Audio playback prevents standby

1

Playing back audio (actually it's the driver, not the specific application used) keeps my Windows 7 system from going to standby - any way to change this behaviour? While it might be useful in general, I'd like to change it for me. Thanks :-)

You can set this in Power options in Control panel.

  1. Win+R -> powercfg.cpl
  2. Slect at your active power plan: Change plan settings
  3. Slect Change advanced power settings
  4. In multimedia settings, set When sharing media to Allow the computer to sleep

thank you, but I have to say that I am playing back media diretly on my system, it's not being streamed. The options you mentioned seems to affect streamin/sharing only, anyway will give it a try ;-) – stefan.at.wpf – 2012-12-02T17:57:18.973
