When I set my display to turn off after 'x' minutes with the power options then windows 8.1 puts the computer into lock. When it is in lock mode then I cannot hear any sounds from the desktop, no IM alerts, no music from WMP, ect. I still hear sounds from the Metro UI but I don't use it for all of my computing.
I have disabled lock screen via a reg edit so when I bring the computer back(pressing any key) it takes me directly to my desktop, but I still don't receive sound while its locked.
The PC is a Asus Transformer T100 running Windows 8.1
Yes I know I could just set it so the display doesn't turn off, but why should I have to sacrifice my battery life on Windows 8.1 when Windows 7 could do it without any issues?
