I have a Samsung R509 Laptop.
Recently the Windows Audio service has stopped running and when clicking the audio icon a troubleshooting window just opens which says it cannot fix the problem.
I have tried several fixes such as the MSISERVER cmd fix, all to not avail.
When I go in to services and try and run either Windows Audio or Windows Audio End Point I get this error.
Hello alexfer and welcome to Seven Forums. Sorry you're having these issues.
You might want to read through this Microsoft article and follow the suggetions given.
No sound in Windows
Microsoft also has another article, "Tips for fixing common sound problems". There's a Fix it" button but use caution before using it. The article was originally prepared for Vista and should work for Windows 7 but I'd create a System Restore point just in case.

Some other things that could affect your audio include which antivirus you're using, any recent Windows Updates, and malware. You could also try running a full scan with Free Malwarebytes. It picks up things other products miss. Update the database before running.
Malwarebytes : Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is a free download that removes viruses and malware from your computer
