endpoint_volume.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like endpoint_volume.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like MpSigStub.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Breakaway Audio Enhancer) could share the same endpoint_volume.dll 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 DLL 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 endpoint_volume.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Breakaway Audio Enhancer is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common endpoint_volume.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - endpoint_volume.dll.
- endpoint_volume.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Breakaway\endpoint_volume.dll.
- Cannot register endpoint_volume.dll.
- Cannot start Breakaway Audio Enhancer. A required component is missing: endpoint_volume.dll. Please install Breakaway Audio Enhancer again.
- Failed to load endpoint_volume.dll.
- The application has failed to start because endpoint_volume.dll was not found.
- The file endpoint_volume.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because endpoint_volume.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your endpoint_volume.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Breakaway Audio Enhancer), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, endpoint_volume.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Breakaway Audio Enhancer, system crash while loading endpoint_volume.dll, 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.
