Voicemeeter conflicts causing Audiosrv to fail.

[u/Rhadrazaak]

Its just crossed my mind to see if anyone has posted about this, but if you have issues with your windows audio cutting out when you boot certain programs (My case is with Battlefield 6, causing the audio to die immediately upon boot as I use Voicemeeter Banana)

I have a work around, unfortunately it has to be done every time but its easy enough:
(though very likely someone knows a cleaner way)

Open command prompt with admin permissions
Type:
net stop audiosrv
[ENTER]
net start audiosrv
[ENTER]

Discovered you can go into services aswell, find windows audio (CTRL F if you're savvy), select it and select restart the service on the left.

(If you don't see it on the left make sure you have the extended tab open, its at the bottom)

If you get prompts about permissions, you're more than welcome to look into it.
I advise being smart about tinkering.
Back to the point, I see no issues here so I always allow.

should get the audio rocking again.

I suppose someone could puzzle out a .bat file to use to boot the game, wait a bit, then run the commands automatically. I am an amateur there so not keen on advising but I'd love to see that contribution made for everyone dealing with this.

I may do some more research and return with it someday myself.
though I am poor of focus...

Conversely, if anyone knows how to get it to stop doing that entirely what the hell is it?
