ezbook 3 pro freezes with annoying sound, on AC

[Chupa]

I tried the apo and others too bot my sound cut out sometimes after sleep or hibernation. I also had it that after using the headphones the speakers would not work and it needed a fresh reboot.

So I kicked all the shit of the Jumper an use vlc as a mediaplayer and youtube player. It is a little add on you have to install and a little helper program.

VLC comes with an internal 200% booster what gets activated when you are at 100% and go for more volume. Works like a charm. No more trouble and computer stays cooler than when using Firefox to watch youtube.

I dont think this problem is related to eq settings. I’ve had the same issue with freezing while charging for weeks now and after yesterdays freeze, my ezbook is completely dead and wont power on any any more. I would suggest you to only charge it when it’s powered off from now on, to spare it from that fate.

Okay here is a question. Can you remember which version of windows you had? I am suspecting now with windows 10 1809 build. Because as i can remember, i was using 1803 before my ssd and after ssd, i formatted to 1809. I was so blind and thinking about ssd is the problem but it just might be the 1809 build. As we all know it has lot of problems.

here is the thing, it happens with the vlc too. I uninstalled the sound apps but nothing has changed. And it wasnt happening before so it is so frustrating. I am worried about windows 1809. I will try format back to 1803 and see if it will be okay.

it’s hardware issue. try to take out ssd and use windows on emmc if you have same problem again.

ezbook is really bad construction for example on mine when you plug power cord touchpad is getting crazy when notebook is on flat surface. when you rise it a bit it works OK. no problem on battery. also mine sometimes hang with black screen and you need to power it off. sometimes after it hangs it does not see ssd and boots to my windows on emmc, but usually after reboot it see ssd again. twice after hang it didn’t saw touchpad at all. device was there, driver was there, but windows didn’t even show arrow. only solution was to open case and replug battery for touchpad to start working again. for me there is some issue with power charging, some interferences. maybe with ssd it happeds often. like i said if you kept windows on emms i would start with taking ssd out and checking if problem is still there.

yeah that was my second option. If it is related to ssd port, well it is a big shame then. And i would seriously consider selling this machine because it is so frustrating. I am hoping it is related to windows but it is a low chance.

okay, little update. I removed the ssd and the problem still exists, so it is not ssd related. Chris if you are available i sure need your assistance. I will now try to revert back to windows 10 1803 build. If that does not work too, only god knows what is the issue because the OS is the only different thing before i bought ssd.

give it a try, you should be able to roll back from recovery settings

I did even better. I spare my time on it and installed fresh windows 10 1803. And my god. It worth my time. I am doing all sorts of things now with my pc and my high volume settings. No freezes, no shutdowns no nothing! It actually solved it. If anyone encounters with the same problem, here is the solution. From now on, i am done installing updates on day 1.

yes it actually did. without volume boost. And i also encountered it while i was preparing windows 10 bootable usb, i wasnt even using any sound. And i installed 1809 twice just to make sure there is something wrong with the setup. Thank god 1803 solved all my problems.

1809 upgrade on my desktop PC was nothing short of a nightmare… I had to do a rollback and that was also messed up.

Last couple of weeks was a nightmare for me. I do like my device so much but i even had to look for replacement because of this. What a mess. I tried literally everything but nothing worked except this. And MS told that they fixed everything. Yeah nice fix. But in the end i am happy that i dont have any hardware issues related to laptop or ssd.

still sticking with 1703 with mine for 13 Months.
Removed and blocked everything I did not want like spytana and edge and all the MS spyons, nearly all of the telemety.
Just the other day I tried again to do my own colors allover as it was so very simple done in win 7
Research showed that after 1703 windows completely removed ways to change these settings like creation of a theme in 7 and saving it as .themepack then just clicking on it in 1703 and you have all the color tweaks you did in 7 imported to 10.
If you run into a problem in 10 and you find a solution, there is a high percentage it does not work because it is for one of the other windows 10 versions.
What is the problem to not given them an simple 10.1 10.2…. 10.17??

I would really like to remove telemetry, edge, spytana etc. As well. Do you have a link to share for me to learn? I closed all the settings privacy but as i recall i have to stop some services etc. But i dont remember them correctly.
