issues with sound not waking with laptop upon returning from hibernate

TonyB · Jan 1, 2022

hi all my IdeaPad Gaming 3 15IMH05 when coming out of hibernation seems to have the audio muted, and I will have to manually unmute it to have sound I'm not sure why this is happening but is very strange, I was not on windows 10 long enough to see if it had the same issues as the laptop updated to windows 11, soon after getting it. Is strange and if anyone has any ideas how to fix this annoying issue would be great thanks. Also maybe turning hibernation of would help but not sure if it's good to do on laptops as I have always owned desktops.

windows version
21H2 build 22000,376

Make sure Windows Audio and Windows Audio Endpoint Builder services startup type set to automatic.

Install the latest version of sound card driver.

they are automatic i restarted them and it did bring the audio back , now makes me think i may have to wait for Lenovo to release a audio driver for this laptop , which is fairly new but always takes them manufactures sometime to ketch up.

You can download the driver from audio card manufacturer website, they will have the latest version of the driver.

realtek is what this is . not sure if its customized or not for laptop as it has alot dolby stuff added .

FreeBooter · Jan 2, 2022

You will install the driver from realtek website.

TonyB · Jan 2, 2022

yes i know this but would you not lose laptop Lenovo customizations if i did this, also realtek has not had a database to browse in years.

FreeBooter · Jan 2, 2022

No, you will only be updating realtek driver there will be no changes.

TonyB · Jan 2, 2022

okay is there a forum page with the updated realtek drivers on here ??

here are the reports looks like windows was not set to update drivers , it fixed itself other than that i think everything else was ok.

Please report the findings when resuming from hibernation.

TonyB · Jan 3, 2022

That was from coming out of hibernation ?

I had a similar problem with my laptop recently and I was able to restore the sound by the following:
Go to the bottom right corner of the screen and right click on the Audio icon and Left click on "Open Volume Mixer"

Then, when it opens the Settings for "System>Sound>Volume mixer", scroll toward the bottom and left click on Reset.

I hope it works for you!
It worked for me.
Good Luck,
Dav
