    My PC crashes because of my audio, what can i do?


    Hello guys!Firstly, sorry if my english is not the best, my native language is not english.So, I have a little problem, my PC crashes because of the Dolby DAX API Service.I have a Lenovo Legion PC with an Intel Core i5-10400F, a GTX 1660 Super card, and about 1500 gb of storage.The problem is that when I start doing anything what is sound related, my PC freezes and a weird high pitch sound starts "playing", like if you plug in your speakers to your PC via cable, that kind of sound.I tried everything, a updated Windows with the recommended updates too, I updated my graphics card

    :)

  2. Windows Audio Crashes

    My audio stops working when ever a mic is turned on.

    On login, audio output works normally, however, when ever any mic is used, both audio input and output crash and a red x shows up on the taskbar audio icon.

    It seems the Windows Audio service is what crashes.

    After the first crash, the audio does not come back no matter what I do until I restart my pc.

    I can replicate this with the following steps:

    1. Login to pc
      • audio output working fine
    2. Open sound settings, opens to playback tab
      • audio still fine and also able to play test sounds
    3. Click on Recording Tab
      • The sound feedback indicator on the right side is missing
      • The window freezes, error window appears about DLL crash
      • If there is no connected or enabled recording device, nothing happens everything else seem to run normally
    4. Proceed to follow various trouble shooting steps
      • Some troubleshooting steps seems to get rid of the red x on the taskbar volume icon
      • The recording tab in the sound settings is also now accessible
      • However things may seem fine at first, audio input/output is still not working and playing a test sound fails.

    Solutions I've Tried:

    • DISM (ended with no errors)
    • sfc /scannow (found corrupted files, required restart)
    • Restarting Windows Audio Service (results in err 1061, service then gets stuck on stopping)
    • Disabling and re-enabling audio drivers
    • Reinstalling audio drivers from manufacturers site
    • Using windows generic audio drivers
    • Restarting my PC
    As you can see, I've spent a lot of time trying to fix this issue and it is starting to get really frustrating.

    all games crash!

    I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
    Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
    What happens?
    If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

    P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
    Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
    What X1800XT model do you own exactly?
