Windows 10: audio failed to test tone and audio service not responding

after update wnowoes it showing above problems

try all the methods which are available on nets still not solve problem pls help

:)

 

Fail to play test tone on any audio device.

My computer is a windows 10 alienware laptop that has failed to play a test tone with my speakers, tv or bluetooth headphones. I believe my bluetooth headphones were connected when I walked out of range and disconnected which started the issue. I have tried
the following things to try and fix it.

Disabling and enabling the audio speakers

• Updating the drivers
• Uninstalling the drivers and restarting so that it automatically puts in the audio driver
• Restarting the Windows Audio Services
  
  sfc scannow to repair corrupted files
  
  Change the sample rate of the audio
  
  Disable audio enhancements
• Enable applications to take exclusive control of the device.
• Disable applications to take exclusive control of the device.
• I checked and no updates have been installed since it was working.
  
  Install High Definition Audio Device
• Run the troubleshooter
• Set audio speakers as the Default
• Try other speaker options such as BT headphones and a TV through HDMI
• Change local and user group settings

Any help and suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

 

Audio service not responding

Hello,

The audio on my computer isn't working. I've run Troubleshooter and this is what comes up:

Audio services not responding Not fixed

One or more audio service isn't running Completed

Both the Windows audio and Windows Audio End Point Builder services

must be running or audio to work correctly. At least one of these services isn't

running.

Suggestions?

Thanks,

Elda

 

Audio Services are not running / responding.

Charlie,

The Audio services not responding problem is very likely due to an outdated, corrupted or incompatible audio driver on your Windows. I'd like to ask, what do you mean by "to
boot in safe mode and or clean boot / wipe the system and that wouldn't be possible in my current situation"? Are you connected via domain server? Are you getting any error messages when you try to boot into safe mode and perform a clean boot?

In the meantime, I suggest that you follow these steps:

Step # 1: Restart your audio services.

1. Press Windows key + R and then type services.msc and click OK.
2. Find and right-click on "Windows Audio", then click Restart.
3. Right-click on Windows Audio one more time, this time click Properties.
4. Set the Startup type to Automatic. Click Apply > OK.
5. Do the same thing to "Windows Audio Endpoint Builder".
   

Note: If the Restart option grayed out, your Windows Audio Endpoint Builder service is not running, click Start instead.

Step # 2: Uninstall the audio driver in the Device Manager. Open Device Manager> Sound, video and game controllers> Right click the driver> Properties> Driver tab> Uninstall Device> Restart
your PC, and Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver.

Note: If the same issue persists after reinstalling the driver, please contact the audio card manufacturer's website and find and download the correct drivers for your device. Then install it on your computer manually.
