Audio Service Fails Occasionally

Hi HumbleBears, I'm Graeme, an independent adviser here to help.

If you've already run the troubleshooter, it might be a good next step to try reinstalling your audio drivers. Here are the steps:

- Press Windows Key+X and choose Device Manager.

- Find your audio device in the list.

- Right-click it and choose Update Driver.

- If that doesn't work, try uninstalling it and then scan for hardware changes to reinstall the driver.

If that doesn't help, then you might need to download the latest drivers for your audio hardware from the manufacturer website. If you can let me know what brand and model your PC is, I can help you find them.

Let me know how you go! Thanks!
