The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved.

If I click standby, then I use power to wake up. I get sound right back. So I went back to check my power setting. I have 5min to turn off HD, 1h to standby, I am thinking if the HD was off before the standby causing the problem. well, I need to try more to make sure what's really going on.
Set "turn off HDD" to never. Having the HDD starting and stopping all the time is like turning on a lightbulb on and off, it's going to increase the rate of wear and tear.
hm, I tested with close the lid, I got no sound after wake up. if I use fn-f4 to standby, I got sound back. it has something to do with automatic standby and lid standby. so weird.

[/b]To all who purchased A70 or A75 and suffering from this annoying sound problem[/b]
Just go to device maneger find modem double click on software modem doubleclick again. click power management tab , uncheck "allow this device to bring the computerout of stanby"
This will solve your problem. If you are not using the modem at all then just disable it to avoid further hardware conflict. But just unchecking as i mentioned above will also work.
cheers.
I get this too from time to time. I once had it where I had only one speaker working (very strange!). Sometimes you can fix it without rebooting by disabling and then re-enabling the audio device in device manager.
Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
