TeamSpeak client is preventing Windows 11 (24H2 26120.5733) from turning off monitors according to power settings.
Running powercfg /requests shows audio driver being in use:
powercfg /requests
DISPLAY:
None.
SYSTEM:
[DRIVER] High Definition Audio Device (HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_1220&SUBSYS_18492223&REV_1001\4&5f153c&0&0001)
An audio stream is currently in use.
AWAYMODE:
None.
EXECUTION:
None.
PERFBOOST:
None.
ACTIVELOCKSCREEN:
None.
I tried shutting down TeamSpeak and monitors turned off as expected.
Steps to reproduce:
- Windows Settings
- System
- Power
- Power & sleep button controls
- Set power button to turn off display
- Have TS open
- Turn off monitors with computer power button as configured
- Notice monitors turning back on after brief delay.
- Exit TeamSpeak
- Notice monitors turning off and remaining off until wakened.
This has not always been an issue with the client, as I’ve been able to leave TS running and walk away and come back to monitors being off.
UPDATE: I might have found a fix
This is not a TeamSpeak issue, but TeamSpeak as merely the application that highlighted the issue.
Here is what solved it for me:
Since it was an audio driver that caused issues with the screens not turning off according to power settings, I went and had a look at the settings for the audio device.
I opened the list of my audio devices, Playback in my case.
I selected the target device, opened Properties → Advanced
I had Exclusive mode enabled.
I turned Exclusive mode off and then restarted TS, to ensure all settings were reset.
After pressing the power button to turn the monitors off, they now stayed off.
The audio device is still present when running powercfg /requests
but at least my monitors turn off.
