Hi I thought that my sound issue had gone away. But I stopped computing for a while and had lunch. When I came back, my computer had gone to sleep and when I woke it up, no sound. I started thinking about it and it may be that this is what has been happening in the past. I often go away from...

I have recently (about 4 weeks ago) purchased an Asus R510J, a laptop with pre-installed Windows 8.1. It was running rather smoothly apart from some painful differences I notice coming from Windows 7. The one issue I started to notice however, was that when waking it up in the morning it would...
