Lenovo Yoga 13 Flex :: Windows 8.1 - Physical Keyboard And Sound Disabled

Oct 24, 2013

So I love my Lenovo yoga until I upgraded to windows 8.1 then all of a sudden every time I signed into my computer via Microsoft account my keyboard and audio would be completely disabled I called Lenovo support they connected to my computer went through all of my settings and uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, nothing his last guess was to tell me to restore my computer.

So I did and as my laptop ramped up it asked to sign into a Microsoft account so I did (keep in mind this computer is fully functional after the restore everything works perfect) as soon as I hit the enter key the keyboard and audio become disabled fully disabled my, physical keyboard. Since the computer worked great right after the restore I also know that it is not a hardware issue as I have already sent it out to get all the sensors replaced its a software problem that revolves around my Microsoft account who do I talk to about this Lenovo? Or Microsoft? Lenovo just keeps telling me that I need to restore my computer completely ignoring the exact issues I am describing ,and as far as Microsoft account, this is not something I control I only own the account Microsoft manages it so why is my Microsoft account disabling my keyboard, again I stress I have done every single driver check there is I have uninstalled all of them and reinstalled.

I have looked through my settings as well as had a technician remotely control my computer to confirm that the computer is in perfect working order no settings out of place and then I restored all my settings to default and then restored the computer and everything works great until I enter my Microsoft account email and password  then my keyboard becomes disabled instantaneously. And yes I was able to sign in using the keyboard

Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro Flex :: Right Side USB Disabled At Boot

Sep 4, 2014

A couple of days ago, and quite some time after the latest BIOS upgrade I noticed that under windows the keyboard and mouse on a unified receiver wouldn't work anymore. I normally use Linux and didn't notice the malfunction because Linux does find the USB and enables it (as seen in logs) and they work.
 
First I thought it's some weird Windows driver issue but the thing that is different is that when booting (grub) or in BIOS - the keyboard and mouse don't work there as well indicating that apparently BIOS doesn't enable it at boot.
 
I am now not sure whether the BIOS upgrade did this or something else. Since it works under Linux I can hardly consider it as a hardware problem.
 
What works under Windows anyway is charging USB devices - so apparently something comes through that port.

Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro Flex :: Sound Quality Optimization

Nov 24, 2013

So I have been trying to optimize the sound quality of the headphone jack (I have a pair of Shure SE-420k IEMs and a small headphone amp) while trying to maintain the relatively good sound quality of the built in speakers:
 
1.  Uninstall Realtek drivers and use the basic Windows 8 drivers (this is what I'm currently doing)
 
Pros:  These drivers allow me to cleanly increase the bass with the Bass Boost (up to a 24 dB boost with whatever LPF cutoff you want) setting in the driver, so that plus a little bit of EQ for the highs in whatever music player you use (mainly Spotify and the EQualify plugin for me) plus the headphone amp yields satisfactory sound quality in my IEMs.  This is the only way I have achieved a clean, natural sound with deep low end bass in my IEMs from this computer.  It also gets rid of the annoying popup when you plug/unplug headphones.  Static in the line is also reduced.
 
Cons:  The above way of EQing gets you the perfect signal but at a very low amplitude so you need a headphone amp for your earphones.  And when you listen to music or whatever through the built in speakers, you have to go through the settings and disable the Bass Boost or it will be barely audible.  Even if you do this, the maximum volume is about half of what it was with the Realtek drivers and in apps like Hulu and Netflix this is a real problem.  Dolby Home Theater 4 also goes away when you uninstall Realtek but you don't really need it at this point.
 
2.  Keep the Realtek drivers and EQ the crap out of the earphones with whatever music software you use
 
Pros:  The built-in laptop speakers are loud and sound great.
 
Cons:  Hiss in the line when it comes to earphones.  If you don't EQ, the $400 earphones sound like $10 earphones.  And if you do EQ: 1.  They don't sound natural, 2.  Since most EQs only go to +-12 dB, the only way to get a +24 dB bass boost without distortion is to put your bass frequencies at +12 dB and all your other frequencies at -12 dB and this just sounds weird, also many EQs don't have a 32 Hz band, 3. To sum it up you can't get satisfactory sound out of the headphone jack, 4. There's a popup whenever you plug/unplug the earphones.

Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro Flex :: Keyboard Not Working?

Jul 18, 2014

I just bought a Lenovo Yoga 2 pro and installed windows 8.1 by itsef. During Windows 8.1 initial setup I was able to use keyboard to type in PC Name, but after that the keyboard and touch pad was not working/no any response any more. After Windows 8.1 lunched the keyboard also no any response. I have to use touch screen soft keyboard. But when laptop in BIOS mode (turn power off and press a small round button next to power button) the keyboard was working fine. So I think that the keyboard hardware is ok, but some thing iwas wrong with Windows 8.1 software issue. I also un-selected all on Easy of Access->Keyboard section in Windows 8.1.

Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro Flex :: Audio Jack - No Sound Comes Out Of Headphones

Jan 14, 2014

I have a brand new Yoga 2 Pro that has an audio jack problem. The internal speakers play audio just fine.  When I plug in a pair of headphones into the jack on the right side of the unit, no audio comes out of the headphones.  The internal speaker continues to produce audio as if there is nothing plugged in. 
 
Failed solutions:

I've tried using various types of headphones.  No change.
I tried re-downloading the audio realtek drivers from the lenovo website and re-installing them.  No change.
I tried rolling back the audio driver to the Windows version.  No change.
 
Is there anything else I can try?   Non-working audio jack makes this a dealbreaker and I'll need to return the unit.
 
Update: According to Lenovo phone support, all my headphones are 3.5mm and they need to be 2.5mm.  Frankly, I think they have it backwards and what I have are 2.5mm plugs, but either way I'm headed to radio shack to find an adapter to make this work.

Lenovo Yoga Flex :: Keyboard Backlight Will Not Turn Off On Y2P

May 20, 2014

I've owned my Y2P for the last 3 or 4 months now.  Keyboard backlight always turned off/on with Fn Spacebar just fine... until today.  Fn+Space just gets the keyboard backlight to flash off for a second, and then back on.
 
Also I checked and all of the other Fn keys work.  Also the Caps Lock light doesn't come on either.
 
And if that's not all, My power indicator light is amber even when fully charged.  (solid, not blinking)

Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro Flex :: Movement (scrolling) On Screen Interferes With Sound?

Oct 19, 2014

Just picked up my brand new Yoga 3 Pro a few days ago and on the whole I love it, except I've just noticed there's an odd issue when listening to music (whether it be local or streaming thru spotify).
 
If I'm browsing a document in Word or even when accessing the Lenovo Support screen from the Start menu, any left to right horizontal scrolling (either with the touch screen or touchpad) causes a crackling interference to the sound. I did notice it would crackle as the Discussion forum cards were loading up and appearing too. 
 
It's not the physical speakers themselves because this occurs thru headphones as well. 
 
Strange thing is it doesn't occur when scrolling vertically through a document. 
 
On the whole it's not a HUGE problem, but given it's a brand new 2grand laptop, now while it's still brand new and I haven't even had a chance to load much onto it. How to stop this from happening?

Lenovo Yoga 211 Flex :: Transition Does Not Disable Mouse / Keyboard?

Sep 6, 2014

I have a Yoga 2 11.  It seems that all of a sudden that Lenovo Transition is not disabling the mouse and keyboard until the computer is in the full tablet mode.  It used to disable these features in stand mode so when the computer is sitting on the keyboard, it's not pressing any keys. But it's not working anymore. I have uninstalled the program, re-downloaded the software from lenovo, installed it, and also checked for updates.  I also tried both drivers for windows 8 and 8.1 ....

Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro Flex :: Keyboard Is Not Enabled When Opening The Display Lid After Standby?

Sep 14, 2014

My Yoga 2 Pro has very often problems to activate the keyboard when I open the display.
 
This is what I do:
 
- working with the Yoga 2 Pro
- close all applications and after that I close the display
- after a while (can be a few minutes or several hours) I open the display
- it take a few seconds until the display is turned on (that's expected)
- in at least 50% the keyboard stays deactivated. The backlight can't be turned and the notebook does not notice any pressed key. I'm unable to log in :-(
 
- I need to close the display again, need to wait a few seconds - and when I open the display for a second time, the keyboard gets activated - not always, but most often. But sometime the keyboard stays disabled although I try the described procedure many time. If that happens I need to reboot the machine.
 
All drivers are updated.

Lenovo Yoga 13 Flex :: Lag After Updating To Windows 8.1

May 24, 2010

I recently updated my Yoga 13 to Windows 8.1 and am now experiencing significant lag when resuming from suspend and periodically while I work. Often I will type and not see the text on the screen for another 5+ seconds. 
 
I have run Malwarebytes and Windows Defender and found no malware. By keeping an eye on the task manager I have not been able to identify a misbehaving process.

Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro Flex :: Can't Install Windows Updates

Sep 29, 2014

I love everything about my yoga2 pro, except, when I got it I installed a win 8.1 upgrade because windows told me to. everything seemed to be fine.

After that, the system asked me to install another upgrade. when trying to install that one it said it could not install and was undoing the changes. I read some forums awhile back and it talked about a particular update that needed to be uninstalled before you could proceed. I tried to do that, but it wouldn't let me uninstall the initial 8.1 that i installed.
 
I let it go because it was asking me like every month or so to automatically shut me down and install updates. But now it forces me to install updates every two days and then can't update so, it undoes it changes and it takes like 30-45 minutes or so. Plus, i do need to get it to be able to accept the updates at some point.
 
I'm thinking I have to wipe everything and start from scratch??

Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro Flex :: Screen Not Rotating On New Windows 8.1 Install

Dec 1, 2014

I got my new Yoga 2 Pro last week and the screen rotation worked properly. I decided to wipe the partitions and install my own version of Windows 8.1.

Since then the screen rotation doesn't work. The screen rotation button doesn't do anything and I don't have the 'Enable auto-rotate' checkbox in the resolution screen
 
In my device manager I have an error on 'HID Sensor collection' saying "This device cannot start" (Code 10). Failed to initialize sensor from HID collection descriptor". I am not sure if this is related.

Lenovo Yoga Flex :: IdeaPad Does Not Switch On - Shut Down In Windows 8.1

Sep 19, 2014

My Lenovo Ideapad Flex laptop does not switch on when I press the power button.  It was working till this morning, when I switched it off (via an operating system shut down in Windows 8.1). When I tried to turn it on an hour later, I found that pushing the power button has no effect at all. 
 
I tried pushing the novo button.  In this case the laptop does turn on and shows the "lenovo" welcome screen for a few seconds.  However, it promptly switches off again.  The symptoms do not depend on the laptop being connceted to power: they are exactly the same in the two cases.

Lenovo Yoga 13 Flex :: Updated To Windows 8.1 - Now No Video Or Audio In Installed Apps

Dec 15, 2012

I upgraded to WIndows 8.1 a few hours ago (available in Store).  However, ever since the upgrade I can no longer watch videos or hear sound in all Apps.
 
Netflix gives me a message that there is a problem with this system's configuration that prevents Windows from playing protected video and error code W8156-8007007E.
 
Xbox Music player gives me "Can't play. Make sure your computer's sound and video cards are working and have the latest drivers"  error code  0x00d11d1 (0x8007007e).
 
All the other Apps that have video, and or audio, give various errors messages (e.g.,  "The video failed to play".
 
Now I can watch imbedded You Tube videos in Internet Exployer.
 
I did find KB2756872 that seems to address the problem with protected videos not playing.  However, it doesn't mention if it is compatible with Windows 8.1 and when I follow the manual update method where you make changes in Regedit. I did not see the key that needs to be deleted.
