    50% of the time after my M17 wake up from sleep, it cannot play games, it requires a restart.

    The sound and graphic just stutter so much that it's not playable. I just update the sound card driver to see any difference. Anyone else experience the same?

    I have this as well running vista 64.

    But, I on vista 32 on my Dell, I never had this problem. So, i'm not sure its a vista issue.

    I was going to update my sound drivers, but, fusion looks like he did that and it did not resolve the issue?

    It's not just sound problem, it's more like PCI power management problem. So it affects many things, just that the sound is noticeable first.
