При установке современных драйверов звуковой карты в Windows 11 и Windows 10 по умолчанию автоматически скачивается приложение настроек Realtek Audio Console, иногда приходится выполнить действия, чтобы скачать приложение вручную. Однако, многие пользователи сталкиваются с тем, что после установки и запуска в окне приложения появляется сообщение «Невозможно подключиться к службе RPC» и доступа к параметрам нет.
В этой пошаговой инструкции о том, как исправить ошибку «Невозможно подключиться к службе RPC» при запуске Realtek Audio Console и дополнительная информация, которая может быть полезной. На близкую тему: Как скачать и установить Realtek Audio Console.
Включение автозапуска Realtek Audio Universal Service
Основная причина ошибки при подключении к службе RPC в контексте Realtek Audio Console — отключение необходимого пункта в автозагрузке Windows 11/10, а также соответствующей службы: этом может быть сделано как вручную пользователем, так и какими-либо программами для оптимизации.
Шаги для исправления ситуации будут следующими:
- Нажмите правой кнопкой мыши по кнопке «Пуск» и выберите пункт «Диспетчер задач».
- В Диспетчере задач перейдите на вкладку «Автозагрузка приложений» (в Windows 11) или «Автозагрузка» (в Windows 10).
- Найдите пункт RtkAudUService64.exe (решение при его отсутствии будет описано в следующем разделе инструкции) и убедитесь, что в столбце «Состояние» указано «Включено». Если это не так, нажмите по пункту правой кнопкой мыши и выберите пункт «Включить» в контекстном меню. Закройте диспетчер задач.
- Нажмите правой кнопкой мыши по кнопке «Пуск», выберите пункт «Выполнить», введите services.msc и нажмите Enter.
- В окне со списком служб найдите Realtek Audio Universal Service и дважды нажмите по имени службы.
- Если в поле «Тип запуска» установлено «Отключена» или «Вручную», измените значение на «Автоматически» и нажмите «Ок».
- Закройте окно «Службы» и перезагрузите компьютер.
После перезагрузки проверьте, запускается ли Realtek Audio Console теперь: с большой вероятностью ошибка «Невозможно подключиться к службе RPC» будет исправлена.
Некоторые дополнительные сведения, которые могут пригодиться, если вы столкнулись с рассматриваемой проблемой:
- Если пункты RtkAudUServcieexe или Realtek Audio Universal Service отсутствуют в автозагрузке и списке служб соответственно, при этом у вас звуковая карта Realtek, попробуйте переустановить её драйвер, скачав его с официального сайта производителя материнской платы или ноутбука. Учитывайте, что для работы приложения должен использоваться новый драйвер DCH (DCHU), который может быть недоступен для очень старых устройств. В этом случае можно попробовать использовать неофициальный Realtek Universal Audio Driver, доступный на GitHub
- Если всё необходимое было включено, при этом приложение Realtek Audio Universal Service продолжает сообщать об ошибке, причиной может быть отключение системных служб в ходе «оптимизации» системы: потребуется вернуть их запуск в состояние по умолчанию.
- В ситуации, когда до недавнего времени приложение работало, а теперь перестало, может помочь откат драйвера звуковой карты, либо использование точек восстановления системы.
Надеюсь, один из вариантов сработает в вашем случае, и проблема с работой Realtek Audio Console будет решена.
В этой публикации, друзья, рассмотрим, что делать, когда при попытке запуска приложения аудиодрайвера Realtek Audio Console мы получаем ошибку
«Невозможно подключиться к службе RPC».
Эта ошибка делает запуск приложения Realtek Audio Console невозможным. Как устранить ошибку?
Realtek Audio Console — это современное приложение от компании Realtek, производителя чипов аудиокарт на большинстве компьютеров. Предоставляет расширенные возможности по настройке звука. Устанавливается вместе с аудиодрайверами, скачанными на сайте производителя материнской платы, ноутбука или внешней аудиокарты. Также это приложение можно отдельно установить в магазине Microsoft Store. В своей работе Realtek Audio Console использует протокол RPC (Remote Procedure Call). И за такое использование отвечает служба аудиодрайвера Realtek Audio Universal Service. Причины рассматриваемой ошибки могут крыться в службе Realtek Audio Universal Service, аудиодрайвере и самом протоколе RPC.
С ошибкой «Невозможно подключиться к службе RPC» при запуске приложения Realtek Audio Console будем сталкиваться, если не запущена служба аудиодрайвера Realtek Audio Universal Service. Первым делом смотрим автозагрузку Windows, можно в штатном диспетчере задач (запуск клавишами Ctrl+Shift+Esc). В разделе «Автозагрузка приложений» нам нужен процесс RtkAudUService64.exe, это процесс службы аудиодрайвера Realtek Audio Universal Service. Если процесс RtkAudUService64.exe отключён, включаем его автозапуск вместе с Windows.
Далее открываем консоль служб Windows. Можно в том же диспетчере задач, в разделе «Службы» есть возможность запуска консоли services.msc – пункт меню «Открыть службы».
Или можно в системный поиск вписать:
Ищем в консоли службу Realtek Audio Universal Service. Двойным кликом раскрываем её. Смотрим, чтобы тип запуска был установлен «Автоматически». Если нет, устанавливаем тип «Автоматически» и жмём внизу «Применить».
Перезагружаем компьютер. И проверяем запуск приложения Realtek Audio Console.
Примечание: друзья, если вы использовали какие-то программы для оптимизации Windows путём отключения её системных служб, и в результате служба Realtek Audio Universal Service была отключена с помощью одной из таких программ, возможно, для включения службы Realtek Audio Universal Service потребуется участие этой программы.
Если предложенное выше не решило проблему, либо, возможно, друзья, у вас нет в числе объектов автозагрузки процесса RtkAudUService64.exe, необходимо разбираться с аудиодрайвером.
Для начала можно попробовать его обновить. Для этого скачиваем дистрибутив драйвера со страницы спецификаций материнской платы или ноутбука на официальном сайте их производителя, либо с сайта самой компании Realtek.
И устанавливаем (как обычную программу) поверх существующего аудиодрайвера.
Это обновит драйвер и решит проблему, если причинами были его устаревшая версия или нецелостность файлов. Если обновление аудиодрайвера не решает проблему, возможно, поможет откат его к предыдущей версии.
В крайнем случае выполняем чистую установку аудиодрайвера, предварительно удалив старый аудиодрайвер с помощью бесплатной программы Display Driver Uninstaller. В окне программы справа выбираем пункты «Аудио» и «Realtek». Слева вверху жмём «Удалить и перезагрузить».
После перезагрузки устанавливаем аудиодрайвер с нуля.
Причиной ошибки «Невозможно подключиться к службе RPC» при запуске приложения Realtek Audio Console может быть сам протокол RPC из-за проблем в работе Windows. Необходимо восстановить целостность системных файлов.
Ну и, друзья, решение для тех из вас, у кого на критический случай имеются точка восстановления Windows или её бэкап. Точка восстановления или бэкап позволят вернуть операционную систему к более раннему состоянию, когда протокол RPC работал нормально.
