Sorry missed this... will chase it up now.

I have been provided with the same file and have been told this could fix the low / no sound after sleep issue. I can provide a link or you can use the same one from that forum.

Please can you give me the link because I'm not keen downloading a file uploaded by some random forum member and thanks again.

Also, in the BIOS, PBO is AUTO by default but do you know what the difference is between that and ENABLED ? That seems to raise the temps by 10c but only adds around 100mhz to the cpu speed.

Only just stumbled across this thread... My rig has sound issues on wake too, probably 50% of the time I'll get silence, but a reboot always clears it.
It might be something Windowsy- my mobo is an Asus.

Hello all,

Here is a link to the file in question, it's a firmware update that should resolve the issues.

I will only leave this file live for a few months, if you have any issues let me know.

The issue with the sound my motherboard has isn't solely related to sleep because I had sleep disabled for a long time and still had the sound issue.

Thanks. I've flashed that firmware and will let you know the outcome. My PC performed a restart after running that utility with no indication anything had been changed but I assume that's normal ?

It's a firmware update that should be normal, yes. Let me know if you have any further issues.

@GIGA-Man

Are you able to get an answer on this -

It's the AMD pression boost setting Auto means it will toggle on off when in idle or stressed, Enable will mean it is on all the time and will draw more power.

subroutine · 27 Mar 2019 at 11:47

Auto seems better given the temps are much lower for very little loss in all core speed. Real world gaming, the single core boost is higher on auto from my testing. Thanks again.

Just a follow up. It's been a month since I flashed this firmware and I haven't had any further issues with the sound so hopefully it's now fixed. Thanks Again.

Thanks for letting me know, i'm very happy to hear that.
