    Per-monitor sleep settings


    I use an HDMI connection for both a screen and audio, so when the screen goes to sleep I lose sound. Is there a way to configure a particular monitor/HDMI connection to never sleep? I want to keep power saving settings on my display, but not lose sound when it goes to standby.


    Thanks!

    :)

    Monitor Defies Sleep Setting

    I have followed every suggested setting posted regarding monitors going to sleep even though the setting for monitor sleep is set to "Never". A Microsoft agent told me I would have to reset Windows 10 to get it to work properly. I did that and spent 2
    days reinstalling all of my programs, but the monitor still fall asleep against the "Never" setting. I've run the Power Troubleshooter and it tells me my timer setting are too long and then proceeds to change them for me. (That's something I don't appreciate,
    I am capable to make my own decisions on those settings.)

    In any event, has Microsoft created a hidden setting somewhere that keeps switching my "Never" setting back to "15 minutes"? I'm about to dump Windows 10 and return to Windows 7. I am at the point with this that I almost wish I had never upgraded. Maybe
    that's why it's free, it is acting like a beta.

    Does anyone have any other suggestions on how to get the settings for monitor sleep to stick?

    Thanks and sorry about the rant.

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds
