Windows 7 Audio – Fixing Random Audio Stops

audiowindows 7

I'm running the Windows 7 RC and sometimes my sound would stop randomly. For example, I would be listening to something, then the sound would suddenly stop. Even while there is no sound, there doesn't seem to be a problem with the drivers. Usually a quick reboot will fix the issue.

I found the same problem here

Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, is there something I can do to get the sound back without restarting my computer each time?

Best Answer

Instead of rebooting, try this:

net stop audiosrv
net start audiosrv

requires admin (elevated) command prompt; works on Vista and Win7.
