    Looks like you aren't the only one having trouble like this, as others have had similar issues. I just did a Google search on it.

    The problem is, the audio device is not changing the audio port source automatically as it should. There should be a cirrus logic audio control panel within control panel in Windows. If you can find it, go in there and find your audio port settings to make sure that it's set to change ports...

    Stuck at POST screen and other odd symptoms

    What kind of video card does this system have? Is it a discreet video card or is it an onboard card? My suggestion first would be if you have a discreet graphics card, such as in a pci express slot, either remove the card, and swap it out with another video card "if you have one" or if there is...

    Solved Windows found driver ... but encountered an error

    It's a possibility it could be a bad unit. Do you have another computer or have a friend that has a pc to test. Always troubleshoot before throwing something away. If it is a hardware failure then they would have to authorize a RMA

    Laptop thinks it's touch screen after update

    I'm almost wondering if there is a bug in Windows 8.1, because I see that both of you are having similar issues. If it is causing problems, I would revert back to windows 8 with your system recovery. Are any of your computers under warranty? "Asking both people having problems in this...

    Solved Windows found driver ... but encountered an error

    I don't think so. Is the driver installation using a setup program? If so, just use that to install. Shouldn't have to rename it as Windows should see it as an updated driver, unless you want to rename it so you know it's a win 8 driver. I also see you are using IO bit. I've never been a fan of...

    Graphics Card settings lost on system boot.

    I have a GT 630, and just tried to duplicate the issue you are having, and I am not having that issue. The NVIDIA software retains its settings. Does it do it on a system restart, Like a warm boot? If it does it only during shutdown. You may want to turn off Fast Startup, if fast startup is...
