Have had trouble to get my computer to sleep for a while now. Both manually and automatically.
Have been trying a lot of different solutions that I have stumbled upon online.
Her is a few:
Jason Hartman Consulting: Windows 7 PC won't Sleep automatically - An audio stream is currently in use
Windows 8 intermittant sleep issues and energy.dll will not load - Microsoft Community
Windows 8 PC won't stay asleep when other computers on network - Microsoft Community
Regarding the second link there, I'm told in the report that Razer Surround Audio Controller and Realtek High Definition Audio is preventing sleep mode. Since there is no Power Management tab on these devices I have just disabled everything under "Audio inputs and outputs". But still not able to put computer to sleep manually or automatically.
But there is one wierd thing, even with all the Audio devices disabled, I still have sound working on my computer.. :huh:
So I have a suspicion that the devices may not be completely disabled and is still preventing sleep mode.
If I use powercfg -requests in cmd.exe, I get the following listing:
Just to try the sugestions in the last link I then entered these commands:
But no changes. Still no sleep mode.
Is there anyone that may have any idea of what the problem might be, or have an idea of what I can try?
This problem has been a real pain in the ass, and I would like to get sleep mode back!
All feedback is very much appreciated!
Cheers!
