I have a Dell laptop which is running on Windows Vista. I am getting this error message "The Audio Service is not running" when I hold the pointer over the volume symbol in the quick launch area. After clicking on the symbol, the volume mixer is not available and if I click on other options such as the recording devices, playback devices, sound, etc; I am getting a pop-up window that is telling me to enable the Windows Audio Service. I check for this things again and if i go in the sound windows, then it says that the speakers and mic are working fine, but I am not able to hear anything and there is also an 'X' mark on the volume symbol. After opening task manager, it says that the 'AudioEndpointBuilder' and 'Audiosrv' services has stopped and if i try to start the same service then it gives me an error. Can anyone help me out?
