SAVER audio-driver hang bucket for SAVER_AUDIODRIVERHANG

SAVER_AUDIODRIVERHANG is bug check code 0x0000F400.

This bucket points at an audio stack or audio driver hang in the diagnostic path. Endpoint, APO, miniport, service, and app audio-session state are more useful than the bucket name alone.

How to read it in a dump

  • Treat this value as an internal diagnostic bucket from the Windows SAVER family, not as a classic blue-screen stop code with public parameter semantics.
  • the useful evidence is the dump type, WER bucket, triggering process, provider-specific data, and event-log context around the capture.
  • the symbolic name narrows the subsystem that requested capture; it does not by itself identify a defective driver or application.

What to check

  • Check audio endpoint, miniport, APO, Bluetooth/USB audio, and Windows Audio service events.
  • Correlate with device changes, sleep/resume, calls, media playback, or exclusive-mode audio.
  • Update or roll back audio drivers only after collecting dump and event evidence.
