    Disable video card HD


    If you just installed a new video card or updated drivers it may have enabled the HD audio drivers on the card. I you are using native audio you may have to go to device manager and disable HD audio from graphics card. This may correct red X as you have no HDMI connected to graphics card and your PC is looking for that connection. Hope this helps

    You can also right click on audio icon and click sounds and then playback. It should show an HDMI cable unplugged from your video card. Simply right click on that and choose disable to correct problem. Only do this if you donot intend to use your HDMI from your video card for sound

    Bug Fix Priorities


    If MS is like most software houses, bugs which don't prevent users from using a feature get a very, very low priority on the "list of things to do". And since a) the service works, and b) the appearance of the red cross can be so easily fixed, I suspect this is near the bottom of their fix list.

    mine does exactly the same as JackDinn describes
    the service is actually running but tray icon says differently
    minor pita but nicer if it did what it was supposed to do

    simply restarting the service makes the red cross go away

    i have also noticed some other erratic issues with other tray icons as well
    possibly it's general issue with windows 7 as it never did such things with vista

    addendum

    booted the pc tonight
    audio service had the red cross
    clicked on it
    volume slider opened
    adjusted volume
    red cross went away
    go figure

    Same here.

    Just tried adjusting the audio as suggested and the red cross disappeared.

    What gives?

    No ideas here either, I simply pressed the mute button on my keyboard a couple of times and the cross disappeared as well. Gotta love the bugs

    Oh well, a bug like this is easy to work with and I'm sure they'll fix it eventually.
    that's what i did. didn't see someone else same thing X) ..since simple adjust volume didn't work (already maxed =.=)

    It seems as a version of Windows ages its harder and harder for the startup items to remain conflict free. I have surmised that when items don’t startup correctly we get the X or items missing etc. It seems silly to me that Microsoft can’t make this start up process rock solid. I use Logitech software to customize my mouse. It use to start up fine. Now it won’t start on its own when I turn my machine on.

    Wireless keyboard, perhaps?


    I picked up the same issue, but only after I installed a wireless keyboard. Anyone with this problem have a regular wired kb?
