Chosen Solution
Hey guys, been having this for a long time from my newly bought laptop. There’s a huge battery drain (2-3% per hour) when I put my laptop to sleep (Modern Standby). After running Sleep Study I’ve found out that it’s mainly due to High Definition Audio Device. I’ve tried : Updating my Realtek DriversUninstalling Realtek and using generic driversLooked up all over forums, but the problem others have is about “Audio stream is currently in use” - which isn’t what I have encountered. Here is my sleepstudy report attached, Any help please?
Update (06/09/2018) Hi guys ! So I disabled my Realtek drivers. Interestingly the fault still shows up as Audio device, but my device drain has been 0% for the past 9 hours! Not sure if this is normal, I’ll do another round of tests. In the meantime- any ideas on what is going on here? Cheers guys!
hi guys, just a quick update- i’ve given up on this. speakers are the problem and it doesn’t seem like a driver issue, could be one on some other software bug. I’ve given up on this and have resorted to shutting down the computer :"(
Have the same problem on my new ASUS Zenbook. Reached out to support 3 times, spoke with 4 different techs, as well as myself who is in IT and one of my buddies. This happens when headphones are plugged in. ASUS solution is to restore to factory default, but, it has been doing it since I bought it. Now it is ship it to them, but, I am sure this is more of a common problem than they think. Disabling the Audio Drivers ultimately turns of the sound all together which does not seem to be an viable option. Simple thing unplug the headphones or have the battery drain 10% every 2 hour, as opposed to 1%.
