As far as I know there is no way to maintain audio through display over HDMI/DisplayPort if the display goes to sleep (no video signal, no clock, no audio). Also, when the monitor goes to sleep, then that output device no longer exists. Generally, the squeezelite player will have a problem with this and will/may abort. SLX is designed to detect when squeezelite aborts and will attempt to restart it. If/When it sees the selected output device is not present you'll get an error message and see the settings screen where you can select a valid output device. To avoid these problems, I generally don't route my audio through the monitor over HDMI/DisplayPort (if I can help it). Secondly, I choose "Primary Sound Driver" as my Output Device and in Windows I configure the default audio device to be what I want. This keeps squeezelite happy because it always has a valid output device no matter what and the Primary Sound device driver will switch to another audio device is the default disappears and hopefully back when it reappears.
