Hi,

how can I keep audio active — or at least make it come back right away
— after there was no audio for a few seconds? It takes some seconds for the audio to come back, like when a movie was paused and playback is being resumed. I either have to scroll back or miss out on the audio, and that’s totally annoying. It also means that I can’t hear any notifications because the notification has finished playing long before the audio is back.

I tried

options snd-hda-intel power_save=0 pm_blacklist=1 power_save_controller=0

in /etc/modprobe.d/snd_hda_intel.conf, and it didn’t change anything.

Audio comes from an NVIDIA card connected to a display port. Disabling power management of the audio controller on the card didn’t help, either. All applications playing audio are affected.
