Help Audio_out2 wakelock on reboot

Hey all
I've got a GS2, stock and nonrooted. Recently updated to 4.1.2 using kies. Now, EVERY SINGLE TIME I reboot my phone, it refuses completely to enter the deep sleep state. Using BBS, it's obvious that the culprit is Audio_out2 wakelock. I have a temporary fix for this, but I have to do it every single time I reboot my phone (the fix is to open YouTube, begin playing a video, turn sound up then down, exit the video with media volume off. Phone then sleeps)

However, this is rubbish. I've gone nuts trying to find a solution. I've turned off all system sounds, uninstalled any apps which are music/media related, and nothing. Every reboot it comes back. Before the update to 4.1.2, I never had this problem.

Any help much appreciated :)
 
It seems you are not the only ones suffering from the Audio_out2 wakelock as this recent thread on xda developers forum demonstrates and offers some possible solutions.

Aha. Must be viber. Shame I can't uninstall it, need it to talk to international friends :/ guess I'm waiting for the viber update like everyone else. (as it says in ironass' link)

TEMPORARY FIX V2: in stweaks, if you tick the option 'JB low sound fix on boot' the wake lock disappears a short time (30 sec or so) after a reboot with no user input :)

Edit: I've just updated my phone to the latest pacman room (v22) which is 4.2.2. Seems to have fixed the problem! =)
