Step-by-Step Fix
1
Check Dependencies
Ensure "Remote Procedure Call (RPC)" and "Windows Audio Endpoint Builder" are running.
2
Run Audio Troubleshooter
Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters > Audio.

SFC /SCANNOW
Repair the system files that govern the audio service.
When to See a Technician
If the service won't start, check its dependencies; if one is disabled, the whole audio stack fails.
