Can we also talk about how Win11 just randomly drops audio for no reason after even a brief period of silence, then takes some random amount of time to start playing sound again? I'd say it was a problem with my home theater/gaming rig, but it happens on my work machine too.


Turn off power management for your sound device in Device Manager.


It's an HDMI connection. There is no such tab.


Speakers/Audio Jack or Bluetooth?

Sounds like the audio device going to sleep during periods of silence, then taking a short time to wake up again when audio is played. Maybe to avoid hiss?

For a data point of 1, my laptop does this regardless of OS.
