Prevents System Sleep

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

When running, even when not “active”, Google Assistant prevents the system from sleeping.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Run Google Assistant
After any amount of time, with Google Assistant minimized to tray, open Powershell and run powercfg.exe -requests

You will likely see:

An audio stream is currently in use

Quit Google Assistant
Open Powershell and run powercfg.exe -requests

You’ll see that the audio stream is no longer in use:

Expected behavior

The audio stream should only be active while Google Assistant is shown. If using a “Listen for ‘Hey Google’” type of feature (which I don’t see exists?), it should not prevent computer from sleeping.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: Win 10 Build 20H2
Version 1.0.0-rc.2

Additional context

I searched to see if there were any issues or PRs related to this and didn’t see any. If this has been fixed, please let me know and I’ll build from source and report back.

Notes

None of the settings in the current build seem to affect the output of powercfg.exe -requests. I tried disabling all the audio/mic options and ran into the same issues.

I’ve also tried using variations of powercfg -REQUESTSOVERRIDE DRIVER "USB\VID_046D&PID_082D&MI_02\8&82b3bcc&0&0002" SYSTEM DISPLAY AWAYMODE as a workaround, but that hasn’t seem to have helped.

It worked, like after 30 seconds, it was not showing in powercfg. Thanks a lot!
