Solved Sound dies after playing video file

Hi, I've been having an annoying issue I can't seem resolve ever since 8.1 came out. I've tried reinstalling drivers but that didn't help and I'm really not sure where to go from there. I've never had this issue on any other machine and to be frank, it really pisses me off that the drivers are so glitchy. Anyways, the laptop is a ASUS K55A and originally came with windows 8. I've tried updating the drivers once the 8.1 version came out but the problem keeps recurring.

See what'll happen is, I can be watching a tv show or movie and once it's over or even if I pause it for say 10 minutes, the sound will completely cut out. I won't know this until I resume or play another video. It happens every single time, I don't get it. My only remedy right now is to open the task manager and restart the audiosrv service for the sound to work again. The funny thing is, the video will play to the end and when it stops, then the sound dies so it's not every x minutes.

On top of this, the video can be playing just fine but if I want to play a random flash video and pause my show for a bit, the flash video will play for 2 seconds then stop. no sound, no playback after 2 seconds. so my question is, outside of drivers, what else can I do? Is there some sort of patch or fix I may need or maybe a driver from someone else? I don't know, help me out man.

Welp, I played with some drivers I had downloaded and they did nothing but bluescreen my laptop. somehow I ended up using the high definition audio device drivers after removing any trace of realtek drivers and a few reboots. so far it works, we'll see for how long. btw, the drivers from the asus website just wound up bluescreening.

Same problem Here

I have the same issue but no luck resolving it! I have a asus dgx sound card and only restarting corrects problem not sure what to do here

Have you tried stopping windows audio in services and restarting?

I still have them problem and it seems no one has a fix but oh well, I got they way I don't bother hooking up my laptop to the tv though the problem seems to happen when I least expect it. idk on a side note, possibly related, all my media players on my desktop like to crash if I try to open a file when vlc is open and mpc likes to crash randomly.
