur if the loading of this object is disabled in the "Services Manager", that is, in the "Startup Type" column set "disabled". Then the launch through the "system configuration" will be impossible.

In general, the actions to solve the specified task through the "System Configuration" are less preferred than manipulation through the "Services Manager", since, first, the necessary item may not be displayed in the list, and secondly, the completion of the procedure requires a reboot of the computer .

Method 4: "Command String"

You can also solve the problem we study by entering the command to the "Command Line".

1. The tool for successful completing the task is necessary to run with administrator rights. Click "Start" and then "all programs".



2. Find the "Standard" directory and click on her name.



3. Right-click (PCM) on the "Command Line" inscription. In the menu, click "Running from the administrator."



4. Opened "Command Line". Put in it:

   Net Start Audiosrv

   Click ENTER.



5. The required service will be launched.

This method will also not work if the "Windows Audio" launch is disabled in the "Service Manager", but for its implementation, unlike the previous method, the reboot is not required.

Method 5: "Task Manager"

Another method of activating the system described in the current article is made through the Task Manager. This method is also suitable only if in the properties of the object in the "Startup Type" field "is disabled".

1. First of all, you will need to activate the "Task Manager". This can be done by typing Ctrl + SHIFT + ESC. Another option of launch involves the PCM click on the "taskbar". In the menu that opens, select "Run Task Manager".



2. "Task Manager" is running. What kind of tab is not open, and this tool opens in the section where the last time work was completed in it, you should go to the "Services" tab.



3. Going to the named section, you need to find the name "Audiosrv" in the list. This will be easier if you build a list by alphabet. To do this, click on the title of the table "Name". After the object is dequeble, pay attention to the status in the state column. If the status is "stopped" there, it means that the element is disabled.



4. Click the PCM on "Audiosrv". Select "Run Service".



5. But it is possible that the desired object will not start, and the window will appear instead in which the operation is not fulfilled, as it was denied access. Click "OK" in this window. The problem may be caused by the fact that the "Task Manager" is activated not on behalf of the administrator. But it can be solved directly through the "dispatcher" interface.



6. Go to the "Processes" tab and click on the button below to "display the processes of all users". Thus, the "Task Manager" will receive administrative rights.



7. Now come back to the "Services" section.



8. Lay "Audiosrv" and click on it PKM. Choose "Run Service".



9. "AudioSRV" will start, which is marked by the appearance of the status "Works" in the "Status" column.

But you may fail again, as it will appear exactly the same mistake as for the first time. This, most likely, means the fact that the "Windows Audio" properties set the startup type "disabled". In this case, the activation will be able to spend only through the "Service Manager", that is, applying method 2.

Method 6: Activating related services

But it happens when not one of the above methods does not work. This may be caused by the fact that some related services are turned off, and this, in turn, when running "Windows Audio" leads to an error 1068, which is displayed in the information window. Also, the following errors can also be associated with this: 1053, 1079, 1722, 1075. To solve the problem, it is necessary to activate non-working subsidiaries.

1. Go to "Service Manager" by applying one of those action options that were described when considering the method 2. First of all, look for the name "Multimedia classes". If this item is disabled, and this, as we already know, you can learn from the statuses in the line with its name, go to the properties by clicking on the name.



2. In the properties of the "Multimedia classes" properties in the "Startup Type" column, select "Automatically", and then click "Apply" and "OK".



3. Returning to the "Manager" window to highlight the name of the "Multimedia classes" name and click "Run".



4. Now try to activate "Windows Audio", adhering to the algorithm of actions that was shown in the method 2. If it did not work, then pay attention to the following services:
   • Remote procedure call;
   • Nutrition;
   • Means of constructing endpoints;
   • Plug and Play.

   Turn on those elements from this list that are disabled, by the same method, for which the "Multimedia classes schedule" is incorporated. Then try to re-run "Windows Audio". This time fails should not be. If this method does not work, it means that the reason is much deeper by the topic in this article. In this case, you can only advise try to roll back the system to the last correct functioning point of recovery or in the case of its absence to reinstall the OS.

There are several ways to run "Windows Audio". Some of them are universal, such as the launch from the "Service Manager". Others can only be implemented if there are certain conditions, such as actions through the "Command Line", "Task Manager" or "System Configuration". Separately, it is worth noting the special cases where the task specified in this article needs to be activated by various subsidiaries.
