Sound doesn’t always work

“Most times I switch my computer on my sound doesn’t work.Other times it does.Do you have any idea what is wrong?”

The most common problem is the Windows Audio Service being set to “manual”. To fix this, open your Control Panel, click Administrative Tools then Services.

Scroll down the list until you find Windows Audio, double click on it and change the Startup Type to Automatic.

Click Start and once the service starts, click Okay and you’re back in business.

    1. Thanks for the tip. This solution worked on my Windows 7 as well. I just did what you said then clicked on “restart this service” and my audio was fixed.
