Bug has been reported to Microsoft , just for grins try this , turn your machine on , after a bit put it to sleep ,not off , sleep . Wait a few minutes - 10 or so , then wake it up and see if you have sound . Seems that sleep , or hibernate helps some folks .

Sound driver support is the only problem right now in Windows 8.

Luckily, Creative released official drivers for the X-Fi Titanium HD that work correctly. All the other cards from Creative seem to be in beta support.

The bug report I ran across was was started back in June on the RP , so maybe it will sloooowly get better . :cry:

I have the xfi extreme gamer and the only way I can get sound to work is to put it in entertainment mode. Every time I boot, I have to put it back to that mode and set my speakers to 5.1. I hope they fix this, I really don't want to use on board sound :-(

Mine had a similar issue with the beta drivers. It would lose all sound at reboot. I'd have to install it again after every reboot to get sound.

They released official drivers on the 25th and it's working correctly now. Won't be long for the other cards.

Have you by any chance updated the bios since you acquired your laptop ? I see where there was one released ,2011-01-10 , Version:F.65 . May be worth a try .

Yea did that as well. Just seems odd that Microsoft has this kind of problem for a common on board audio. I am going to leave it on my laptop for now but if its not fixed soon I guess I will have to go back to 7. The thing that really gets me is the "Upgrade Assistant" said all of my hardware was compatible, only thing that was not compatible was MS Essentials...

MS Essentials is built into Defender on 8 . 8 is after all a new OS ,so it takes awhile for all the different driver suppliers catch up . A lot of the devices still have to use Vista drivers in 7. :s

Have you tried hooking your laptop up to a tv using HDMI to see if sound works that way or not? Also external speakers using headphone jack?

Not that those would actually solve the problem, but if they worked, could be a temp fix.

My laptop does not have HDMI and I have tried external speakers and headphones with no luck.

      I'm too old to return to the "good old days" when I was installing custom ROMs and tinkering with my devices - now I just want to turn it on and use it. I've read that banking and payment apps work on Murena /e/OS (I'll have to check the ones I use) and I also really want to support Fairphone 😉

    • NVIDIA announces 35 new AI HPC supercomputers across Europe

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      NVIDIA announces 35 new AI HPC supercomputers across Europe by Fiza Ali NVIDIA has announced that 35 AI high-performance computing (HPC) supercomputers are planned to open throughout Europe this year. This marks what the company describes as the largest single-year expansion of AI infrastructure in the history of the continent. These new systems, unveiled at ISC High Performance 2026, will be placed at a number of national supercomputing centres, AI factories, and research institutes to provide advanced computing resources to more than three million researchers. Describing AI, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang stated, "AI is the new instrument of science, and Europe is building the infrastructure to put it in the hands of millions of researchers." Built on NVIDIA's Blackwell and Hopper architectures, the new systems will support research in climate science, healthcare, clean energy, quantum computing, and other scientific fields. Among the major projects are the Barcelona Supercomputing Center's MareNostrum 5 AI upgrade, BavariaAI's Blue Swan platform in Germany, Italy's IT4LIA AI factory, Germany's HammerHAI project, and Sweden's Mimer AI Factory. The Barcelona Supercomputing Center plans to expand MareNostrum 5 with NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 and GB200 NVL4 systems. In total, the BSC expects to deliver up to 20 exaflops of AI training performance and 33 exaflops of AI inference performance. This increased computational capability will support research efforts related to climate modelling, biotechnology, energy systems, etc. Furthermore, as part of the IT4LIA project, more than 8,000 GPUs, each based on NVIDIA’s GB200 NVL4 architecture, will be used in Italy. This represents one of the largest AI factory initiatives announced to date. Additionally, the Blue Swan platform from BavariaAI will include about 1,000 GPUs to help develop multimodal AI models for use in the medical field, robotics, and various areas of scientific research. NVIDIA also emphasized in the announcement how rapidly growth of accelerated computing usage is taking place within both energy and climate-related research. The company said Siemens Energy uses NVIDIA-powered technologies to significantly accelerate the process of designing and simulating hydrogen-capable gas turbines. Using those same acceleration technologies, Siemens was able to reduce simulation time by up to 77 percent. The company also highlighted several quantum computing initiatives across Europe. CINECA, EuroHPC, and Pasqal are integrating a quantum processing unit into Italy's CINECA supercomputing centre using NVIDIA's CUDA-Q platform. Meanwhile, researchers at Germany's Julich Supercomputing Centre recently simulated a universal 50-qubit quantum computer on the JUPITER supercomputer. The announcement demonstrates Europe's continued commitment to building out its infrastructure supporting AI and supercomputing as governments, research organizations, and technology companies compete to build out their respective computing capacities and secure their positions in advanced scientific research.
