Audio Error 1079

[YMC]

Hello,

My friend just purchased a HP Pavilion 6600 notebook. brand new

Everything works fine. Installed all the drivers. only one administrator.

Then we did the windows update patch.

And suddenly we have no sound.

The error message is 1079.

When I try and start it in services - it claims that the account specifed
for audio service is not the same as the account for the other services.

I did a check - but the only service that has a different account name
(apart from Local Services) is RPC - which log in is Network Services. And I
can't change that - as the option is greyed out.

Other services like audio service endpoint is under local services - same
for multimedia task scheduler.

All set to automatic.

I did the Vista Service Pack 1 patch - and subsequent recent patches but no
help.

Please help- I've run out of ideas.

Hey, hurray!! I fixed the problem

Under log on - I typed in

NT AUTHORITY\LocalService

then the password.

And restarted it - and it finally worked!!!!

Solution:

goto services.msc

windows audio

click on logon

and type

NT AUTHORITY\LocalService

then the password.
