Odd sound problem

[tmpusr]

Hi there.

I have an odd problem i have never heard of before.

When i start up my new Notebook (which runs Windows Vista Home Premium w/SP1), i have no audio.
None whatsoever, even the Vista sound when you first see the logo after the core system has loaded doesn't make a noise.

Now, it remains like this, no matter how long i mess with the system setting or whatever else. It also doesn't give me any audio when i plug-in earphones.

Now, recently, i accidently hit the button on my notebook that will make it enter the power-save mode. So, after it had shut its parts down, i pressed a key to have it come back from hibernation, and guess what, the sound worked.

I have reconstructed this multiple times now, and it has always worked.
i.e., i'll start the Notebook and start playing some music. Nothing will sound. Then, i hibernate the PC, press a key, and the moment i see the login screen again, i hear sound.

Any idea what this is about?

It's a ASUS N50V notebook.

Thanks a lot in advance.

That's strange. When you start the PC, right-click computer, select properties and Device manager. See if there are any exclamation yellow signs. If there's one, press the power save mode button and when it resumes check the device manager again.

No exclamation marks before or after hibernation.

The sound icon in the tray also doesn't show a red X or anything, doesn't seem to be a driver or hardware problem...

Thanks anyway.

I had an issue with a PC, not the same as yours but similar. In my case, the sound would be very slow, as in slow motion. I went into the BIOS and reset the system to LOAD DEFAULTS values. This fixed the issue. Then I went back to the BIOS and set the options to my preferences.
