    Hi,

    I have the latest breakaway installed in my fully updated windows 10 laptop, but breakaway does not allow it to sleep properly.

    When breakaway runs (even no audio playing) and I try to just set the laptop to standby (close the lid), after some time it wakes up again.

    I ran the powercfg sleepstudy utility, and found that the violator was my audio card. So apparently breakaway keeps the card busy, even when trying to go to sleep mode.

    As a workaround, I can stop breakaway (right click on the tray icon and close) before going to sleep mode, and everything works as intended. The laptop sleeps without draining battery.

    Could you please look into this?

    Have you tried going into Device Manager, to your soundcard's properties, and if there's a "Power Management" tab, can you un-check "Allow this device to wake the computer" ?
