For those of you who use Sleep or Hibernation on a desktop computer, does that affect the power settings for USB and PCI devices? I mentioned that if I leave my computer on a few hours, my audio output device gets reassigned! I tracked it down to the advanced power settings in Windows Device Manager affecting the driver assignment when they timed out. Everything is unfortunately set on full power now. There is more required to making a permanent fix here, but will this problem happen if I put the computer to sleep overnight?
