A while back I wrote a note here about Windows sleep, and noted that
it did NOT sleep when Foobar 2000 was running playing songs. There
were a few replies to the effect that it is not supposed to sleep
then.

Well I forgot to add one important piece of information. Foobar 2000,
under FILE -> Preferences -> Buffering has an option to "Prevent hard
disk sleep while playing." This option is NOT checked on my system.
SInce Foobar has a limited buffer, I think it logical to expect that
it will stop playing once the buffer is emptied and it needs to read
the disk. At that point, I would expect Windows to go to sleep after
the set time (5 minutes in my case). Hours later.... still playing,
Windows NOT in sleep mode.

It appears to me that Foobar 2000 is not talking to Win-10 on this
matter. Any thoughts?

By chance, are you confusing hard disk sleep with Windows sleep? Those
are two different things.

I found that Windows won't go to sleep if your media player is playing
video or audio.

I normally use Media Player Classic (Portable) and set it to run in
repeat mode forever in the background.
