    One of my monitors has the weirdest and most irritating hardware bugs....
    I use it's speakers, usually to put a video while I'm doing something else. My OS let's me send just the video's audio to those speakers, and I send whatever else I'm doing to my main speakers.
    If audio to that monitor stops, even if there is still video data going to it, the audio circuitry turns off. If I then start audio again, it takes ages for the audio to engage.

      If I pause a video, when I resume, I miss several lines of dialog.
      The work around for this... I play a very long audio track of silence in the background on those speakers to keep them awake. 😆

      @GreenRoc I like power saving! But... if I'm still sending video, then obviously, I'm still using it.
      I wouldn't be so irritated if there was any way to disable this strange feature, or if it was a much longer delay. Maybe turning off the audio circuitry saves an appreciable amount of power. ...but perhaps it'd be better if it did that when there hasn't been any audio in 15 minutes. Or, like I said, let me turn this stupid "feature" off!

      @hellomiakoda i have a personal pet peeve of thses systems that power down in a short amount of time because of other lazy farks that leave their stuff on.

      Whatever can make this obnoxious monitor stop it's bullshit. LoL.

      The problem is... I remember something about that I tried years ago and it did not play nice at all with my laptop's DAC.
      This thing has a nice DAC in it, you can hear it click over, sounds like little relays, when the DAC comes on.
      The onboard DAC hasn't don't the weird crap like the monitor except a short period where there was a driver bug back when it was newer.

      @hellomiakoda
      There is a soft mixer feature of pipewire that effectively leaves the actual device audio at 100% all the time and adjusts the volume in software instead.

      That should (in theory) prevent that, but it would probably mean a bit more energy usage. I doubt it would be enough to measure though.

      If you're interested I can find more details. I have it setup in my nixOS config for one of my devices that has some odd audio issues.

      That bug on the DAC was the most annoying bug ever.
      *click, click click* *music* *click click click* no music *click click click* music...
      Over and over and over, triggered by resuming from even just display going dark at idle.
      I had to put up with that for about 2 or 3 months.

      And it was part of the fucking firmware!
      It didn't matter what I was running on it!
      OK, so I'll use a secondary audio device on USB till it's fixed, right? Nope, every time it did it, it'd drop the default back to the DAC!

      I don't remember what work around I used, I just remember it being a horrible non-solution and a miserable couple of months with it. Manufacturer was sympathetic and assured me it'd be fixed.
      The update was a miserable process to flash, but once it finished the terrifying flash process, it needed one more cold boot and... *click click, click* and it'd stay on after resume. Been nice ever since.
