Audio Endpoint Builder Service Not Starting
Hello,
My system's sound suddenly stopped today. I checked the speakers and they are working fine. I also reinstalled the drivers but to no avail. I opened Windows Sound in Control Panel and there it mentioned that the Windows Audio Service wasn't working. I tried starting it and I got a message stating that one of the dependencies are not started. Of the three dependencies, Windows Audio Endpoint Builder service wasn't started. When I attempt to start this service, I get the following message :
This service's dependency i.e. Plug and Play is working fine. Event viewer shows the following entry for this failed attempt :
Could someone please let me know what's the issue ?Code:Log Name: System Source: Service Control Manager Date: 11-Sep-11 4:02:15 PM Event ID: 7023 Task Category: None Level: Error Keywords: Classic User: N/A Computer: Vrushank_Desai Description: The Windows Audio Endpoint Builder service terminated with the following error: The RPC server is unavailable.
