Audiodg.exe has terminated unexpectely

I have moved from the other thread " Disabling headphone Jack Detection", ( because it was a dead end ), to this one, also in Sound & Audio.

This because I have found evidence of failure happening around the date ( 23/05/2015 ) my sound from my internal speakers packed it in.


This is caused by a mistake in the " Audiodg.exe ", which lives in " c:\Windows\System32\audiodg.exe."

Windows Audio Device Graph Isolation process ( audiodg.exe ) has terminated unexpectedly.
Process Exit code : 0x0x80070005.
Audiodg Termination code 2147942405.



Audiodg.exe handles Digital Signal Processing and Digital Rights management.

the svc host cannot do it.
Incorrectly designed application that uses the audio system incorrectly, or a defect in Windows.
NON MY WORDS.

Has to do with sound cards, or as the PC here is a Laptop audio processor.

The audiodg.exe properties show that it was created on 27/5/2015 and modified on 03/02/2015 Microsoft Application.

My laptop is dated end 2010 so there should be an older version to roll back to, but I don't get that option.

This is uptill now, all the info I have managed to get together.

Will now look for solutions ( delete, uninstall find new file version somewhere ?

DELL, Microsoft, Windows 7 forums .....................

Just did this as I found it exists

Hello, back again, been googling this audiodg.exe problem and have mostly encounter myself as I have been around asking info.)

Most of the time people are advised to use "reimage" when they have ID problems in the Event log, so I think that won't harm

volume mixer screenshot with external speakers plugged in listening to Adele on Y-tube. Very good sound.

Same with external speakers NOT plugged in and ZERO sound

I have now un-installed all sound related drivers (5) and when reboot not allowed Windows Update to find them. It's not a drivers issue, I have now the latest drivers from Dell, still not very recent but still.

Will have anew look now at the event log to see what's going wrong on my PC.

Be back later .......

In the task manager, there is no command line to audiodg.exe?

does this make sense to anybody, it cleared an audiodg.exe sound issue ;

I have never before seen this IDT Audio on my laptop. It says that HDMI is unplugged. Why ?
