Windows 11 only get audio when login to system
Hello, So our deployment is unique but system does not sleep or hibernate that has been disabled. but the following post is what we are seeing review. Thank you again. My company produces audio DSP...
This is a known behavior in Windows 11 where audio is muted or disabled when no user is logged in. Unlike Windows 10, Windows 11 ties audio session activation more strictly to the user session.
To work around it, try running your DSP service as "Local System" with "Allow service to interact with desktop" enabled, or use audio device activation APIs that don’t require an active user session. There’s no official registry fix yet, but these methods can help maintain audio output without user login.
