Hi,

My audio is not working after upgrading to 22H2. My computer is an ASUS less than one year old. I have tried to reinstall the Realtek driver without solving the problem.

Looking in the devicemanager the Realtek driver has this error after each time I have reinstalled the driver:

Device INTELAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0294&SUBSYS_104313B2&REV_1000\5&205ca6cb&0&0001 had a problem starting.

Driver Name: oem88.inf

Class Guid: {4d36e96c-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}

Service: IntcAzAudAddService

Lower Filters: 

Upper Filters: 

Problem: 0x0

Problem Status: 0xC00000E5

Is there any ideas of what I can try to get this working again?

    Almost 100% related to drivers: https://www.dell.com/community/Alienware/x17-R1-audio-stops-working-when-switching-applications-randomly/m-p/8321698#M56735 I currently have 6.0.9394.1 installed with no way to roll back using the instructions on page 2 of the linked post, some incompatibility with the latest W11 update 22H2 is preventing it.

    My problem is that with an external speaker plugged in, a period of 1 min of inactivity on the audio output will cause the 3.5mm jack output line to go completely dead. No sound comes out of it after that. Only way to "revive" it is to enable/disable mono audio in Settings—>Audio, or to switch to a different output device, then back to it. The issue then recurs after a period of use and then inactivity.

    Currently have no way to roll back my drivers to an older version with any of the provided Realtek installers. They only remove the old version, then upon restart, the latest audio driver is downloaded and installed automatically (9394).

    dear Mark,

    after having read all the previous solutions I can ad a complete different one. having two computers with Realtek and W.10, I regular had problems with sound. mostly it effected in combination with a conflict of my virusscanner and the computer locked.

    after the restart all functioned well. also after often used the sleepfuntion the audio gave disturbances. and it all was in W.10. for many years. it gave me the impression that this audio is in itself malfunctioning.

    at the end I uninstalled the virusscanner and hoped with W.11 that all should become "perfect". what a disaster it became with no sound!

    now I wrote Acer to come with a solution and am waiting for their answer. what will they say/do? they are the manufacturer of the laptop and a part of their product is not working...

    dear Sir, I already checked your hint and I'm very glad with the website. I couldn't find version 9219 and downloadednow version 9239.
    thank you very much, you are very helpfull.kind regards,Jacques

    Thanks, recent posters. The audio issue is long since resolved, but the sudden shutdown issue is persisting, with no apparent rhyme or reason to when it happens or doesn't. Often it happens several times in a 2-3 hour (planned) session while I'm browsing FB or other media. When I restart, my internet (wi-fi) connections don't load, so I have to restart a second time. Updating drivers (for which I use Driver Booster) has helped some maybe, but not completely. I still prop up the rear for ventilation, but that seems to make little or no difference.
