HP ENVY x360 Audio Issues

Would this result in me losing all of my files, though?

Is there any way for me to back up all of my documents and stuff because I have important notes for my university lectures.

While doing the Reset, you will have an option to backup your files 

But if you have very crucial data, then I suggest you back them up on an external USB Flash drive or Hard drive before starting the Reset 😊

New temporary solution that works with Realtek drivers.

Find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e96c-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\xxxx\PowerSettings

where 'xxxx' is one of keys which contains

DriverDesc value 'Realtek High Definition Audio'.

Note: There may be multiple ones containing PowerSettings,

for example 'Nvidia High Definition Audio'.

You'll find there three binary values and set them:

• ConservationIdleTime = ff ff ff ff;
• IdlePowerState = 00 00 00 00;
• PerformanceIdleTime = ff ff ff ff.

Default values are all 00 00 00 00 which disables power settings,

but driver somehow overrides it with 0a 00 00 00

which is 10 seconds (0x0a = 10) and is by default in driver.

Problem shouldn't occur again after restart (or I haven't noticed).

This is not solution to problem,

it only prevents audio hardware going idle,

but I don't see any impact on energy consumption.

Give kudos if I helped. 🙂
