Samsung Ativ 500T - 8.1 hang on boot - Sound Driver

Mar 24, 2015 11:31PM PDT

After much troubleshooting I have narrowed the problem with the Samsung Ativ 500T to the sound driver. RE: Installing Windows 8.1 results in the tablet hanging on boot at the Samsung logo. The driver hasn't been updated since 2012. Uninstalling the sound driver in safe mode will allow the tablet to boot.

Your move, Samsung.
