Guest Downy Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 Probably after an update my computer doesn't recognize the mixing device anymore. There is no sound anymore. The soundcard is allright, de drivers are new. The connection with the speakers is good etc. In Sound and Audio Devices in the Control Panel there is no audio device everything is greyed out. In the System Devices section of the Control Panel the soundcard is recognized and works properly. The problem is not mentioned in the Knowledgebase of Microsoft but I found somenone with the same problem on the internet. He asked help on the internet and someone saild the problem is the Windows Audio Service. (Windows Audio Properties) Usualy it starts automaticaly but now it is stopped. It should be activated again. It was true, the service was stopped. A restart failed and then I saw there was an error in the path to the executable. It should be %SystemRoot%\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs In my case it is %SyctemRoot%\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs I tried to replace the c for an s but that was not possible. Someone on the net told that it could be changed in the register in windows When I studied the register I saw that the path in the register was allright! HKEY-LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wscsvc Image Path = %SystemRoot%\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs Summarized the path in the register is oke but the path in the Windows Audio Properties (Local Computer) is corrupted. What can I do? Thanks in advance
