4) Sample log file should look like:



5) Lookup the status code against the below MSDN list of HHTP status codes:

The below was an annoying message on every restart:

Disabling kX mixer from the startup application (from Task Manager) solved it; however, the audio continued to function without any issue:

This one did not work for me:
