After the system goes to sleep once I awake it it hangs at the Windows screen (where time is shown left corner). After a bit I'm greeted with BSOD stating...


DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATION

This is a clean install of Windows 10 Pro 1909 18363.535. When I hit the power button (after the diagnostic runs to 100%) it shuts off then I'm able to restart the desktop without issue. All my drivers are current and SFC report no issue/s.

Looks like the problem with your audio device (sound blaster) I would confirm the drivers are up-to-date.
 


Solution
No new audio device just the same one I've been using for the past several years. The driver used is the one Win 10 installed the driver number and date are:

4/17/2019
6.0.230.12


Looking at the Creative site the Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme Gamer has reached end of support and the latest driver for Win 10 is...

SBXF_PCDRV_L11_2_30_0012.exe

Creative Worldwide Support
 


I've installed the above driver but it appears to be the same version number that was shown before in device manager.
