If I enable on-board sound in BIOS (which I've needed to do because I need the input jack for a microphone and my soundcard is being used for something else), then my computer is unable to sleep.

I'm running Vista 32 and my motherboard is an IP35-E. I've installed the latest Realtek drivers, mobo BIOS is flashed to latest.

Anyone else have this problem or know of a solution? What happens is that when I set it to sleep it turns off the monitor, some devices shut down, and it goes to a black screen, but my computer doesnt power down (fans still going etc). All I can then do is hard-reboot it.

It's a tad annoying really.
