Hi all
I have a red cross over the speaker in my task bar and if I hover over it, it says the audio service is not running. Thing is my sounds are playing fine! I have googled but none of the solutions get rid of the message, they all assume you have no sound, win 7 64, any idea anyone?
TIA

Yes, I run the same on my main PC and it has happened to me too although it's rare. Normally I just ignore it but I have rebooted and it's gone away. You could try to update the driver by going to Device Manager, but guess that you may have already tried this. The other thing - have you installed all the Windows 7 updates?0

I had this a few times, then it just stopped happening, you may be able to left click the icon and adjust the volume to remove the red marking0
