Don't know yet if its a permanent solution, but I took another route...I was having the same symptoms reported, failing sound, only windows sound and Youtube playback error...but what took my attention is that if I go to control panel/sound and selected the speakers to try a test, there was a "another app using sound" error...so I entered properties/advanced and deselected "allow apps to take exclusive control of this device"....the problem disappeared and its been ok for the last few hours. Will report back if problem comes back. [IMAGE]
Lately, I've been having a lot of audio issues with my laptop. Sometimes, the audio will cut off out of nowhere. When watching a YouTube video, it would say, "Audio renderer error. Please restart your computer." When I restart the laptop, it fixes itself, but the problem always comes back later, requiring me to restart it several times each day. The system doesn't detect any issues and all drivers are up to date. This seems to be a known issue among the XPS line. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks in advance.
