What are libaccess_wasapi_plugin.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library libaccess_wasapi_plugin.dll Errors

libaccess_wasapi_plugin.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like libaccess_wasapi_plugin.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like OneDriveSetup.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. VLC Media Player) could share the same libaccess_wasapi_plugin.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 libaccess_wasapi_plugin.dll is attempted to be loaded either when VLC Media Player is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common libaccess_wasapi_plugin.dll errors include:

Your libaccess_wasapi_plugin.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with VLC Media Player), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, libaccess_wasapi_plugin.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading VLC Media Player, system crash while loading libaccess_wasapi_plugin.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.

Download libaccess_wasapi_plugin.dll Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying libaccess_wasapi_plugin.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory. VideoLAN typically does not release VLC Media Player DLL files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing libaccess_wasapi_plugin.dll and all other DLL files for VLC Media Player. An incorrectly installed DLL file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
