Hi,
I have been having some problems with my audio recently. My laptop is a 3 week old HP Pavilion 15-p189sa displaying the sign "the audio service is not running". I have read nearly all of the forums on this relating to this problem and have uninstalled AVG did a system restore, tried starting windows audio in computer management and updated and restarted my laptop numerous times but to no avail. I would very much appreciate it if you could help me out with this matter ASAP.

Try to reinstall Audio Driver may help.
