Re: Screen Saver cuts off Radio

Hmm, thanks. I actually did hit the KBs before asking, but apparently my choice of words wasn't definitive enough to hit this perfect response.

Guess my option is to find a clock screen saver that doesn't support sound, if I want to keep my clock. The screen saver on the other box is a fish tank, and yes, it supports sound too.

On both my 2005 MCE boxes, when I am listening to the radio, and the screen saver kicks in, it mutes the audio. Doesn't do that for My Music, the screen saver kicks in and the music keeps going. Is that normal for MCE 2005? Is there a fix? (my Vista machine doesn't do that) I realize I could just not have a screen saver and let the video power off, but I am using the screen saver as a clock. Could live without it, but seems like the radio should act like music.
