Manage updates with the Download App
I have been running Win 8 Cons prev for about 2 mos now. I am having a problem with waking up the computer, or at least the sound part. Things will be working fine, then I go away for a while, 1/2 hour or more and I come back, sign in again, ( a pain) and there is no sound. Everything else works fine but no sound, I did check for an updated Catalyst driver but none available. I use an HDMI connection from my 5770 card to screen with built in speakers, MT276HE, I think it is not the physical setup but something in the Windows wakeup program that is keeping this from resuming. I don't think my i5 750, or OCZ SSD is relevant here. As it is now there is no point to leaving the computer on if I leave it for more than a few minutes. So, I take shorter naps or just turn it off. Any hints in how to fix this? I know next week will be another version of Win 8 and I will likely try that one too. So, this may be moot by then.

For now, it's not supportable.

When the real version comes out you can get support from your computer maker and Microsoft.
This is a preview and not something you should count on working.

Thanks Bob

Bob, Thanks for the note, I am the computer maker, well assembler anyway. I do have a saved image of my Win 7 setup that I can go back to, and even another HDD with the Win 7 system on it that is currently disconnected until I need it when the SSD gives up again. I had to RMA my SSD in November and while it was gone ran the HDD as a replacement. Most of my data is on other than the SSD with OS on it, so there is only a slight cost in inconvenience if the Win 8 does not work out for me. Other than the wakeup problem, I find I use the desktop much the same as in Win 7 and the tiled start menu does not matter to me.
Whether I buy in to Win8 will depend on the price when that is published,
