the audio service is not running

[mahall1988]

Ok so this just appeared on my mams Compaq Presario c500 laptop. I've
spent hour researching and trying to fix this problem, but I keep
coming across people with a similar problem. I'll explain mine first.

My speaker icon in the taskbar has a red cross on it. When I hover my
mouse over it, it says "The audio service is not running", if I right
click it I get 3 options
1. Playback devices
2. Recording devices
3. Sounds

There is also an open volume mixer option but it's greyed out.

When I click on ay of them I get this message

This computer cannot play audio because the windows audio service is
not enabled.
Would you like to enable the windows audio service?

When I click yes it takes me to the sound options and it says all is
working, yet I still have no sound.

So I kept looking for answers on the net and found to look in
services.msc and windows audio.

That's where I differ from everything else I see on the net, as I
don't have a windows audio service in there nor do I have a "windows
audio end point builder".

However I do have these 2 options

audioendpointbuilder
audiosrv

Both of which give 2 errors when I double click them
1. Configuration manager: a general internal error occurred
2. The system cannot find the file specified


If I try to start audioendpointbuilder I get this error message
"Windows could not start the audioendpointbuilder service on local
computer
Error 193: 0xc1"


If I try to start audiosrv I get this error message
"Windows could not start audiosrv service on local computer
Error 1068: the dependency service of this group failed to start."

Now I can't seem to get any further than that.
I have tried reinstalling the driver and making sure the audiosrv.dll
is in system32 folder.

Im running vista home premium 32bit and my sound is a conexant high
definition audio card


Any help really appreciated

Thanks in advance

When you say you've tried re-installing the drivers, are you using
those that came supplied with the laptop, or have you visited the Compaq
website to download the newer -Vista certified driver-?

I took the liberty of locating them for you: 'Software & Driver
downloads Compaq Presario C500 CTO Notebook PC'
(http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=2093&lc=en&cc=us&d...

When I search the HP/Compaq site for _Presario_c500_, I got a lot of
results, mostly variations of Presario c500 that I'm guessing are
various model numbers.

*Compaq Presario C500 Notebook PC series
*Compaq Presario C500 CTO Notebook PC
Compaq Presario C500EA Notebook PC
Compaq Presario C500EU Notebook PC

Perhaps you should check too, just to make sure that the link I
supplied earlier was infact for your particular model? This will take
you to the search results: 'Product search results'

Make sure, too, that in Services, the Multimedia Class Scheduler is set to
Automatic.

I don't think you have a driver problem, but have, possibly, a Windows
system files problem. For example, is audiosrv.dll found in
C:\Windows\System32\?

Run the System File Checker. To do this, right-click on the Command
Prompt shortcut (in Start Menu\Programs\Accessories), and choose
Run as Administrator. Copy the following, and Paste it after the prompt:

sfc /scannow

Press Enter. It will scan all your system files. It may take a few
minutes. If things are okay, you are given the text message "Windows
Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations". If things
aren't okay, it will attempt to replace the bad system files.

ok so ive checked multimedia class scheduler and that is set to
automatic.
audiosrv.dll is present and correct.
but as for the checking of system files i tried this and it came back
with an error and created a log file for that, so i weent to the log
file but it told me i didnt have permission to view it.

any ideas.

 

[dean-dean]

To open the entire cbs.log, try right-clicking on Notepad, and then choose
Run as Administrator. Then use File > Open to navigate to the log. Since
the log may be huge (it's used by other programs besides the SFC), you might
want to do this:

To create relevant SFC-only information gleaned from the cbs.log, and put it
in a small file called sfcdetails.txt, right-click Command Prompt (using the
shortcut in Start Menu\Programs\Accessories) and choose Run as
Administrator. By default, the prompt starts
in C:\Users\(Your Name). Type:

cd desktop

Press Enter on your keyboard. Then Copy and Paste this at the prompt:

findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >sfcdetails.txt

Press Enter. Sfcdetails.txt should then appear on your Desktop.

Looking at entries for the latest date in that
text file , what files are noted as being problematic?

[dean-dean]

If the System File Checker tool cannot repair a file, follow these steps:

1. At an elevated command prompt (i.e. Run as Administrator), type the
following command, and then press ENTER:
takeown /f Path_And_File_Name
For example, type

takeown /f C:\windows\system32\audiosrv.dll

2. Type the following command, and then press ENTER to grant
administrators full access to the file:
icacls Path_And_File_Name /GRANT ADMINISTRATORS:F
For example, type

icacls C:\windows\system32\audiosrv.dll /grant administrators:F.

3. Type the following command to replace the file with a known good
copy of the file:
Copy Path_And_File_Name_Of_Source_File Path_And_File_Name_Of_Destination
For example, type

copy C:\temp\audiosrv.dll C:\windows\system32\audiosrv.dll

I don't think you have a driver problem, but have, possibly, a Windows
system files problem. For example, is audiosrv.dll found in
C:\Windows\System32\?
Run the System File Checker. To do this, right-click on the Command

Run as Administrator. Copy the following, and Paste it after the prompt:
sfc /scannow
Press Enter. It will scan all your system files. It may take a few
minutes. If things are okay, you are given the text message "Windows
Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations". If things
aren't okay, it will attempt to replace the bad system files.

When I search the HP/Compaq site for _Presario_c500_, I got a lot of
results, mostly variations of Presario c500 that I'm guessing are
various model numbers.
*Compaq Presario C500 Notebook PC series
*Compaq Presario C500 CTO Notebook PC
Compaq Presario C500EA Notebook PC
Compaq Presario C500EU Notebook PC
Perhaps you should check too, just to make sure that the link I
supplied earlier was infact for your particular model? This will take
you to the search results: 'Product search results'

It's good to hear (no pun intended).

Let this also be a lesson to all the naysayers and trolls on this
forum. We're all here to help. If you ask the right questions, someone
will find the answer.

All you really need to do is make sure all the services required for the
audio service to run are running. The main service is Windows Audio and if
you go in the properties of this service and then go to the Dependencies tab
you will see the services required for it to run. Make sure they are all
running and the start the Windows Audio service and it will be all in a good
working condition.

 

[susumu]

Hello. I don't have access to a working audiosrv.dll file. I have looked at
some dll downloading sites but can't find any that will work when replacing
the non-working one.
If someone that has a working one would be so kind as to upload it I would
be very greatful.

 

[Bob]

Try getting this from here

http://www.nodevice.com/dll/audiosrv_dll/item2134.html

Bob

 

[susumu]

That one didn't work either. Thank you for trying helping me though.

 

[AlexB]

Could you describe the symptoms? Perhaps it is not dll problem at all? It is
a very broad cast:: audio device is not working? Which device, what is the
problem? Recording? Playing?

 

[susumu]

The exact same problem as the one who started this topic.

 

[Codya]

having the sam problem with my sound, and need to replace the audiosrv.dll
file but i do not have permishin to change it. i see that their is some not
shown quotes and i think that tells me how to replace this system file. i
just upgraded to vista and i ended up with no sound. any way i can replace
that system file?
thanks,
Cody

but as for the checking of system files i tried this and it came back

any ideas.

Make sure, too, that in Services, the Multimedia Class Scheduler is set to
Automatic.

I don't think you have a driver problem, but have, possibly, a Windows
system files problem. For example, is audiosrv.dll found in
C:\Windows\System32\?

Run the System File Checker. To do this, right-click on the Command
Prompt shortcut (in Start Menu\Programs\Accessories), and choose
Run as Administrator. Copy the following, and Paste it after the prompt:

sfc /scannow

Press Enter. It will scan all your system files. It may take a few
minutes. If things are okay, you are given the text message "Windows
Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations". If things
aren't okay, it will attempt to replace the bad system files.

Hello dean-dean,
I have the same problem of audio service that is not running.
I follow through your conversation with mahall1988, then
reach at the point where u ask to scan at the command prompt.
After finishing the scanning in the command prompt (sfc/scannow),
my machine gives ""Windows
Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations" yet no sound
produce from my machine.
Thanks in advance, hopefully you can help.
For your info, I m using compaq presario V3000, running on Vista Ultimate 32
bit.
