Lost sound and cant figure out the reason

[herb1]

Hi, I have a hp pavillion desktop. AMD Athlonx2 running windows 7 with 6gb ram. I started my computer this morning and I have no sound. I ran the troubleshooter and it reported that windows audio wasn't running so I checked services and they are on automatic but not running so I clicked on start this service and got an error 1068 and it said that the dependency service or group failed to start. I also tried to start service on windows audio endpoint builder and got error 1722 and it said the RPC server is unavailable. Can you please help me out here. Last night I disabled some unesessary services so possibly I disabled one that I shouldn't have. I tried restarting those services but to no avail. I also downloaded updates last night. I appreciate your time on this, herb1

Try uninstalling your current sound drivers. And reinstall the updated drivers.

sounds like system restore time if that ^ doesnt help

I was getting to that.

Really the best fix for this is system restore. To a point right before you stopped services.

If the above does not work, yes a restore. It will not affect the restore in any way.
