    Go to the Realtek HD Audio Manager.

    There's a battery icon on the bottom of the panel,

    Click on it, and this will pop up. Set the option so that it will sleep only on battery to preserve battery life. Set the time to maximum, 30 seconds.

    Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a fix for the battery case.

    I experienced the speaker going to sleep after some time and sounds muffled when using iTunes for a few seconds before blasting out.
