Creative Gigaworks T40 Falling Asleep
 

My speakers keep falling asleep, by which I mean going into a standby mode, which is the single most annoying thing in the world, and is stressing me out.. I have to play sound for about 5 seconds for them to come back on which is plainly annoying

Having done a googlie it looks like its an EuP regulation and cant be disabled.... :mad:

Any gurus know how i can keep the speakers awake (without playing continuous sound) maybe circuit modification??

Craig i have an identical issue with my onboard Realtek sound card and have done for ages.

You could be watching a film and suddenly sound will go off and as soon as u move the slider sound comes back on.

I thought it was a driver issue but i have tried 3 different drivers and all do the same, im wondering if its an update thats come down part of windows 7.

I have the Creative T20's and mine do it too, they go to 'power saving mode' after 12 minutes of inactivity. It is mildly annoying. (win 8.1)

Thats not the issue I have at all...

It would be okay if they came back on within a reasonable amount of time, im still looking into whether this is a hardware or firmware controlled sequence and as to whether it can be overridden ;)

First the vacuum cleaners and now this... I'm beginning to hate the EU and all their regulations.
