I am currently having a problem with the windows 7 64-bit audio service. Whenever I start dawn of war 2, the moment it gets into the menu screen, the sound suddenly change to my laptop's speakers, not the external speakers which are also plugged in. Windows Live prompt that my playback device was removed and also my recording device was removed too.

Then if I attempt to unplug the cord of the speakers and plug it in again, it switches back to the external speaker but for only about 1 second, the audio service shuts down. I have to manually switch it on. But the problem will just happen again.

If I get out of the game and then unplug the cord when no sound is playing, the audio service does not shut down. I plug it in again and try to play some music, the sound goes back to the external speakers. But the problem also happens again if I open the game.

I get this problem with cnc 3 but in cnc 3, I have the problem right when the game's started. I remember having this problem a few times with Skype too but it just automatically switches back to the external speakers without me doing anything.

I can play BW without any sound problems though. This make me wonder because Skype, cnc 3 and dawn of war 2 all use recording device and playback device while BW only does playback.

I have tried to reinstall the audio driver from HP but it does not help anything. So, anyone had this problem and was able to solve it?

Being forgotten is worse than death.

Seriously, ditto. Check if it's your primary audio.

just disable the laptop speakers. You can re-enable them in sound properties later on
