    I got this same issue when I upgraded my video card from an 8800gt to an ATI 5770. Happens for me everytime I start up, theres a red X but the audio works fine.

    Just upgraded from Nvidia 8800 to ATI 5700, same as the poster above, and I have the same problem.

    I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the audio out fuctionality of the HDMI ports on the new ATI cards?

    Sliding the volume made the X go away for me too.

    Windows Sound Service


    Ladies and Gents, I also came across this annoying issue and here's how I fixed it:

    The problem is caused by the OS not loading the Realtek HD Audio driver(s) before the service is started.

    To fix it, I simple removed the Realtek HD audio device (un-install from devmgmt) and then reinstalled (preferably with Realtek's latest driver package: Available HERE

    Simply reboot after the driver is reinstalled and that should do the trick. Don't get a fright if the red X is still there DIRECTLY after explorer.exe loads as it will disapear once the OS is fully loaded.

    Cheers

    If only it were that simple for me...


    I have the same problem, however, no amount of rebooting will rectify the problem. All necessary devices are enabled, however, when selecting the Playback devices dialog, there are no devices listed. I don't even get the option of a volume slider to play with.

    A quick check of the startup menu via msconfig shows that the needed apps are loading and the device manager also shows no errors with hardware, so I am at a loss what the problem could be.

    I do have the same problem, yet I couldn't resolve it through sliding at the volume. As it won't play sound still. And even after re-enabling the disabled service, often (not always ) the sound still doesn't work.

    Any ideas? I'm just reinstalling the Creative X-Fi drivers, hope it helps...

    I just got that Red Flag in the System Tray and the "Audio System is not Running". I read the posts and adjusted the volume while the red "X" was there and it disappeared. I am finding little bugs in Windows 7 all the time. Thanks for the tip!
