(In reply to Harald Sitter from comment #9)
> Any news on this?
Firstly i think its important for me to say that as a general rule, i dont see
why any distro (ubunto as such is so common to see on the internet)
as needing to ever create/edit any such system files as all if one is using a
Desktop environment
OpenSUSE has YaST which is an extremely detailed and highly configurable
options to do with the OS at both a hardware and a software level
thus obfuscating any need to use cli/terminal - except perhaps for bug testing
when its deems that maybe the GUI options are not fully working as they should
or for optional scripts
I dont know if this is a distro specific issue or not
I have compiled some info below for you to review here:
Audio Issues - How to disable power savings in Linux:
https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/how-to-disable-power-savings-in-linux.40511/
As power-saving is quite often the root cause of distortions or malfunctions in
sound here my collection of possibilities to disable power-savings.
All commands are for Ubuntu, you may have to change things according to your
distribution.
Feel free to complete the possibilities...
1. Disable power saving in Pulseaudio
Edit /etc/pulse/default.pa and comment the following line:
NOTE: OpenSUSE Tumbleweed has no files called default.pa in /etc/pulse/
load-module module-suspend-on-idle by adding # in front
Result:
# load-module module-suspend-on-idle
Then restart the sound server.
"systemctl --user start pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket"
2. Disable power saving in Pipewire
copy alsa config script
"sudo cp -a /usr/share/wireplumber/main.lua.d/50-alsa-config.lua
/etc/wireplumber/main.lua.d/50-alsa-config.lua"
OPENSUSE KONSOLE TERMINAL OUTPUT:
lyraness@IntelPC-OS1 /$ sudo cp -a
/usr/share/wireplumber/main.lua.d/50-alsa-config.lua
/etc/wireplumber/main.lua.d/50-alsa-config.lua
cp: cannot create regular file
'/etc/wireplumber/main.lua.d/50-alsa-config.lua': No such file or directory
lyraness@IntelPC-OS1 /$
edit /etc/wireplumber/main.lua.d/50-alsa-config.lua
Line
--["session.suspend-timeout-seconds"] = 5, -- 0 disables suspend
gets
["session.suspend-timeout-seconds"] = 0, -- default is 5
restart wireplumber
"systemctl --user restart wireplumber"

Chat-GPT 3.5 Q & A:

!q Does it matter what linux distro one is on if one has KDE Plasma for the
purposes of always having any power savings related to audio turned off ?
ChatGPT.3.5-Turbo (Public)
For power savings related to audio, the Linux distribution itself doesn't have
a direct impact. Power management settings and features are typically
controlled by the desktop environment or power management tools that are
bundled with the distribution. In the case of KDE Plasma, you can control
power-saving settings through its system settings.
To access power management settings in KDE Plasma, you can follow these steps:
Click on the "K" menu icon at the bottom left corner.
Type "Power" in the search bar and select "Power Management."
In the Power Management settings, you will find options to configure various
power-saving features.
You can adjust settings like screen brightness, suspend behavior, and other
power-saving options according to your preferences. Keep in mind that some
settings may require administrator privileges to modify.
Overall, regardless of the specific Linux distribution, as long as you have the
KDE Plasma desktop environment installed, you should be able to access and
configure power management settings accordingly.

Is there a guarantee that the KDE Plasma 'Power Settings' option also has full
control of the audio when it comes to power savings ?
ChatGPT.3.5-Turbo (Public)
The KDE Plasma "Power Settings" option primarily focuses on power management
features related to system resources, such as CPU usage, screen brightness, and
sleep behavior. It may not have direct control over audio-related power
savings.
However, you can still achieve power savings for audio by adjusting settings in
other areas of your Linux distribution. For example, you can configure power
management settings for individual hardware components like the sound card or
audio devices. These settings are often found in the advanced options of your
distribution's power management tools or sound settings.
Additionally, some Linux distributions provide separate power management
utilities specifically for audio devices. These utilities allow you to
fine-tune power-saving features for audio hardware.
To summarize, while the KDE Plasma "Power Settings" may not have dedicated
audio power-saving options, you can explore other settings in your Linux
distribution or consider additional power management utilities to optimize
audio-related power consumption.
GAB A.I: Q & A:

ME:
Does it matter what linux distro one is on if one has KDE Plasma for the
purposes of always having any power savings related to audio turned off ?
GAB A.I.:
Yes, it matters what Linux distribution you are using even if you have KDE
Plasma. Different distributions have different configurations and settings for
power management, and they may not be identical or have the same options
available. To ensure that audio power savings are always turned off, you should
check the specific settings for your chosen distribution and adjust them
accordingly.
ME:
Can you state if there are any guarantees of exactly what the KDE Plasma's
'Power Management' option WILL provide ?
GAB A.I.:
The KDE Plasma's 'Power Management' option provides a set of tools and settings
that allow you to manage and optimize your system's power consumption. While it
can help improve battery life and reduce energy waste, there are no guarantees
that it will provide an exact or specific amount of power savings. The actual
results may vary depending on your hardware configuration, usage patterns, and
other factors that influence power consumption.
