- While music is playing, (Elisa radio or Rhythmbox)
- I lock the screen,
- turn off the monitor,
but automatically turn off the sound (no music playback). I would like the music, radio to continue playing. Where, how should it be set so that it does not mute the sound?
System Settings > Power Management > Advanced Power Settings > Media Playback
: “Pause media players when suspending”
Is what you are looking for?
I honestly find the option verbage a tad … off … suspending would be definition mean all media playback is halted.
Thx, but no work. Disable “Pause media players when suspending” and no sound.
When I turn off the monitor, there is no sound! (i use nvidia card)
What kind of speakers do you use? Internal, external, monitor built-in?

Just tested here with smplayer. Audio didn’t miss a beat when locking and unlocking the session, so it could be player-specific. If this is streaming content that might also make a difference.
it’s an anomaly or a bug 
every time manjaro start KDE
- on screen and suspension by hand
- on stop media players when suspended
- off stop media players when suspended
and there is sound after the screen is locked, after turning off the monitor

Since Plasma 6 im experience something similar, when i power off my Monitor, manually with my hardware switch.
My sound shows a mute icon for few seconds after the Monitor is powered on again.
This behavior wasn’t there with Plasma 5, (atleast not visual).
But that said, i never try to run Sound when i power off my Monitor,
so im not sure if i look at the same situation.
I saw this on my PC with a nvidia card and also on my AMD Laptop (both with KDE).
