7. Imposta il dispositivo audio predefinito

Windows a volte ha problemi a identificare il dispositivo audio predefinito. E questo è anche il motivo per cui potrebbe mostrare l’errore del renderer audio, sia che lo trovi su YouTube o altrove. Per risolvere questo fastidioso problema, devi solo impostare nuovamente il tuo dispositivo audio preferito come predefinito. Ecco come:

1. Premi il tasto Win , digita Pannello di controllo e apri questa applicazione
2. Fai clic su Audio
3. Scegli il tuo dispositivo audio dalla scheda Riproduzione
4. Fai clic su Imposta
5. Se il pulsante Imposta predefinito è disattivato, seleziona qualsiasi altro dispositivo per impostarlo come predefinito, quindi torna alla prima opzione
6. Fai clic su Applica ed esci da quest’area
7. Verifica la presenza di problemi audio

8. Reinstallare l’adattatore audio

L’adattatore audio potrebbe non essere collegato correttamente al computer. Tuttavia, puoi reinstallarlo senza sforzo senza danneggiare il tuo PC nel processo. Ecco cosa devi fare:

1. Fai clic con il pulsante destro del mouse sul pulsante Start e seleziona Gestione dispositivi
2. Estendi il gruppo Ingressi e uscite audio
3. Identifica il tuo dispositivo audio principale, fai clic con il pulsante destro del mouse e seleziona Disinstalla dispositivo
4. Seleziona una voce dall’elenco
5. Apri il menu Azione e fai clic su Rileva modifiche hardware
6. Riavvia il 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. Ecco come:

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.

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.

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

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
