Why isn't my audio service running? It's so random. Sometimes I am able to change my PC volumn, other times I am not.
I've restarted the following services:
- Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
- Multimedia Class Scheduler
- Windows Audio Endpoint Builder
I think I started noticing this after I went mucking around in msconfig looking for ways to improve PC performance. I know I shut off some services, but that was over 6 months ago today and I am finally getting tired of it happening.

The most important one is simply
Windows Audio.Make sure that this is set to automatic start and is currently started - it should start dependencies automatically and should also be all that is required for audio to work.
