Powerscheduler++ with AVR Audio Guard (1 Viewer)

[George Imrie]

Hi,

New to the forum, so apologies if this has already been covered.

I'm running MediaPortal 1.3 with PowerScheduler++ and AVR Audio Guard to keep the HDMI audio channel open. The problem is that AVR is preventing the PC going into standby mode. Everything works as expected if I shut down AVR, but I'd rather just add an exception to PowerScheduler to ignore AVR.

The process being reported as preventing standby is.... (HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8086&DEV_2806&SUBSYS_80860101&REV_1000\4&1d83e7a9&0&0301)
[DRIVER] Legacy Kernel Caller

Any ideas how I can tell PowerScheduler to ignore this process??

PS++ is depending on the info that OS gives and AVR audio guard is probably just playing a silent audio stream which is making the OS think that there is something ongoing and it wont allow standby.

Thanks for the quick reply. I guessed that was what was happening, but is there no workaround other than manually stopping AVR audio guard every time? Ideally I want the PC to standby and wake up without me having to stop and start audio guard.

I saw this command on another post, which looks like it stops the system monitoring audio guard, but running it at command prompt didn't seem to make any difference...
powercfg -requestsoverride process "AVR Audio Guard.exe" Display System

This seems to be no process but a device driver. You can try to override this driver's requests for system with "powercfg /requestsoverride ...". For the exact syntax call "powercfg /?".
