windows 7 audio randomly stops


I'm running the Windows 7 RC and sometimes my sound would stop randomly. For example, I would be listening to something, then the sound would suddenly stop. Even while there is no sound, there doesn't seem to be a problem with the drivers. Usually a quick reboot will fix the issue.


I found the same problem here


Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, is there something I can do to get the sound back without restarting my computer each time?



Answer



Instead of rebooting, try this:


net stop audiosrv
net start audiosrv

requires admin (elevated) command prompt; works on Vista and Win7.
