Probably not, because the world uses other services. This did not work either.īut looking at another Windows 10 computer (with working sound) I discovered that the service was running as 'Local service' (I think that is the term, my computers are in Swedish -), NOT as the local system account. Windows 10 is great, but it has its issues, from unpredictable reboots to. I tried all the 'restart Audio services' tricks I could find, but to no avail.Īnother tip was to ensure that the services was running as the local system account (Services->Windows Audio Service->Properties then the 'Login' tab). And they were definitely running.Īt first I thought it was the drivers so I re-installed all of them, but could not get any sound from any of the audio devices (built-in, PCIe card or Bluetooth headset). Windows troubleshooter for audio complained that the audio services was not responding, but offered no action to remedy the situation.
