  1. Audio driver stops Windows 11 from going to sleep


    I'm so sick of these random things stopping my computer from going to sleep and finding my computer still on after 12+ hours.... How do I stop this Realtek driver from keeping my computer awake?There are no power options in the device manager, so that is a non-starter. Drivers are up to date, according to windows update.Long standing admiration will go to anyone who can help me solve this issue!

    :)

    Everyone that post ids, need just do these steps and you will be good. I kinda tired of keep on uploading the inf. file

    1.Go Open up device manager
    2. Go under sound,video, and game controllers
    3. Find Realtek High Definition Audio
    4. Right click and hit update driver
    5. Browse my computer for driver software
    6. Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer
    7. Click Have Disk and hit browse
    8. Click on the Realtek HD Audio mod folder and look for win64
    9. Click on the HDXRT4 and click ok,
    10. Click Next and Yes
    additional if you want dts audio and others, install it now before next step.
    After it is done, restart the PC

    You should be good then and also make sure before doing these steps that you have driver enforcement disabled.
