This program is a simple workaround for the Silent Stream Bug that affects HDMI audio outputs on certain systems.
It works by continuously playing a silent 1-second WAV file in a loop, preventing your audio output from going into sleep mode and thus avoiding the bug.
- Windows Only: This program is designed to work on Windows systems only.
- Icon Tray Visibility: The program runs in the background and is only visible in the icon tray.
- Icon Color Indication: When the program is running, the icon in the tray will have a green background. When it's stopped, the icon will have a red background.
The executables are available in a zipped file on the release page. Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions are available. The zipped file is compressed with 7zip. To use the program, just download the zipped file, extract it, and run the executable. No installation is necessary.
To make this program run at startup, follow these steps:
- Press
Windows+R
to open the "Run" box. - Type
shell:startup
and then press Enter. This will open a File Explorer window right to the "Startup" folder. - Create a shortcut to the Silent Stream Bug Fixer executable file inside the "Startup" folder.
