No Audio after Mcafee was uninstalled.

[A Spicy Noodle]

I uninstalled Mcafee and selected remove all files. Then I restarted my computer and the sound was gone. Restarted it again and the sound appears but has a red x on it. I right click on it and it says no audio devices are installed. It was working perfectly fine before I uninstalled Mcafee. When I click on the white arrow and then go to customise it shows Mcafee and Malwarebytes has the option to change the notification or icon When I click on show icons and notifications it says that it is not currently available. Can I remove them from there? I uninstalled both of them what is going on?? Please help me get my sound back.

I have audio drivers when I go to my control panel and go to the uninstall a program area but it says no audio devices installed when I go to playback devices.

I'm not sure if this makes a difference but the realtek high definition audio driver is version 6.0.1.7358 and the one you linked is different. Should I install it then? but then i'd have 2 and do I need 2?

I found a post on sevenforums or something and it told me to see if Multimedia Class Scheduler was on but it wasn't so I turned it on and then I was able to turn on Windows Audio.

Question from A Spicy Noodle : "Turning on Multimedia Class Scheduler"

My sound wasn't working and it had an x on it. I saw this post on some forum and it said turn on Windows Audio but it didn't let me and I then found out you need Multimedia Class Scheduler turned on to be able to turn on Windows Audio in Local Services. Does turning on multimedia class scheduler and if it does is there any way to disable it and somehow still have sound?

"Does turning on multimedia class scheduler and if it does is there any way to disable it and somehow still have sound?"
"Windows Audio" does have the "Multimedia Class Scheduler" dependency.
So, yes, it must be on to have audio in windows.

Why is it turned off anyway?
Are you confused about what it's for or suspecting an issue with it?

Question from A Spicy Noodle : "Windows Audio in Local Services"

I can't start Windows Audio in Local Services. The volume icon has a red circle and a white x on it. This happened after I uninstalled Mcafee and it says that there are no audio devices installed when I go to playback devices.I have installed another audio driver but it still doesn't work. What can I do to fix this?

When I try start Windows Audio in Local Services it says Windows could not start the Windows Audio service on Local Computer
Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start.

I looked at some thread on sevenforums or something and it told me to go to local services see if Multimedia class scheduler and it was off so I turned it on then I was able to turn on Windows Audio.

I had the same problem. This morning I uninstalled McAfee and Malwarebytes and lost sound, so I had to restore my computer to an earlier date, and now I have my sound back--as WELL as McAfee and Malwarebytes. Oh well!

I had the same problem. This morning I uninstalled Mcafee and Malwarebytes--and lost audio on my computer. So I had to restore my computer to an earlier date and got my sound back, as well as McAfee and Malwarebytes. I don't understand why uninstalling these cost me my sound, but I'm glad I have it back!
