Audio Service on Local Computer. Error 3: The system can't find path
I have been wasting so much time the past few days trying to fix this issue! Any help/direction will be much appreciated. I have been all over these forums and found SIMILAR issues, but not my exact issue.
Every time I reboot, I have reset my audio drivers. They work every time afterwards, but not until I let Windows 'fix' the problem. This has been going on for a month or so. I want to know what I can to permanently fix this...
What I have learned...I can get the 'Windows Audio' and the 'Windows Audio Endpoint Builder' to start automatically. They originally were not starting automatically. I modified the logon setting for both of these services like I read about. I found a Windows 'MicrosoftFixit50671' troubleshooter that did nothing. I manually attempted to reset the "Windows Firewall and Base Filtering Engine' the same way by modifying the logon info to no avail.
This is the error I can't get past. This pops up when I try to 'Start' the 'Audio Service' from the services.msc window. What have I done and how do I fix it? Please help!!!
"Windows could not start the Audio Service services on Local Computer. Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified."
