Hi! I'm currently having an issue which the audio kept stopped working and the audio related websites such as YouTube started to crash. I tried restarting the Windows Audio service and it seems to work but after a while the audio stopped working again. I tried using sfc /scannow but it mentioned the corrupt file is unable to repair. I've tried running the SFCFix.exe and the results is shown:

SFCFix.txt:

Hi and welcome to Sysnative. The files that are referenced that have issues are related to your Antivirus Avast. Are you using the free version of the software? I assume you are using the most current version?

Please let me know. Thanks.
 
First thing we should do is uninstall Avast from Add/Remove programs. Once you have removed it please follow the instructions at the link below to run the Avast Uninstall Utility to clean up any remnants that are left over.
Avast Uninstall Utility | Download aswClear for Avast Removal

Once this is complete, then please do the following.

SFC Scan
1. Right-click on the Start
w8start.png
button and select Command Prompt (Admin)
2. When command prompt opens, Copy (Ctrl+C) and Paste (Right-click > Paste) the following command into it, then press Enter
 sfc /scannow

3. Once it finishes, copy and paste the following into the command-prompt window and press Enter.
copy %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log "%userprofile%\Desktop\cbs.txt"

4. Once this has completed please go to your Desktop and you will find CBS.txt => Right-click on this file and choose Send To...Compressed (zipped folder). Please upload this zipped file CBS.zip to this thread

Please Note:: if the file is too big to upload to your next post please upload via a service such as Dropbox or One Drive or SendSpace and just provide the link.
 
Avira Free 2015 is uninstalled and the steps are followed.

The cbs.zip requested is uploaded.

Thanks.

Thanks. Next step is I need your hives.

Retrieve Components/Software Hives
Note: The Software have has confidential and sensitive information in it so please send me a PM with a link to that particular hive so it's not in the public form.
  • Please download the Freeware RegBak from here: Acelogix Software - Download products
     You will find it at the bottom of the page that the link brings you to.
  • Go ahead and install this program and accept all the defaults. After the last install screen the program should open.
  • Click the New Backup button. Accept the defaults and simply click Start.
  • When it says Finished successfully, click the Close button.
  • This will bring you back to the main screen of the program. You will see one entry in this list with the date that you did it. Right-click on this line-item and select Explore Backup...
  • This will bring you into the folder where the backup was made. You should see a Users folder and a Windows folder along with a couple other files. Double-click on the Windows folder to open it. Then open the System32 folder and then config folder. You should see around 6 files in here, two of which are named COMPONENTS and SOFTWARE.
  • Copy these two files to your Desktop. If the COMPONENTS file does not exist, please fetch it instead from C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS.
  • Now right click on these files on your desktop and select Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.
  • Then please upload the zip file(s) to your favourite file sharing website (it will be too big to upload here). Examples of services to upload to are Dropbox or One Drive or SendSpace and then just provide the link in your reply.
  • You can close any open windows you have as well as the RegBack program now.
