Audio sometimes works/doesn't on laptop

[gtx1060=value]

Well, my thinkpad w541 is great and all - but sometimes the audio doesn't work and the fans rev up really fast and when i wait for the fans to cool down or whatever background thingy to stop running, the audio then works, - help, what should i do

how long does the period of audio not working last? is it only on startup?

 

BTW: Change your name to RX480=Value

Link in my sig if you want to know why
