audioswitcher.ax is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like audioswitcher.ax, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like AM_Delta.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. KMPlayer) could share the same audioswitcher.ax file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.
Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared AX file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when audioswitcher.ax is attempted to be loaded either when KMPlayer is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common audioswitcher.ax errors include:
- Access Violation at address - audioswitcher.ax.
- audioswitcher.ax could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\KMPlayer\audioswitcher.ax.
- Cannot register audioswitcher.ax.
- Cannot start KMPlayer. A required component is missing: audioswitcher.ax. Please install KMPlayer again.
- Failed to load audioswitcher.ax.
- The application has failed to start because audioswitcher.ax was not found.
- The file audioswitcher.ax is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because audioswitcher.ax was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your audioswitcher.ax file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with KMPlayer), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, audioswitcher.ax file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading KMPlayer, system crash while loading audioswitcher.ax, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
