So i have this sound when my screen goes off to power save (X minute after inactivity in power management) and every 10 sec it makes this reconnecting sound. How do i fix this? thanks
journalctl -f log this every time it makes the sound:
kde.plasmashell: requesting unexisting screen available rect -1

Hi,
Can you send us the information from this command, it will gather information regarding the hardware of your system and drivers so we have an idea of it.
inxi -Fxxc0z | eos-sendlog
Just so I have an idea of the audio setup, I will assume you may have blutooth headphones or headphones connected to the PC and the sound is coming through these or a speaker? and the monitors have speakers in them?
Thanks for the reply!

yea, I have a pair of wired speaker as my main setup, and my monitor don’t have any speaker. It only makes the sound when monitor is turned off tho
In the sound settings is the graphics card set to off?
For me I have an entry for inactive cards from where I switched the Navi 21/23 to off. Mostly as my monitors have speakers and don’t want them accidentally playing audio via HDMI or DP. Your monitors don’t have speakers but I wondered if the GPU had anything to do with it.
I tried turning off GPU audio controller in sound settings, but the problem still persist. I guess it’s something to do with power management or monitor maybe?
Hello everyone,
I do indeed have the same problem.
It must have something to do with the graphics card because it started when I replaced my Nvidia card with an AMD RX 6600.
But it is difficult to diagnose because it only occurs when I am not interacting with the system
Welcome here 
Issue is similar but not the same and unsolved.
First thing is to make sure configs are cleaned of:
https://discovery.endeavouros.com/audio/pipewire/2021/09/
rm -R ~/.config/pulse ~/.local/state/wireplumber ~/.local/state/pipewire
this will reset audiosystem user setup and recreate on next login.
Not sure what this would have to do with the display standby mode… as this is basically the hardware of the display doing this on its own.
In case Desktop settings of the used DE have some defaults set you can disable to see if it is the culprit.
If you talk about general system sleep mode it is a different story.
There it could be power save options in the way.
In both cases it would need more info about the hardware and used setup, Desktop Environment and setup done may you enable TLP and have power-profiles-daemon still running…
Thanks for the feedback.
No, I am not talking about system sleep. I have disabled it anyway because of kernel crashes in sleep mode.
In this case it is only about the standby of the monitor.
I’ll try the above…
I fixed it by reinstalling my whole EOS hehe… i’m too clueless tinkering with the driver
and in case you have to make sure to remove everything you setup for the old GPU … And it is a known issue that you can have issues with replacing hardware like the GPU in cases… seems some hardware related detected configs could be left over in the system… or as io mentioned configs and settings you added manually or with tools…
None of the files above exist here.
none?
this 2 should exist always: ~/.config/pulse ~/.local/state/wireplumber
haha 
would say it’s easier to mut the speakers in a first step.
content of “state”:
“pulse” was empty … after playing around with some settings, one file was created.
what shows:
inxi -Aaz ?
and systemctl --user status pipewire-pulse
or:
systemctl --user status wireplumber

I identified the sounds as the ones played when connceting / disconnecting devices.
I enabled text notifications for this event as well. Maybe it helps to see which device is considered to be disconnected …
