Windows 11 BSoD: Bug Check 0x9F

If you’re willing to live without audio until a fix is released, you might try disabling the Smart Sound Audio Controller. Note, though, that this is contingent upon my diagnosis being correct. :slightly_smiling_face:

At least on my machine, this unloads the driver that seems to be causing the failed power state transition:

# sc query intcaudiobus

SERVICE_NAME: intcaudiobus
        TYPE               : 1  KERNEL_DRIVER
        STATE              : 1  STOPPED                     <-------
        WIN32_EXIT_CODE    : 31  (0x1f)
        SERVICE_EXIT_CODE  : 0  (0x0)
        CHECKPOINT         : 0x0
        WAIT_HINT          : 0x0

However, it might require a reboot to release any other resources it was holding.
