Trouble With Windows 8 Sound.?

Hi-

I've recently installed Windows 8 Developer Preview on a spare PC. However, I have no sound. When I try to run Windows Audio in Services.msc, I get the error message: Error 1297: A privilege that the service requires to function properly does not exist in the service account configuration. You may use the Services Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in (services.msc) and the Local Security Settings MMC snap-in (secpol.msc) to view the service configuration and the account configuration. Can anyone help me fix this? Thanks!

    Sorry kid but that version is still under development. It's still not a finished product. What you get is what you get. If you don't want to have problems, stop volunteering yourself as a tester and just wait for the final release.

    you probably did a reasonably risky component to put in living house windows 8. The sound won't fix different than you substitute your working technique. attempt to establish living house windows 7. This sound situation is a working laptop or malicious application in Win8. It got here approximately to me too.
