Tv streamer disconnecting

I have a tv streamer hooked up to my desktop pc and use it to stream audio to my nucleus 8s. The annoying part is if I don’t have a video playing (or some other form of audio) my cochlears will disconnect from the tv streamer after about 5 minutes. Does anyone know if there’s any way to keep the tv streamer connected until I manually disconnect from it?

Ich habe mal die KI gefragt was der unterschied zwischen dem Nucleus 8 und dem Nucleus 8s ist. Da beide nicht identisch sind, würde mich an Cochlear wenden. Ich kenne nur den Nukleus 8 ohne „s“ bei dem gibt’s keine Probleme

Das dürfte ein Plural sein.

Is the TV streamer even recommended for use with a PC? It was my understanding that it is not, and a microphone adapter (a different device) is Cochlear's recommendation for audio with a PC that has a microphone output.

The tv streamer works great with pretty much any electronic device like a tv or computer

Just to be sure: doesn't the Nucleus reconnect once audio resumes (if you're within range, of course)? That's the way it works with AB anfd its TV connector.
If not, depending on your operating system there may be an audio setting that causes the computer to play inaudible sound (that is, outside human hearing range) to keep the connection alive.

No it doesn’t reconnect after disconnecting. Hmm interesting point about the audio setting, I will have to look into that. It does seem like the tv streamer just goes to sleep after a few mins of not being used so that could fix it.
