Idle sound drop question

[tylersmith011]

I'm using windows 10 with 2x apollo 8's (silverface) monitoring through my silverface apollo 16 and I've got an apollo twin and 2x octo accelerators. All running on a thunderbolt 2 connection.


So when I leave my computer idle for a while. Probably over like 20-30 mins (it's not going to sleep) the sound stops coming through my monitors if I listen to anything(only temporarily). If I let the audio source keep playing eventually(after maybe 10-15 seconds) the sound kicks back on and everything works just fine. I'm wondering if there is a way to prevent this from happening? It's not really messing with my workflow at all or anything it's just kind of annoying.

Thanks for any help

Your monitors are probably going into a ‘standby’ mode.
Is there an LED in front or the back that maybe turns off, dims, or changes color? For example, my nearfields have a blue led when fully powered on, but after probably 45 mins of no signal going through them, they go into a standby mode and the led turns red. It takes them about 6 secs to come back to life after I restart playing audio through them.

ahhhh you're probably right. I've got a KRK sub that my monitor cables are routed to and then they route out of the sub to the monitors. The monitors don't show anything different but I bet the sub is going into standby mode. Appreciate the help
