Hey everyone just wondering if this is even the right part of the forum to ask this if not please recommended where I could ask it.

My issue is that while using my pc hooked to a bluetooth sound bar. Often while doing tasks that do no require sound the speaker will auto shut off (dear electronics manufacturers please stop adding this "feature") what I am looking for is some kind of light weight app that will run in  the background and periodically send a spoofed sound signal to the speaker to fool it into thinking it is getting sound.  I had a similar issue with a soundbar hard wired to my bedroom tv streaming stick it fixed itself after I bought a cheap mixer that constantly provides a low hum to the system.

I don't think something like this exists. Check device manager, some devices have an "allow the computer to turn off the device to save power" option, turn it off if it's there.

If the speaker is just badly designed there isn't much you can do, switch to a wired speaker or one with both wired/wireless if you really need it.

Create a silent mp3 in Audacity then play it back on a loop?

I used this exact method when i needed it. It works very well. I'm using firefox and i could even mute the tab but it would still keep the audio device active. Maybe that works with other browsers aswell.
