Hi

I found this on another forum, the second one worked for the poster...

Open an elevated (Admin) command prompt. Copy/paste this command then press enter:

net start audiosrv

--------

If that doesn't work, try this.

1. Open cmd.exe with Administrator rights

2. Paste in:

"secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose"

(probably without the quotes but if that doesn't work try it with the quotes).

3. Restart your computer when the process completes

Hi

Try uninstalling your audio device in Device Manager, then reboot.
Windows will redetect and reinstall the device.

It might do it right, this time.

Anyway it will get you back to the default drivers and settings.
