Chuwi hi10 sound card failed. Device Manager finds no problems. The devices are found and the drivers are installed, but there is no sound (
at the same time, the RAM has decreased to 3 GB.
What could be?

I have the same exact problem!
I performed a clean install of Windows 11 last week and installed all drivers backup I had collected from DISM command when I first received the drvice. All worked perfectly fine.
However, yesterday, Windows Update showed me an optional update of a firmware which I sadly performed. The update went smoothly but I noticed two things:
-
at boot, just after Chuwi boot logo screen, it appears another screen with a message in chinese which I’m not able to decipher. It refers to some LAN info…
-
sound drivers went missing and i was not able to install my backup as it showed me that they weren’t the right device drivers. After a lot of research I was able to install some intel smart sound technology drivers, but still audio is not working.
-
RAM is now listed as only 3GB instead of 6GB.
It is very strange. I think this firmware update messed with the original chuwi bios firmware and the devices info such as the sound devices and RAM…i don’t know…
I would like to flash an old version of BIOS firmware. Can someone provides it?
I have this model:
Chuwi Hi10 X
Intel N4120 6GB RAM
Intel UHD Graphics 600
Model: Hi10XG128G210208985 CWI529

Yes! I also got such a screensaver with hieroglyphs! And maybe after that, the sound and 3 GB of RAM disappeared.

I agree with everything that has been said above. I have the same issue. I updated windows 10 to windows 11. And now I have no sound, only 3 GB of RAM, and a screen with hieroglyphs when booting.
Please provide a solution to this problem!

Hi, I am waiting for an answer from support. Have you tried this? I don’t see the link to the installation tutorial. Can you share it?
I haven’t been able to download the archive for three days. Tech support posted the archive on a super slow file sharing service.
The instructions were sent in docx format. and I can’t publish it here (this is the usual instruction for creating a bootable WINPE flash drive
I’m sorry! I’m wondering how much that info about 3GB of RAM actually affect usability. For istance: do the tablet still works as fast as it should or is it slower now that only 3 GB are recognized?
Also, as it was an issue due to that firmware update, did the audio came back?
@Chuwi Support: please help us!
No, the tablet is now running slowly. as it should work on 3 GB of RAM. Apps take longer than usual to load!
No sound after reinstall.

I’m very sorry! Did you perform a clean install with the image they gave you?
I still haven’t received any news via email from support.
yes, it’s a clean image. The system is the same as after buying a tablet.
Ive got the exact same problem after doing a cumulative update. Chinese writing on boot talking about wifi, then no audio device and 3GB ram. This needs fixing!
We need to keep this thread active until a solution to this problem is found.
I have the same problem. We need the original Chuwi BIOS file for Hi10 X and UEFI-utility for flashing it, not more.
We are waiting for link to BIOS/utility from the official Chuwi support!
all above are ess386 sound chip variant.
X with 4120
