About a week ago I noticed that my desktop wasn't sleeping after 30
minutes, the screen did go into standby after 20 minutes, it will sleep
if I use the sleep button on the keyboard.

I have Googled until my fingers hurt trying all the suggestions but
can't got it working.

powercfg requests gives -

SYSTEM:
[DRIVER] High Definition Audio Device
(HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0892&SUBSYS_1458A10 2&REV_1003\4&b0b129f&0&0001)

An audio stream is currently in use.

I've looked this up and tried the many fixes, non of which work.

It's now time to swallow my pride and ask for help.

Windows 10 64bit, (latest updates), NVIDIA GeForce GT 430 video card
(drivers up to date), 1TB SSD Samsung C: drive.

Any help appreciated.


Well, one of your applications is holding an audio stream open. The trick
is to figure out which one.

I know from experience that both the Steam and Origin clients can cause
an audio stream hold, so if you're running either of those, shut one down
and see if the request is released. For me, this was usually what was
causing that system request.

Otherwise, you shut down running applications one-by-one from the task
manager and check powercfg after each application you shut down, and
eventually, hopefully, you should find the offending application.

Good luck.
