Intel Display Audio driver disappears after reboot

[mglg]

as title says, each time my newly built pc boot up the intel display audio driver will disappear, so the system can't find any audio output device(my monitor's speaker). I need to uninstall and reinstall the intel graphic driver for the sound to work again. but once the pc boot up again, the same driver will disappear...

The onboard audio works fine from the headphone jack. The issue is solely on the intel display audio driver.

i am using i7-11700k, B560I Aorus pro ax mobo.

Any insight is appreaciated, thanks!

Hi mglg, Thank you very much for providing that information and the SSU report.

According to the SSU report, the graphics driver currently installed on your computer is version 30.0.100.9955, which is the driver provided by Intel®:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/19344/intel-graphics-windows-dch-drivers.html

Just to let you know, the Intel® drivers are generic, meaning they might or might not work with your specific platform. So, we always recommend to install the graphics driver provided by the manufacturer of the computer, since that driver was customized by them to work with your specific platform.

I looked in Gigabyte's website and the latest graphics driver they have available in there is version 27.20.100.9805, please try a clean installation of that driver following the instructions in the links below and then test the system to confirm if after installing this driver version the monitor's speakers work properly:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000057389/graphics.html

We also advise to get in contact directly with Gigabyte support to confirm that the latest BIOS version is currently installed in your machine or to gather the instructions on how to do that:

Additionally, we recommend to contact the manufacturer of the monitor as well to verify if there might be a driver that needs to be installed or a possible firmware update available for the monitor:

Hi Albert,

I did the same as you suggested by clean uninstall the current driver and re install the gigabyte one. But it doesn't fix the problem.

In device manager/display adapters, i see the following in the event log:

Device PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_4C8A&SUBSYS_D0001458&REV_04\3&11583659&0&10 had a problem starting.

Driver Name: oem13.inf
Class Guid: {4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}
Service: igfxn
Lower Filters:
Upper Filters:
Problem: 0x0
Problem Status: 0xC00000E5

Do you have any idea what's the problem?

thanks

Hi mglg, Thank you very much for letting us know those results.

We are sorry to hear the issue persisted after installing the driver provided by Gigabyte.

We will do further research on this matter, as soon as I get any updates I will post all the details on this thread.

Hello mglg, I just received an update on this matter.

While we are still doing research on this case, we just wanted to confirm if by any chance you have the option, for testing purposes, to use a different display?

Hi Alberto,

Thanks for responding back. Yes, I tried my TV and it's the same issue. And the same acer monitor has no problem with my another PC. BTW, my new 3080 GPU has arrived yesterday and i don't get the same issue with the GPU. So the problem is most likely on the intel driver side.

Thanks

[Alberto_R_Intel]

Hi mglg, You are very welcome, thank you very much for confirming those details.

We will continue with our research on this matter, as soon as I get more updates I will post all the information on this thread.

Hello mglg, I just received an update on this matter.

Just to let you know, we will try to replicate the issue in our Intel® lab, as soon as I get the results I will post them on this thread.

In the meantime, could you please try a clean installation and test an older graphics driver provided by Gigabyte, 27.20.100.9316:

Hi Alberto,

It's good to know Intel is still working on it. I did try a clean installation of that specific driver before my GPU came in and it didn't work either.

I have been using my GPU for graphics since it arrived and it is working flawlessly, so it is not an urgent issue for me now, but it might help people that encounter the same problem

thanks

Hi mglg, Thank you very much for letting us know those results.

As soon as I get the results from the lab, I will post them on this thread.

Hello mglg, I just received an update on this matter.

At this point, after reviewing the case, we suggest to install our latest Intel® generic driver once again, it could be that generic driver getting overwritten after PC reboot through Windows* update.

Our advice here will be to reinstall the generic driver and see its behavior and version after restarting the PC to make sure the driver was properly installed 30.0.101.1069. Please check "Device Manager", look for "Display Adapters" select it, then right-click on the "Intel® UHD Graphics 750", select "Properties" and then the "Driver" tab to verify the driver version currently installed:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/19344/intel-graphics-windows-dch-drivers.html?

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005629/graphics.html

If the problem persists, then for testing purposes, test an older graphics driver, which could be version 27.20.100.9316 provided by Gigabyte:

Hi Alberto,

Thanks for responding. Just got a chance to check the new driver, but I am having problem installing it. In my device manager, there is no intel driver listed in display adapter section.... Not sure if it is because the Nvidia driver

You can check the screenshot for the error I got when installing the intel driver.

Thanks

[Alberto_R_Intel]

Hello mglg, You are very welcome, thank you very much for providing those updates and the pictures.

'In my device manager, there is no intel driver listed in display adapter section" Yes, the Intel® graphics controller is not being detected at all and that is why the driver is not getting installed.

"Not sure if it is because the Nvidia driver", Correct, that could also be the reason why it is not detecting the Intel® graphics controller.  

Please check directly with Gigabyte support about the BIOS configuration and if the settings selected in there are the proper ones for a dual graphics configuration in your motherboard:
