  2. Sound Problem on ASUS Transformer Book T100TA

    The suggestion above was what I tried first, but no luck. Somehow microsoft forgot to incorporate some of the drivers in there. Hopefully Asus will update the drivers for windows 10. But the old drivers for windows 8.1 seem to work perfectly for windows
    10 in clean install.

    I did wipe out the drive in the Asus T100TA. and deleted the extra recovery partition to get back 8 Gb of storage.

    Then installed windows 10 from scratch and used the SOC setup file install from Asus website.

    Then all the drivers were installed perfectly. no more issues with anything.

    Clean install seems to be the way to go, to get rid of any of the extra trash and also eliminating any problems that could exist with loose drivers and such.

    Thanks for the Suggestions

    How did you resolve the issue.

    I upgraded to windows 10 and I have no audio at all, and there is a device that doesn't have a driver in devices.

    Sleep problem ( Computer)

  5. It always causes me to chuckle a little when anyone complains about "Sleep" not working properly.

    This has to be at least the 10,000th thread on the topic. Of course no-one ever does a search to find an answer, they just jump on a forum and cry for help.

    "Sleep" has been buggy, that is, 'Un-Reliable', since MS first introduced it many years ago.
    The worse case I've seen is, "Help! My computer went to 'Sleep' and now it won't wake up!".

    In the first ten minutes of setting up a new PC, or a new install of an OS, I disable both Sleep and Hibernate.
    Life is so much simpler and safer without either one. My PC's all have just two states....ON and OFF, anything else is problematical.
    I set up my customer's PC's in a similar manner.

    So my fix for a PC with sleep problems is to just stop using "Sleep" as an option.

    I have a Doctor who shares your method of problem solving. If I tell him "It only hurts when I breathe" he will say "Then stop breathing". *Nerd

  7. That sounds a little extreme, but hey...... it WOULD work! lol

    A better analogy, would be.... " I tell my Dr that when I hit my thumb with a hammer it hurts like the devil" and he tells me "Then don't hit your thumb with a hammer!".

    If something like "Sleep" if a problem for you, (obviously it's NOT for everyone, like cbwilsha), then just stop using it.
    It IS a problem for thousands of users world wide. I don't want to wind up being one of those who gets bothered by it, so I just refuse to use it. My PC's, all twenty of them, have two states....ON and OFF. Life is so much better that way.

    Cheers!
    *Cool
    Notice that people who come on with smartalek remarks, don't offer you any help.

    Sleep problem ( Computer)

    So I actually have the opposite problem and I can't seem to get any help or find any solution that's actually relevant.

    I have two computers - a laptop and a desktop. Desktop is primary. Laptop has the latest W10 with Anniversary Update, desktop does not.

    This all started, honestly, it did kinda start when I installed Windows 10 on my desktop. *Huh At the time, I was using Sleep and I had the same problem the OP has. Now, the person above suggests not using sleep, which would be fine except for one thing - I work from home. Using sleep means I can literally start right back from where I left off the next morning. So I actually DO need my desktop to sleep. After trying all the methods for pc waking up (turning off usb mouse/keyboard, turning off wake timers), I finally found the answer - apparently the Intel Service Engine something that comes with Intel CPUs wrecks havoc with sleep on Windows 10.

    Solution - roll back from current version 11 to version 9. And that solved my issue, on both computers.

    New problem - I recently replaced my video card in my desktop. I didn't change any settings, just replaced and set up new video card. At this point, I had stopped using Sleep and was using Hibernate instead (after all, I'm using a desktop primarily not a laptop). I installed my card on a Friday and everything was fine for at least a week. THEN on a weekday, I put my PC into hibernate, went to bed, got up in the morning, woke it up and...it froze.

    And complete freeze - mouse and keyboard did nothing and even reset didn't do anything. I had to hold down power and then restart. Now, I can at least reset, but for every day I have to do this, at least once I have a hard freeze and I have to power down and back up.

    As mentioned, this is REALLY annoying. I don't want to leave my PC on all night (that's another problem - it doesn't automatically go to sleep when I'm away anymore either), so I want it to go to sleep/hibernate and be ready for me the next day. Again, because I work from home, I'm usually on my desktop and I want to be able to start work as soon as the pc is up. Yes, I have a laptop, but it's an 11-inch 2 in 1 and while great, there's something to be said about having a 24 inch screen (hopefully soon to be two 24 inch screens). It's perfect when I'm writing up something, but not as great when I need two things side by side; this is especially true if I'm on battery power and Chrome is a notorious battery killer.

    So I'm asking, pleading, begging does anyone have a solution that actually works? It's so annoying having to close down everything every night because my pc can't get it together and worse having it freeze and then needing to start all over again. It's time consuming. And please...no comments about downgrading back to 7 or XP or switching to Linux; it can't be too much to ask that my brand new OS actually works the way it should, is it?*Shock*Eek*Sick*Mad
