raja@asus :
Check for a driver update on the ASUS website and the sound vendor website. If there is a newer version update the drivers and see if it persists.
If that does not help, last debug would be to perform a a clean Windows install on a spare HDD for debugging purposes. Install the latest motherboard drivers and sound driver and see if you still get the problem. If you don't, it's some kind of software conflict. If you do, more likely a hardware issue.

Johntorie :
I have got the same issue with the sound getting cut every few secconds with my 2.1 speakers on the back or front panel. However when I use my headphones there is no problem. I allready installed the newest drivers, did a bios update, installed new copy of windows 8 and 7, even installed a dedicated soundcard but it didnt solved it. Tho when the sound is cut for a long time and I turn my volume up and down of my speakers.. the sound returns again. Hopefully this will ring a bell for anyone
everybest :
If adjusting the volume dial on your speaker is fixing the issue, I would look into testing out new speakers to check if that's the problem. Sounds that way, especially since you said there were no problems with your heaphones when plugged into the same ports as your speakers.
As a note, I never resolved this issue. Ended up buying an external DAC (sound card) to bypass the motherboard audio.
Hi-Kongo Again..
Ref : Same problems but with windows 8 Pro.
- Interesting. At first I thought it was my damaged wifi module that was causing this, (I got a return and plugged in the new one) but when I re-installed windows last week. and found that my audio was having the disconnecting problem again and my mouse was having hickups and stalled all the time.!!!!!! (back to square one)
- I eventually tried Rajas' advice and here are the results.
1. On my first try, I made a clean install on everything and updated the drivers.... but the problem with Audio was still there. (always disconnecting and my USB wireless mouse was not functioning properly..)
2. On the second try, I made another clean install and Updated the drivers.. and then allowed windows to update itself ... The problems still remained.
3. On my 3rd try.....(Almost gave up and was deciding to buy a new board and go back to windows 7!!!!! ) I made another clean install but this time allowed windows 8 to update itself several times (took me 1-2 days!!! after work) and then went into the Asus website to download the latest drivers ( I mean all of them, but some didn't install such as Lucid-Virtu.....)
- Somehow I noticed that there was a new driver for the Intel Management Engine Interface (Intel ME) which was not recently in the drivers list ?????? In the info section it says that it was "for updating to version 8.1 and. (require version 8 to be installed) ...and specifies that this is required for windows 8 compatibility.!!!!!!!....
- So.... When trying to install Intel (ME) Update at the first time was not successful.!!!! kept rejecting saying Incomplete Installation.....#@!- something was wrong and so I checked my device manager for the item and found that it was already updated to Intel (Me) ver 9.0.0.1287. (Must have installed itself from windows updates....)
-Anyway, after installing all of the drivers from the ASUS website...Everything was fixed !!!!!!!!!!.... My Audio was back to normal... and my mouse was functioning perfectly. IT REALLY WAS A DRIVERS PROBLEM......
-Many thanks for your advice. It seem that this board was not really FULLY compatible to windows 8 at the time of purchase....
- Try it out people... Don't give up....
