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. ![]()
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.
