Silent Stream Bug Fixer

Simple program that "fix" the silent stream bug.

Overview

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.

Features

• 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.

Installation

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.
