Explanation (?): |
The windows audio service is simply a toggle switch for any audio device in your computer. If this service exists then you will need to have the service start in order for applications to detect that there's a valid audio device, even if the device exists in the device profile. To disable this service set it to disabled. Once disabled it will take a restart to terminate this service as you cannot terminate it during a Windows session. In some Windows servers this service will be disabled by default as they don't expect a server to be playing sound effects (for good reason). It is highly recommended you leave this set to automatic unless you will never need sound. |

"Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship[...] Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country." - Herman Goering: Intelligence office interview at Nuremberg, 1946/4/18
