Hi everyone,
I’ve been running into the “Audio renderer error. Please restart your computer” message on Windows 11. It usually happens while watching videos, and restarting the PC fixes it temporarily, but the problem eventually comes back.
I’ve tried restarting the Windows Audio service, checking the default playback device, and updating the audio drivers, but I haven’t found a permanent solution yet.
While looking into it, I also came across this guide with several different fixes:

Has anyone here dealt with this recently? I’d be interested to know what actually worked for you, especially if the cause turned out to be the audio driver, Windows Audio service, browser, or playback device.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
