According to the log audio device was disconnected. We correctly stopped playback, because no audio device was found. Please check some power management settings in Windows 11, it seems it disconnects audio devices in this situation.

Resolving as not fixable because of what Michal described, as well as the fact that I can reproduce the issue on VLC (indicating that it's not an issue with MediaMonkey at

Note that I am unable to replicate this issue..
For me MM5 continues playing even after the display is turned off (tested with WASAPI output)

Figured out that it was just an issue on my system. My USB audio device was plugged in to my monitor due to cables not being long enough, and the monitor was disabling its USB ports to save power when it's turned off. Changing to "no change required" and closing.
