Windows Audio


Recommended Posts

somehow in vista, the window audio service became unregistered. Does anybody know the command prompt syntax to re-register it?

Start > run > cmd > net start "Windows Audio"

That will start the service but your better off doing this instead.

Start > run > services.msc

look for the Windows Audio service, make sure its set to Automatic.

maybe I didn't explain, the service won't start because the class is unregistered, I need the reg32 cmd to re-register it, its set to automatic in services

There must be a reason why it's not registered...

perhaps, because this is a beta, and things go wrong?

it did work when istalled, but dirtectsound was having problems and seemed to be missing some files

The only way I could fix this was reinstall. Do NOT use the DirectSound fix from Chris123NT's 5048 guide, it doesn't work in this build.

You could try dumping this into a reg file and running it. I have personally not tested it and have no guarentee's about what it will do.

Its taken from the XP service and i dunno how different longhorn handles it. I'll install vista now and check out some more stuff
