Now this is a weird bug.  No matter what, the sound refuses to go through my sound card to my main speakers.  Even when configured to be the default device the sounds will only go to my TV or headphones.  If I disable those devices I still get no sound!  Really obnoxious bug to have in this build lol.

Yeah the sound has been an issue for me for a while now.  I went from selecting 7.1 and disabling the side speakers to get my 5.1, then I was only able to select stereo on a later build, and now I can't hear any audio from my speakers nor can I select my speaker setup.  I have to use the speakers on my TV for the time being.

Did the update from build 10122  to build 10130 and had the 3% problem for 45 minutes, let it run and 3 and a half hours later, I'm up and running. Only had an issue with audio driver upgrade that failed, which was good because my audio is great with my drivers. Glitch on Defender update but I don't use it anyway. But overall, I am "Extremely" happy, this puppy is running great and looks wicked. No problems with any Win32/64 major programs and Visual Studio is OK. Taskbar, Start menu, jump lists, "Spartan", all working for my "AMD".....I am fortunate this time...time to play.... :woot:

Ah-ha, got a temp fix by switching it to 16-bit audio instead of 24-bit audio for the time being. :)

Hey man thanks for the tip. :)  It's still not perfect but at least I have sound out of my speakers again.

I'm getting this error message after clean installing build 10130 when I'm going to restart/shut down my PC:

Is anyone else getting this one? It doesn't seem a big deal, though, I just click OK and the process goes on.

Cheers!

Can't tell about error code number but I've got some as well

Plus, it seems that Windows doesn't maintain migration from build to build very well - system is getting unresponsive again as it was when I was upgrading to 10122 from 10074 which was previously 9926; launching an app freezes Start menu button, taskbar, apps aren't mostly opening at all, something is eating resources all the time.

On build 10122 i was able to set an account 4 digit pin number and log in with that rather than a password, but in 10130 there doesn't seem to be an option to enter a 4 digit pin below the password box on the sign in screen, has anyone else got this issue?

This is by far the worst build for me so far i just can't do anything with regard to my user account.

1. Explorer.exe error when closing down.
2. Can't login with a 4 digit pin.
3. Can't delete my old 4 digit pin.
4. If i try option 3 from the old control panel i get a window popup asking me to re enter my password, and i do and it keeps asking me to re enter the bloody thing over and over again.
5. I wanted to verify my account on this pc and the above happens!

I'm having the same problem (IDT High Definition).  Where do you go to change the bit rate?

 

Edit:  Never mind, found it.  Thanks for the tip, though!  It's working again. :D

Spacing is fine here too. Now just let me set to boot to Start Screen and i'll be happy.

 

I keep getting the same memory error that Snoopz posted. Also when i log on there's  "Other User" account that i can't get rid off. I tried going to settings but there's no such account over there. It's a login bug i think.

 

No major issues yet. But i'll not be installing on my house PC, i'll leave it to the laptop, i barely use it anyway.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time

      By BlueScreenJunky · Posted

      No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.

    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
