I have upgraded to Windows 11 24H2 (26100.712) and am having issues with getting my USB Audio systems to stay awake. Whenever there is no sound playing, my USB audio system turns itself off, thinking that there is no power to the USB port that it's connected to.
I've changed the setting in advanced power options to disable selective suspend, but this does not do anything. I've also disabled powering down the drive setting in Device Manager (for USB ports), and still no luck.
My machine is pretty much useless as a work machine now, as my USB audio (Bose Companion 5) system turns off within minutes of no audio, silencing my machine so I'm unable to hear notifications or calls.
This bug has only happened since installing 24H2, I've checked device manager and there seems to have been new drivers installed with this update, so potentially some changes there.

Have exactly the same problem with same Bose Companion 5 speaker setup as mentioned by Ash after installing Windows 11 24H2 Build 26100.2161.
After a couple of minutes without any sound, the speakers are turned off.
This was working fine pre 24H2 update so it has definitely got to do with that, moreover since this problem exists with a lot of people as present in this thread.
Please fix this, since it is very frustrating to have to turn on speakers again and again and again....
Same problem here with bose companion 5.
I have windows 11 24h2 fresh install from microsoft website, build 26100
Hello. I'm having the same issue, when there's no audio playing I hear my headphone just disconnecting. I'm using an usb headphone, is there any solution to that? I have already used 24h2 like 2 months ago and had the same issue, so reverted back to 23H2, and right now I've got the update in the updates fully ready.
Any updates on this? We need a fix for this one, it's literally unusable right now with usb devices.
Have the same issue since "upgrading" to 24H2. Thought my audio interface broke. Becomes extremely problematic when recording sound. Changed all my USB sleep settings, but no effects.
3 trillions dollars company guys.
