KeepSoundAwake is software that stops audio hardware from sleeping.
If you are a user of a recent Powerbook (running OS X 10.1.2 or higher), you may be familiar with a couple of issues that affect your machine. One of these problems relates to an OS design flaw that causes the audio hardware to "sleep" if there are no sounds being made for 30 seconds. This issue affects the machine regardless of whether or not it is plugged in. Thankfully, there is a free application that can provide a solution to this problem – KeepSoundAwake.
KeepSoundAwake is a software application that sits in the background and silently plays a sound every 20 seconds. This ensures that the audio hardware does not sleep and remains active, even when there is no sound being produced. The application is free to use and can be redistributed with source code. It is also completely harmless to run, even if you do not have a recent Powerbook or OS X 10.1.2.
The latest version of KeepSoundAwake comes with an important fix. The update resolves a memory leak problem that could only be observed when running the software with Jaguar. Overall, KeepSoundAwake is a simple and effective application that is a must-have for Powerbook users running OS X 10.1.2 or higher.
