Find the silent audio source in Linux by checking system settings or using command-line tools.
Consider creating a brief audio clip lasting about a second with a barely noticeable fluctuation. This will signal the device it’s receiving input without being audible. Set up a recurring cron job that plays this file using a simple audio player, ensuring it runs silently without intrusive alerts.
I received the same audio chipset without any problems. If you want to turn off power saving, add the setting to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf (edit as root) with options snd-hda-intel power_save=0. Save changes and restart. PulseAudio is required on Ubuntu-based systems, otherwise the desktop might not work properly.
I tried to turn off the powersave feature using the provided guides, but it didn’t work. My system runs pulseaudio and has an ASUS H97-PRO motherboard. The only solution I discovered was applying black noise during startup.
