Windows 10: Prevent Windows from putting USB speaker to sleep

I have a USB speaker connected to my Win 10 1903 18362.1016. What I experience is that if I play a sound on that USB speaker after it having been idle just the speaker for a while, the first half second or so of the sound is chopped off. If I play multiple sounds after the first sound after the pause, they subsequent sounds all play fine.


I have done the following:

* On all USB hubs, I have disabled the turning off of the hub to conserve power

* In Power Settings, I have disabled selective turning off USB selective suspend

* On the speakers, I have turned off all enhancements

* On the Communications tab of the sound dialog, I have selected "Do Nothing"

* I have checked that drivers are up to date seems to be using a generic Windows driver


The USB speaker is plugged into the box directly rather than a hub. I have allowed applications to take exclusive control of the speakers.


I am at a loss for where to search. Any ideas?


Thanks,

B

USB Speaker prevent display sleep/screensaver

I have a pair of Klipsch R-15PM speaker connected to Windows 10 Education version (up to date), however, I noticed that it is preventing my display going to sleep. If i turn off the speakers, display will turn off at the set time/screensaver will come on
at the set time.

• I've been googling and made sure that running "powercfg -requests" doesn't show any processes using audio stream, in fact, nothing is showing there.
• I've also went into Device Manger, and make sure all the USB that has the Power Management properties have the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
• I went into Advanced Power options and Disabled USB selective suspend setting

I'm not sure what else I can do to fix this problem, when I fresh install this Windows, everything works fine, I believe it only shows up after downloading the Creator/Fall Creator's update. Here's a screenshot of the driver and my Device Manger.
