They are great speakers, but have this annoying 'standby mode' in which they power down after being idle for 10 minutes. How Steam comes into the picture it's unclear for me. Hello, I recently bought a pair of Creative T40's. That's my theory based on my current knowledge. Probably this sound gets transmitted to the monitor which wakes it up immediately after go to sleep. When the monitor goes to sleep looks like Windows detects it as a hardware change and plays a sound (like disconnecting a USB device). The monitor has a headphone output and both DP and HDMI will transmit sound to the monitor.

Wow what made you think it was the NVIDIA High Definition Audio device? Disabling it solved my PC not going to sleep but in the end I just used a different display port on my GPU.

Tried lots of things but looks like this is a combintation of hardware and software issue. Due to the limitation on the displayport, I can't even disable the sound throughput over displayport. Unfortunately this isn't an option for me because a TV is also connected to the graphic card using HDMI and I need the sound through that. If I disable the NVIDIA High Definition Audio device in the device manager, the issue goes away If Steam is running the monitor goes to sleep and inmediately turns back on. I'm using a monitor with speakers getting the sound through displayport audio (Samsung Odyssey G9) and using an RTX 2080 Ti. Originally posted by NYüSTi:I'm experiencing the same issue, and tiaged a few things. I can obviously work around this by just closing Steam when I'm done but it's a bit annoying. I can find plenty of stuff saying there was / is an issue with audio being held open by store videos, but it isn't that. Overriding system, display and awaymode via powercfg for steam, web helper and client service.Īll of the powercfg diagnostic options / logs, nothing shows as Steam doing anything out of the ordinary. Starting with -no-browser so that steamwebhelper isn't running, and it still does it. What is a bit odd is that `powercfg /requests` shows nothing as being open. If I close Steam, it turns off and stays off, and the computer goes to sleep and stays asleep just fine. If I set the monitor to turn off after 1 minute and the PC to sleep after 1 minute, the monitor will just flick off and immediately back on again when Steam is running. It only started fairly recently but I can't figure out what has changed. I've just figured out that Steam is preventing my PC from going to sleep (Windows 10).
