It happened spotatneously; I made no relevant changes to my system. When I started my system, the audio icon showed the message that this thread asks about yet I had audio as stated here. The Windows Audio and Windows Audio EndpointBuilder services were started.
I stopped the Windows Audio Endpoint Builder service (which also stopped the Windows Audio service) then started the Windows Audio Endpoint Builder then the Windows Audio services. That fixed the problem. Messages in anotherforum say that just adjusting the volume can fix the problem.Sam HobbsSimpleSamples.Info. When I started my system, the audio icon showed the message that this thread asks about yet I had audio as stated here.Messages in another forum say that just adjusting the volume can fix the problem.Something so simple and fast, and yet this solution is not plastered all over the web. Really odd that folks have this tendency to post the most complex and involved solution solutions that would make an IT guy's eyes cross, yet the simple quickestsolution is not automatically repeated all over the place.In any case, yours was exactly my situation.
I had the X and yet my audio was working fine. After almost twenty minutes of searching, I finally came across your message. I moved my volume slider ever so slightly and BOOM, everything normal.Thank you, thank you! I' ve recently been having the 'audio' problem.
Reinstall Windows Audio Service
I was rebooting until it went away, but that gets tiresome. So, I just google the problem, and came up with this page.
I was going to try the 'services.msc' remedy, when I read about the solutionby just adjusting the volume. This also worked for me. Sure is a lot easier than doing all the other stuff mentioned in this thread, and then dealing with the 1068 error, if that occurred.
So, I would like to tell everyone, adjust the volume first, beforetrying to solve the problem using the other method.Thank you Sam!
