SoundKeeper is a lightweight Windows application designed to prevent Bluetooth audio devices from automatically entering standby mode due to inactivity. It ensures your Bluetooth speakers, headphones, or soundbars remain connected and active by playing imperceptible audio signals at regular intervals.
Key Features:
Imperceptible Audio Playback: SoundKeeper emits white noise at an extremely low volume, ensuring no audible disruption while maintaining the connection.
Smart Timing: Signals are sent every 55 seconds, just before most devices enter standby mode (commonly after 60 seconds of inactivity).
System Tray Integration: The application runs minimally in the system tray for easy access and control.
Toggle Functionality: Enable or disable the keep-alive feature with a single click.
Startup Option: Configure SoundKeeper to launch automatically at Windows startup for uninterrupted connectivity.
Lightweight Performance: The app uses minimal resources (~25MB RAM), making it ideal for background operation.
Audience & Benefit:
Ideal for users of Bluetooth audio devices, especially those experiencing frequent disconnections or standby mode activation (e.g., soundbars, wireless headphones). SoundKeeper ensures seamless connectivity, eliminating the need to manually reconnect devices and reducing interruptions in audio playback.
SoundKeeper can be installed via winget, making it easy to integrate into your system setup.

Keep your Bluetooth audio devices connected and active
SoundKeeper is a lightweight Windows application that prevents Bluetooth audio devices from automatically entering standby mode due to inactivity.
Many Bluetooth audio devices (soundbars, speakers, headphones) automatically disconnect or enter standby mode after ~60 seconds of silence. This is especially common with devices originally designed for TVs or with aggressive power-saving features. SoundKeeper solves this problem by playing imperceptible audio signals at regular intervals, keeping your device active and connected without any audible sound.
