I received a JBL Charge 4 speaker today for use as my PC speaker and it functions perfectly, except for one bothersome issue... it automatically turns off after 15 minutes if not in use. I searched online and found no option to disable this feature; the only solution mentioned is to follow the instructions in the product manual to prevent it from shutting down. As a beginner with technology, do anyone here know if there are any apps that can handle this?

Wasn't it worth thinking about playing music softly in the background while keeping the volume muted?

Consider using Task Scheduler to activate a specific process when it isn't running.
Determine which process operates during the speaker's use.
Utilize Task Scheduler to initiate that process when the identified process fails to start.
Task Scheduler offers various tools and settings that could be suitable.
Options include triggers, actions, conditions, and configurations.
For the relevant process: check Reliability History/Monitor or Event Viewer for automatic shutdown logs.
Set up a task that activates if "X" is off, then enables "X".

Theory suggests it's possible, but definitely requires coding. Someone has made PowerShell code for AudioDeviceCmdlets on GitHub. However, I'm not very skilled in PowerShell scripting.

There are numerous applications available. Just look for tone or frequency generators. Even though the original poster already discovered a more suitable option, it's important to remember to use a generator carefully and stay within the speaker's specifications to prevent any potential harm.

The tone or frequency generator is readily available, all that's required is to play the inaudible music file while the PC is running.

Certainly - there could be several practical options. The main goal is to identify why the auto-shutdowns occur first. It might be that another process is interfering, which then causes the audio to stop...

I would follow the link shared by @cruisetung and apply the Get-AudioDevice cmdlet to see the available parameters and settings. This won’t necessarily fix the root issue but could offer more clues about what’s happening.
Look at the output first when audio is functioning properly. Then check again right after it stops. Try to spot any changes. Use S
et to revert to the original configuration and see if the audio returns. My initial reference would be the "Playback..." settings.
Additional commands that might help are Get-Process and Get-PNPDevice.

Hey everyone, sorry for the delayed reply. As mentioned, I’m really new to technology, so hopefully you understand what I’m saying...
The DC power charger option suggested seems to be for Australian homes using AC power, right? (I’m not sure what the difference is, considering I’m still a beginner!)
I plugged it into a wall power point, but it keeps shutting off sometimes—especially when I go to sleep. I don’t want to have to turn it back on later because I’m tired and lazy. Would buying an AC to DC converter help?
