Is the sender going to 'sleep' while it is sending?  If so, set the power option to only shut the monitor down, not fully sleep.

no, the sender is not in sleep mode, it happen after 1 or 2 minutes, then pause, then start to play itself .....

I'm sure this needs to be a separate thread, but I once purchased Acoustic Bridge but I can't find it in my downloads.

AB is a challenge for me to test.  Do you still see the issue if you install the trial of Multiplicity (the sound sending component is AB-ish so):

Just note when installing MP, what you make the Primary and Secondary has no bearing on what is the sender and receiver for audio - they are separate things - ie, the Primary (the controller PC) can be the receiver and the Secondary (the controlled) can be the sender.

You can start the trial of MP with this link:

IMPORTANT: You would uninstall AB on both PC, reboot, prior.
