Windows 10: audio service is not working windows 10

this is probably the 3rd time i get this problem in couple months now, this morning my pc was working fine, sound was working as always, now i got back home from work,open my pc and i see a red dot on my sound icon and its saying "audio service is not running"

when i run the troubleshoot, it says "resolving problems" ; "starting services" and then a window pops up saying : problems found "one or more audio service is not working".

when i go to services and look up windows audio it says the service has stopped and i cant start it because i get some kind of error.

any ideas how do i fix this? i've been struggling with this for over an hour now, its driving me crazy

After running Audio troubleshooter error: 'one or more audio service isn't running'

Hi Peter,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

As you receive the error message: 'one or more audio service isn't running', this might have occurred due to the audio services.

I suggest you to restart the service, set it to automatic and check if it helps.

Step 1: Stop the Windows Audio service.

• Press Windows Key + R on the keyboard and type
  services.msc, Services window gets opened.
• Search for Windows Audio service, right click on it and click on
  Stop.
• Restart the computer.

Step 2: Start the service and set it to automatic:

• Press Windows Key + R on the keyboard and type
  services.msc, Services window gets opened.
• Search for Windows Audio service, right click on it and click on
  Properties.
• Start the service, set
  Startup type to Automatic.

Hope it helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of this issue for further assistance.

Windows Audio Service Stopped Working

For that particular error message, it seems that at least one of the 2 services, Windows Audio and Windows Audio Endpoint Builder isn't running. You may need to check if both Windows Audio and Windows Audio Endpoint Builder services are running.

Follow the steps provided below:

• Right-click on the Start icon on the lower left hand corner.
  
• Look for Run and click on it.
• Type in services.msc.
• Once the Services window is up, look for Windows Audio and Windows Audio Endpoint Builder.
• Make sure the 2 services are running and the Startup Type must be Automatic.

Let me know if you have questions.
