Audio Service not running?

[Nocandu]

Hi

I keep getting a message with the task bar icon (red circle with X) and the message Audio Service not running.

The funny part is that my sound all works fine.

Anyone know what's going on?

If I log out and back in the service will usually start but not on original boot.

I have tried to identify which service this is in my services list but can't really tell what it is. I don't see anything actually identified as Audio Service.

Have a look at some of these. See if you feel it could be malware at work?

I had the very same issue, The audio service, by the way, is identified as Windows Audio Service, for whatever reason it seems to think it doesn't start when It actually is started.

After a while of tinkering I figured out that if I muted the audio and then un-muted the message would go away and red icon would be removed from the sound icon.

Now I haven't had the issue for a while now though.

Perhaps an update to the drivers fixed it at some point.
