So it's been nearly six months that I've been on the forum... To save me some time (I did search, but didn't find anything conclusive), I was wondering if someone could help me answer regarding the EP45-U3DP (v 1.1):
1. Are the S3 sleep issues resolved with any bios update after version 8? Note that I am running a stock setup, so I'm not sure why I have the issue?
(Long story short: The issue is resuming from S3 sleep. After "resuming", most Windows functions would stall out for upwards of 3-5 minutes, such as launching programs or using Explorer, i.e. drives will not display)
2. Proper detection of rear speakers. Often times when I plug in rear speakers, no sound will play out of them. However, after fudging around and plugging them into the "side speakers" jack, it works okay. Is this resolved with any driver or bios update?
On a side note: One thing I've noticed is that the audio output is very low. Is the SNR that low?
See sig for my setup. Thanks!
Edit: Here's my BIOS settings:
Notes: When I disable XMP, it causes the Standard Timing Control to go to 5-5-5-15, thus I changed it back to Auto.
