Popping speakers instead of expected audio

If your speakers pop (#NotAllSpeakers do, like my 1990s Target ones that unfortunately fell to their death.) like my Logitech that spent more money on excessive bass than buffering input power or whatever, make sure it doesn't sleep (D3) in Windows 11.
By setting the right \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class key descendant's PerformanceIdleTime value to data 00 00 00 00, and perhaps value IdlePowerState as well, preventing power toggles and cut audio. Credit to TenForums.

Start regedit, paste the key, Ctrl+F, paste value, find next value, confirm DriverDesc description in parent key, and modify PowerSettings data, or save and execute this audio_pop_fix.reg:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e96c-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0005\PowerSettings]
"ConservationIdleTime"=hex:04,00,00,00
"IdlePowerState"=hex:00,00,00,00
"PerformanceIdleTime"=hex:00,00,00,00
