I am running windows vista. When my laptop goes into hibernate and then
comes back out my sound stops working until I disable it an re-enable it.

Also, I run dual monitors and it switches the side of the one monitor and
messes up all my icons. Any suggestions?

Possibly driver related. Is everything up to date, it is a good first place
to start. Hibernate seems to be somewhat ropey atm, it does not work at all
for me, in the fact when I put my machine into hibernate it will not wake
up.

It may be a known problem. I never really looked into it as Sleep is what I
generally use.
 
Is your sound device a high definition audio one? If so, in Control Panel >
Windows Update, click on View Update History. Do you have KB937077
installed? If it is available as an update, when you click on Check for
Updates, install it.
 
I have that update installed successfully, but the problem still happens.
When I do resume from Hibernate and click mute and unmute I can hear a
popping sound emanating from the speakers. That is the only response I get
from them unless I reboot the system. I did not think about disabling and
enabling the driver, before I read this.

Any further suggestions?

Thanks.
 
That is the generic Windows Vista HD audio driver and the source of your
problem. You must find out the actual manufacturer of your audio adapter and
download and install the latest Vista audio drivers.

Is it Realtek, Sigma Tel, etc.?

In Control Panel (Classic view) > Device Manager > expand Sound, video and game
controllers, right click on the HD audio entry and select Properties. On the
Details tab > Property drop down list > Manufacturer, is the manufacturer
listed?

Or go to your computer or motherboard manufacturer and see if you can determine
what the exact manufacturer of the audio adapter is. Also, consult any
documentation you have received.

If it is the Realtek High Definition Audio adapter, go here:

NOTE: You may have to run the driver install twice. Once to uninstall the
older driver. REBOOT. Again to install the updated drivers. REBOOT
 
my notebook is a custominzed HP pavilion dv5000. the sound card is Conexant
AC-Link Audio Driver
 
I know but I keep getting an error when I run it.

I fixed it finally. I had to disable and reinstall a driver for XP in order
for it to work.

Thanks for your help.
 
the error was "Driver Installation Failed: Could not find the MEDIA device
for this driver."
I don't understand why MEDIA was capitalized or what I got this error in the
first place.

Ya, the XP driver actually made it work. Actually, before I meddled around
with this, whenever I pressed the mute button (or clicked mute on the volume
meter) the mute LED of my notebook would NOT turn on (as it used to do with
XP). When I did all this, it actually began lighting when I muted. Weird.

Thanks.
