Your computer can also be woken up remotely using another feature of Intel® Smart Connect Technology, which is known as “Remote Wake.” This feature can be enabled through the main user interface. If you put your computer to sleep when it was not connected to the Internet, it will wake up the next time, only when it detects a known network that you have accessed earlier and to which you have previously connected to automatically.
Your computer does not update until it recognizes a known Wi-Fi network. If your computer is equipped with an Intel Wi-Fi card and Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility, Intel Smart Connect Technology searches for Wi-Fi networks you have previously accessed. Thus there are no updates during extended hours. The system will now wake up only at dawn (end of extended hours). During these extended night hours, Intel® Smart Connect Technology will not wake your system up from sleep. Even though you select a 15-minute update frequency, your computer can sleep longer between updates to save battery (if present), or keep the system cool.īy clicking the “Customize Schedule” button on the main user interface, you can set a time schedule for Intel Smart Connect Technology to keep the system in the sleep state in Extended Power Savings mode. Intel® Smart Connect Technology automatically adjusts the update frequency if your computer battery level is dropping, or if the system temperature rises. The longer the interval, the less the battery consumption. You have an option to select between three time intervals: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes. The amount of time the feature waits to wake your computer can be set using the “Change Settings” option on the main user interface. With Intel Smart Connect Technology, you do not have to wait for your applications to update when you wake up your computer. Intel® Smart Connect Technology automatically updates applications, such as e-mail and social networks, when your computer is asleep. This function works with applications that automatically get their data from the Internet, such as Outlook* and Windows* Live Mail. There seems to be something very wrong with that Smart Sound OED driver.Intel® Smart Connect Technology is designed to update programs by periodically waking your computer from sleep/standby mode for a short time. Restart your computer and see if it works.Īfter doing this I was able to disconnect the base USB cable (audio goes back to speakers) and reconnect it (audio goes back to the A50) and no longer have the YouTube issue. If you have it right click on it and click on disable. Open device manager and look for "Intel Smart Sound Technology OED" under system devices. Disconnecting the Astro base from the USB corrected this problem instantly. I'd instantly get the loading/buggering circle animation while trying to watch any video. It'll work randomly and when it worked if I disconnected the USB cable and reconnected it wouldn't work anymore until a restart.Īnother weird issue I had was that if I selected the A50 game audio as output device there wouldn't be any audio and YouTube videos would stop playing.
I spent a lot of time troubleshooting this with my A50. Have you tried with another headset (wire, no USB, or wireless)? Are you using a NUC, desktop computer, or laptop? Can you provide the model?ĥ. Is this issue recent? If so, when did it start?Ĥ. To save your scan, click Next and click Save.Ģ.Click the menu where it says "Summary" to change to "Detailed View".
The Intel® SSU defaults to the "Summary View" on the output screen following the scan. Open the application, check the "Everything" checkbox, and click "Scan" to see the system and device information.
