I own a Pavillion dv6 Entertainment PC with 64 bit Windows 7 Pro as its OS. Until yesterday, the CODEC provided great sound. Then it began expeiencing probles, and today quit working entirely.
I consulted Windows Event Viewer and found that, on multiple occasions beginning mid day yesterday, it began recording events with an Error message ID of 1005. Looking further, each one recorded that Windows could not open the same file: C:\Windows\System32\AudioEng.dll. and that Windows had stopped the service Windows Audio Graph Isolation as a result.
Windows Message Center recorded that it had tried and failed on 6 occasions to open this file. Following its suggested dolution, I ran CHKDSC with both options enabled. Upon completion, its report showed 0 Bad Files processed and - bytes in bad sectors. Yet the problems persist.
Is this a problem with a corrupted driver? If so, how do I find a driver newer than version 6.10.6276.0, released in 2010?
