About Sttray.exe
System Tray for Sigmatel HD Audio Driver, or in more simple words – part of your sound card driver. It ships with many OEM systems and integrated motherboards and its usual path is: C:\Program Files\Sigmatel\C-Major Audio\WDM

Without this file or by deactivating it, you might no longer have any sound or your sound card might not work properly – DO NOT remove/deactivate it!

Typical errors

The cause to these errors
Your audio drivers might have gotten corrupted or you’re using an outdated/incorrect audio driver. (From time to time Windows auto-update updates some of your drivers, and not always it matches your specific audio card model together with the correct driver…)
