Audio device not working after resuming from sleep

[Said "Szajd" Dániel]

Hi,

Does anyone else have this, and a workaround?

I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate (RTM) since about November, and I still
can't start using the otherwise great Sleep feature.

My audio device stops working after resuming from sleep (S3). There's no way
I can recover the device (Device Manager doesn't help either). Only a
restart helps.

I know about the KB article 929685, but that only refers to HD audio
devices, which is not applicable for me.

I have an integrated SoundMAX card (AD1888, Analog Devices, Inc. --
Fujitsu-Siemens Computer). On the Fujitsu-Siemens website, the latest driver
for AD 1888 is dated 2005. I have the latest BIOS revision on my
motherboard.

Thanks,
Szajd

What's your motherboard?

Szajd, you didn't say if you lose the audio device every time your
computer resumes from sleep or only some of the time. Which is it?

There's now three of us with this problem. Between us we have Acer,
Asus and Gigabyte motherboards. We also have Realtek HD and SoundMAX
AC' 97 audio codecs. I built my own computer and did a clean install
of Vista. The other guy bought a new Acer with Vista preinstalled.
Szajd, I'm guessing you have a pre-Vista computer and you upgraded to
Vista. Is that correct?

I haven't any others posting about this problem. Maybe it's a
relatively rare problem. Maybe something else in our computers is
interacting with Vista to trigger this. I wonder if besides Vista
there anything else our computers have in common. Here is some more
specifications for my computer.

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3 LGA 775 Intel P965
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E4300
Video Card: EVGA 256-P2-N550 -T2 GeForce 7600GT
Disk Drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB SATA
RAM: G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 800
Optical Drive: SAMSUNG dual layer DVD burner
PCI Card: An Old Compaq Firewire (IEEE 1394) card with a TI firewire
chip

What does your computer have?

I just located a MS knowledge base article that may cover this
problem. It is here:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929734

Unfortunatly you can't download the hotfix. You have to call them to
get it.

I have been having the same problem and ran across a fix last night:

My system:
Vista Ultimate
Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 with Realtek ALC888 8 Channel Audio Codec (HD)

I have been installing the latest Realtek drivers and bios updates as the
come out with no sucess.

SOLUTION:
In Device Manager uninstall the audio driver.
Put the computer in sleep mode.
Wake up the computer from sleep and it will detect the unintalled audio
hardware and automatically install the driver.
This seems to have fixed my computer!

Have you tested this for serveral sleep and wake-up cycles? Did that
permanently fix the problem?

At Gigabyte's request, I uninstalled the drivers, put the computer to
sleep and woke it up several times. Sometime it detected the audio
device and reinstalled the drivers. Sometimes it did not. So this
didn't help me. By do this, Gigabyte was tring to rule out a driver
issue.

Just now it failed again. I did cycle in and out of sleep and also let it go
to sleep on it's own off and on for a day and it appeared to be fixed but
it's not. I guess I'll just have to go back to waiting on MS to patch it.

I tested it many times successfully but now it doesn't work again. I was
premature in my celebration.

Yes it's very random. At times you get a streak of no failures then
it seems to fail every time. Have you submited this to Microsoft? I
have the OEM version and I'd have to pay to do so.

Had the same problem with Vista...(no audio device installed)
Try this it works.........first go to microsoft and install the
upgrade
(KB929685).....then go to the control panel>system>device
manager.....highlight the sound controller.......uninstall the High
Defination Sound Device and uninstall the driver (check
box)........restart
the computer and the system will reinstall both and the upgrade
prevents it
from happening again.

[George]

I've already tried the KB929685 update. It won't install. I get the
message that the update doesn't apply to my system.

I have a Realtek ALC888 HD audio codec on a Gigabyte 965P-DS3 Revision
2 motherboard. What hardware do you have? My guess is that the
update is not for all audio codecs.
