Windows 8, PC.

I found solutions for when computer wakes up itself because of special network packets. This can be turned off in the device manager -> network devices -> power managment. The same goes for mouse, keyboard..

However, when I put my computer to sleep and forget to turn off the speakers first (I usually notice them by the buzzing sound (not a hi-fi)) and I turn them off after computer is asleep, it immediately wakes him up.

Sound devices has no "power managment" tab in device manager, so I wonder how to fix this problem. Is there no solution other than not forgetting to turn the speakers off before the computer? I have a compulsive need to solve this in a more technical way.

additional information: Speakers are plugged via earphone plug / audio jack.

What I suspect is happening is due to Windows favor of little pop-ups and notifications that seem to take precedence over all else.

When you plug in your headphones or speakers to you headphone jack, I bet that windows give you a little pop up saying something like "a device was plugged into the headphone jack". And probably does the same when you unplug.

So if your computer goes to sleep when it thinks something is plugged in, and then you unplug it (or in this case turn it off), it gives a popup saying that it detected a change in the headphone jack, and hence, wakes the computer up to tell you.

Pointless right? To handle this, you can change the sleep level, as suggested int he comments above, or you could disable the notifications, which IMO would be nicer because they won't bug you anymore.
