[QUOTE="wjw, post: 1287384, member: 79284"] Hi CyberSimian, Thanks for the reply and suggestion. I had looked for some kind of hardware solution (unsuccessfully) and your suggestion looks promising. However since posting the questionI have realised that MP itself provides a solution! Powerscheduler in Expert Settings mode provides an override function to put Windows into sleep/hibernation regardless of any activity that might be going on outside MP. So, in this case, where the audio stream is being driven quite independently by Voicemeeter - even when nothing is actually playing - invoking the Powerscheduler functionality puts my PC into hibernation after the allotted time. Since this PC is a dedicated media centre run by MP this suits me fine. Another bonus of this approach is that because of the way Voicemeeter works the two outputs are completely independent and carry their own volume etc. controls - and because the splitting is taking place on the PC the headphones can be connected via Bluetooth rather than over what would have to be really rather long cable. So now I can control the volume of what I hear from the headset itself while my wife has control of the remote and can set the speakers to be at whatever level she wants. [/QUOTE]
