7. Defina o dispositivo de áudio padrão

Às vezes, o Windows tem problemas para identificar o dispositivo de som padrão. E é também por isso que ele pode mostrar o erro do renderizador de áudio, seja no YouTube ou em qualquer outro lugar. Para resolver este problema irritante, você só precisa definir seu dispositivo de áudio favorito como padrão novamente. Veja como:

1. Pressione a tecla Win , digite Painel de controle e abra este aplicativo
2. Clique em Som
3. Escolha seu dispositivo de áudio na guia Reprodução
4. Clique em Definir padrão
5. Se o botão Definir padrão estiver esmaecido, selecione qualquer outro dispositivo para defini-lo como padrão e volte para a primeira opção
6. Clique em Aplicar e saia desta área
7. Verifique se há problemas de áudio

8. Reinstale o adaptador de áudio

Seu adaptador de áudio pode não estar conectado corretamente ao seu computador. No entanto, você pode reinstalá-lo sem esforço, sem danificar seu PC no processo. Aqui está o que você precisa fazer:

1. Right-click the Start button and select Device Manager
2. Extend the Audio inputs and outputs group
3. Identify your main audio device, right-click it, and select Uninstall device
4. Select any entry from the list
5. Open the Action menu and click Scan for hardware changes
6. Restart your computer. Windows will auto-reinstall the missing audio driver
7. Check for sound problems

9. Update the audio driver

Even if your sound adapter is correctly installed, perhaps it’s equipped with an obsolete driver that’s no longer supported by Windows 10. It would certainly explain the audio renderer error. However, you can easily update the audio driver:

1. Click the Start button, type Device Manager, and press Enter
2. Expand the Audio inputs and outputs category
3. Right-click your primary audio adapter and select Update driver
4. Click Search automatically for updated driver software
5. If you see the The best drivers for your device are already installed message, click Search for updated drivers on Windows Update
6. Reboot your PC and check for additional audio issues

It’s possible that Microsoft fails to find a newer audio driver using Windows Update. In that case, you should head over to the manufacturer website of your sound adapter, then find, download, and install a newer driver that’s compatible with your OS configuration.

However, if you don’t want to go through that trouble as well as risk installing an incompatible driver that could cause more problems, we suggest opting for a driver updating software solution. You can use it to keep all your device drivers in check.

10. Roll back the audio driver

If you have recently updated your sound driver, perhaps you installed an incompatible version that’s throwing you the audio renderer error. To fix it, you should roll back to the previous driver version. Here’s how:

1. Head over to Device Manager
2. Right-click your audio device and go to Properties
3. Select the Driver tab
4. Click Roll Back Driver and follow the given instructions
5. If the button is greyed out, it means that your operating system doesn’t have the previous driver version, so you can skip this solution
6. Restart your computer and inspect results

11. Check the audio cable

It’s a good idea to check your audio cable to see if there’s anything wrong with it since hardware problems can cause audio renderer errors, too. If you have multiple audio inputs on your computer, try sticking the audio jack somewhere else in case you have malfunctioning jacks.

In fact, if you have several external playback devices plugged into your machine, it’s a good idea to remove the ones you’re not currently using. Furthermore, make sure that you didn’t accidentally swap the audio and microphone jacks in the process.

12. Disable audio mixing software

Certain audio mixing tools are not fully compatible with the Windows 10 sound drivers, resulting in conflicts and the audio renderer error message. As soon as you start an audio mixing tool and configure sound drivers, the application overrides the system settings, causing various problems.

To fix this problem, you just need to disable your audio mixing tools when trying to watch a movie offline or a clip on YouTube.

13. Update your web browser

If you’re getting the audio renderer error message on YouTube when trying to enjoy a video, it’s a good idea to update your web browser to the latest version.

How to update Google Chrome:

1. Open the More menu on the top-right corner
2. Visit the Help submenu and click About Google Chrome. Alternatively, you can visit the chrome://settings/help address
3. Wait until Chrome downloads and installs any available updates
4. Click Relaunch and try to watch YouTube

How to update Mozilla Firefox:

5. Restart the browser and inspect results

14. Disable hardware acceleration

Modern web browsers take advantage of your computer’s hardware acceleration to improve the page loading speed and enhance your overall browsing experience. However, users report that it has interfered with the audio driver, causing rendering errors. To fix this issue, you have to turn off hardware acceleration for each browser.

How to disable hardware acceleration in Google Chrome:

1. Open the More button and go to Settings
2. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Advanced
3. At System, turn off Use hardware acceleration when available

5. Watch YouTube and check for audio errors

15. Disable your ad blocker

Many YouTube users who have encountered the audio renderer error said that they managed to fix this problem by deactivating the ad blocker built into the web browser. Otherwise, you should whitelist YouTube to make sure that video ads are permitted.

1. Go to the Adblock Plus settings panel
2. Jump to the Whitelisted websites area
3. Type youtube.com and click Add website

16. Try using a different web browser

An unforeseen number of browser settings can interfere with multimedia features, so it’s a good idea to change your web browser. Switch to an application that has default settings. You can import your bookmarks and other website data, but make sure to leave the browser configuration untouched.

Then, head over to YouTube or the platform that throws the audio renderer error to test it out. If it works, you can stick to the new browser for audio and use your preferred application for everything else.

17. Update Windows 10

It’s essential to keep Windows 10 updated to the latest edition so that you can take advantage of the newest features, hotfixes, and security patches. If there’s a known problem with the audio, it will likely get fixed in the upcoming system update.

The Audio renderer error can be fixed

To review, you can stumble upon the audio renderer error when trying to watch a video on YouTube, in your media player, or anywhere else. It’s caused by a hardware or software issue which you should be able to fix.

For instance, you can clear browser cache, run the audio troubleshooter, make sure the sound device is enabled and set as default, restart the Windows Audio service, synchronize the sample rate for ASIO drivers, as well as run audio tests on HP laptops.

It’s also a good idea to reinstall the audio adapter, update the audio driver or roll back to a compatible version, check the cables and remove extra peripheral devices, disable any audio mixing software, update your web browser, as well as disable hardware acceleration.
