Factorio Forums

Since 2.0 I have had an issue where my speakers go to sleep after a few minutes when I'm playing factorio.
If I then start a youtube video, my speakers wake up and I can hear Factorio again.
Somehow the sound output from Factorio is not enough to keep my speakers awake.

Has anyone tried this, or have a solution for a fix?

I'm not even sure it's a factorio problem, but so far no other games have done this.

The speakers in question are Creative Inspire T3300.

Hello,
this seems very unusual and out of our control.
"not enough sound output" doesn't make much sense to me, data-wise the output should be constant.
It looks to me as a driver issue, you can try changing the preferred audio driver in Sound Settings (requires restarting the game).

You can try turning the Windows sound volume and ingame volume to 100% then lower the volume on the speaker. Creative speakers need a lot of sound input to wake up from sleep

Wockes advice totally worked! Thanks a lot

@Donion, I did suspect the problem to be outside of factorio, but I also figured that this forum would be chock full of a wide variety of tech-saviness.

Thank you both for replying!
