sound problems after computer sleep

Anonymous

so i have my pc connected to tv using HDMI cable, so sound goes through this cable and uses nVIDIA audio driver (as the hdmi calbe is connected to my nvidia gpu). when the computer wakes up from sleep, it automatically changes to realtek driver (although there are no speakers that are connected), and also the nvidia driver disappears from the drivers options. the solution to fix it is either restart or if i start the "troubleshoot sound problems", then suddenly the nvidia driver comes back and i can choose it and sound goes back. (there was a time i could also just click "device properties" on the realtek driver and suddenly the nvidia driver would come back, but that doesn't seem to work lately).

is there anyway where i won't need to do this and the nvidia driver would automatically work after wakeup from sleep? thanks.

    Yeah I've had this issue for the past couple of months as well. When just my monitor goes to sleep, not the computer itself the NVIDIA High Definition Audio completely disappears. Drivers are up to date and there aren't any Windows updates either. Super annoying to say the least. I've found the quickest way to get it back is to run mmsys.cpl which brings up the old Sound settings(which is far better than the new sound settings in Windows 10) and the NVIDIA High Definition Audio will come right back up on the list.

    I also having the same issue with my new laptop HP Zbook 15V G5 15.6" FHD Touchscreen Mobile Workstation Laptop .

    I have to unplug and replug to get the sound after wake up from sleep or I have to restart the whole laptop.

    Solution: I went to NVIDA website and manually download the latest driver Nvidia Quadro P600

    ( i didn't rely on "search automatically" for best driver, the replied always say best driver already installed!). I manually install the latest graphic driver and now it works! Thanks

    I run the troubleshooter. Right click on the volume in the notification area and select bottom item. I let it run through a few steps and it resurrects the connection.
