1.In Windows 10, go to “Control Panel” > “Power Options” > “Change plan settings” for your current power plan. Then click on “Change advanced power settings”. Expand the “Multimedia settings” and make sure that the option “When sharing media” is set to “Allow the computer to enter Away Mode”. This setting can sometimes affect the behavior of audio devices during reboot.
- In both Windows 10 and 11, go to the “Power Options” in the Control Panel. Check the power plan settings for your computer and make sure that there are no settings that could be causing the docking station to enter a sleep state too quickly. For example, look at the “USB settings” in the advanced power settings and make sure that “USB selective suspend setting” is set to “Disabled”. This will prevent Windows from putting USB - connected devices (like the docking station) into a power - saving sleep state.
3.Docking Station Driver and Firmware
Check the ORICO website for any available driver updates or firmware updates for your docking station model (ORICO ds500). Out - of - date drivers or firmware could be causing compatibility issues with your mini - PC. Install the latest updates and see if the problem persists.
Make sure that the docking station is receiving sufficient power. Some docking stations require an external power adapter to function properly. Check if the power adapter is working correctly and providing the correct voltage and current. If the power supply is insufficient, it could cause the docking station to enter an abnormal sleep state.
