One of my monitors has the weirdest and most irritating hardware bugs....
I use it's speakers, usually to put a video while I'm doing something else. My OS let's me send just the video's audio to those speakers, and I send whatever else I'm doing to my main speakers.
If audio to that monitor stops, even if there is still video data going to it, the audio circuitry turns off. If I then start audio again, it takes ages for the audio to engage.
If I pause a video, when I resume, I miss several lines of dialog.
The work around for this... I play a very long audio track of silence in the background on those speakers to keep them awake.

@hellomiakoda four minutes thirty three seconds. an entirely silent performance by John Cage.
I was making a joke referencing those 10 hours videos of different music and things on YouTube, but then I looked and actually a few people posted this as real videos already.
