Hey I'd like to make a feature request. Quoting my most recent benchmark thread:
If you have a VR headset and are having issues with the non-USB audio being unavailable, run this script: https://pastebin.com/q290MdtQ
If you have other weird issues and are having audio output by your video card, I would also recommend giving that script a shot.
Here is more background on this issue
The TL;DR is that nvidia in all their ungodly wisdom have the HD Audio driver set to go to the deepest sleep state possible after ***four seconds***, and many devices are incapable of waking it back up. My script changes it to never go to sleep after it's installed, but I think it would be a helpful addition to have NVCleanInstall fix it too.
The file to change is (default location)
The section that needs to be altered is
The default values are
Proper values would be
I honestly can't see putting the driver to sleep saving any significant amount of power.

C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\436.48\Win10_64\International\HDAudio\hda.inf
The section that needs to be altered is
[NVHDA_D3cold.AddReg]
The default values are
HKR,PowerSettings,ConservationIdleTime,1,04,00,00,0 ; 4 seconds for idle power management when on battery - enabled
HKR,PowerSettings,PerformanceIdleTime,1,04,00,00,00 ; 4 seconds for idle power management when on AC power - enabled
HKR,PowerSettings,IdlePowerState,1,03,00,00,00 ; go to D3 for idle power management
Proper values would be
