Same issue for me here too. This is a common problem that Acer needs to fix, it's extremely annoying, and if they don't fix it soon I will probably never purchase another Acer product. I've owned many Acer's and loved most of them but recently the cheap materials, and software issues have made me steer clear of them. I've done everything I can to fix the issue and the only thing that will resolve it is a reboot. I've tried reinstalling the driver/ removing, then installing driver. Played with settings related to driver in sounds, and device manager. Restored the entire system with the provided disc, and installed a fresh copy of Windows 8 from a fully formatted SSD using my own disc. Not a single thing has worked. If they don't fix it soon I will be taking it back, saving my money, and getting a Samsung Ativ or something better. I love this tablet, but if I can't rely on a $600 item, then I'll get something that I can rely on.

Now I think it's a driver problem --- I turned off audio hardware acceleration and I have no problem with sound for one week already.

Thanks for the tip I'm gonna give it a try and see if it works for me.

Hardware acceleration removal did not fix the problem. Can we have an official statement?

Iconia w510 bought 15th december. Every driver/bios updates has been done.

Well. same issue with the sound : it goes down very often (only a shutdown - power up will make the sound come back). I hope Acer team will get back to this problem after their vacations

 here I'm researching ready to buy one tomorow moring and now I'm reading this **bleep** !!!  It's bad enough newegg has the same model on the Canadian Site but not only 2 listings at 2 different prices ( 200 dolars apart from one anohter ) which is baffling as they both have the same specs but they are running 1.8 ghz processors !!!  To where everywhere else I look from Futureshop , The Source, BestBuy , TigerDirect.ca Ncix.ca they are all sporting 1.5 !!!!!
