This edit box specifies how long NVDA keeps the audio device awake after speech ends.

This allows NVDA to avoid certain speech glitches like dropped parts of words.

This can happen due to audio devices (especially Bluetooth and wireless devices) entering standby mode.

Lower values may allow audio to be cut-off more often, as a device may enter standby mode too soon, causing the start of the following speech to be clipped.

Setting the value too high may cause the battery of the sound output device to discharge faster, as it stays active for longer while no sound is being sent.
