Windows 10: Windows 11 disabling/enabling my sound card

Everytime the speakers are idle, my sound output gets disabled, causing a booming sound from speakers. Once I play anything youtube or any other sound the speakers first crackle loudly and only then the sound comes out. It looks like windows is disabling speaker output when speakers are idle.How to fix this? My Power Plan is already set to High Performance and I don't have Power Management tab in Device Manager.Please help, it is very annoying and I am afraid my speakers will break.Windows 11 ProOS Build 22621.963Acer Swift SF314-54G
