Hello all.
I have a USB soundbar (Dell AC511) hooked up to my laptop. It works fine but when the laptop is in sleep mode the soundbar stays on (the power indicator light is on and there is no power switch). Is this typical behavior? Is there a setting that I can adjust to prevent this?
Thanks.
1 Does the device's entry in Device manager, Properties have a Power mgmt tab that allows Windows to turn it off to save power?
2 What power states do you have? Run this command to find outCode:PowerCfg -a
All the best,
Denis
A note on power, the motherboard always has power to it unless the power cord is physically removed. Some ports therefore can have power as well as the Ethernet/RJ45 port [which usually has a small light on it as does the motherboard itself].
How has this progressed?
All the best,
And thanks for the rep,
Denis
It's really worth making time to browse through the Tutorial index - there's a shortcut to it at the top of every page.- At the foot of the Tutorial index is a shortcut to download it as a spreadsheet.- Tutorials are also listed by category at Tutorials - there's also a shortcut to that at the top of every page.
- I download a new copy each month.
- By downloading it as a spreadsheet I can benefit from Excel's excellent filtering capabilities when I search for topics of interest.
- Both tutorial lists are searchable.
- You can also search for TenForumsTutorials in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com/tutorials after your search term. For example,
taskbar toolbars site:tenforums.com/tutorials
