How to Replace Audiosrv.dll File

1. Launch your web browser and navigate to a location where you can download a free, working version of audiosrv.dll (see Resources). Web sites that offer replacement .dll files for free are relatively common.
2. Click the link to download the file. If you're given an option of saving the file or opening it, choose to save it to your hard drive. Take note of the destination folder for the download, and wait for the download to finish.
3. Locate the downloaded file. If the file has a .dll extension, you can skip the rest of this step. If the file has a .zip extension, it must be unzipped first. Double click the file with the .zip extension and wait for your computer's default unzipping utility to launch. Find and click a button that says 'Unzip,' 'Unpack' or 'Extract.' When you're prompted for a location to which to extract the file, select your computer's desktop and click 'Open.' This will put audiosrv.dll on your desktop.
4. Open your computer's Windows system folder. To do this, double click the 'My Computer' icon, then double click the 'C:' icon in the 'My Computer' window. Double click the 'Windows' folder. If you're using Windows 2000 or NT, double click the 'WINNT' folder. Finally, double click the system folder, which has various names depending on your operating system. In Windows XP or Vista for 64-bit systems, it's 'SysWOW64.' In Windows XP, Vista, 2000 and NT for 32-bit systems, the folder is called 'System32.' In Windows 95, 98 and ME, it's 'System.'
5. Find the audiosrv.dll file that you downloaded or extracted and drag it into the system folder. If you already have a file of the same name stored in this folder, you may see a message asking you if you would like to replace the existing file. If this happens, you should click 'Yes' to replace the file.
6. Restart your computer. Even though the .dll file is in the system folder now, Windows won't recognize it until after you reboot.
