R61i audio problem - newest 3.38.0.52 driver - Win XP

[majro]

Hello, I have the following problem. I put my ThinkPad to standby, or hibernate mode. Then I put it on, and sound is distorted. When I restart, it is gone.

I recorded it (it is the same sound, the first is normal, the second is the distorted one):
normal:

distorted:

I suspect it has something to do with this:

Version 4.18.0.0 (Vista) / 3.38.0.52 (XP)

* (New) (Windows XP only) Enhancement of battery life during standby.

When I rollbacked it back to 3.38.0.51, it looked like this problem was gone.

If somebody has the older version, either the 3.38.0.50 or 3.38.0.51, I would be glad if you could provide it for me. I wasn't been able to find one on the internet. Why Lenovo can't provide also the older versions of drivers, is unknown to me.

Thank you.

Thank you, ryengineer.

Unfortunately it didn't help. Now I don't know what else to try to solve that issue.

Lenovo email support replied automatically that I am beyond the 30 day Software warranty period after purchase. I purchased my ThinkPad on 24th January, so that is incorrect. I thought I would be more satisfied with my ThinkPad and Lenovo support in general

Should I call them?

Sure, you're entitled to.
