Monitor Screen does not go into standby, when "audials play" app runs.
This might be not a bug, but an intentional feature of the audials app.
In my case however this means 30W superfluous power consumption.
Normally, when I logout, pressing Windows key + L, the screen goes off after one minute, but running apps continue, until the computer goes to standby.
If I do not want this than I can prevent it with Microsoft Powertoys "Awake". (available for free in Microsoft Store) It can even adjust after wich time the computer is shut down, without changing the normal energy saving settings.
This will not work when audials runs.
So, for me, this "feature" is not useful, because I have better solution.
I looked for "settings" or so in audials, to change this, but could not find anything.
Of course I can disable the monitor by switching off power, but then, my monitor needs a lot of time to boot, longer than the computer itself.
Otherwise I like audials very much, it is the best Radio App, that I have tried so far!
I have one proposal: I use audials together with active speakers, which have no stereo balance adjustment. It would be nice if a balance adjustment could be implemented into the audials equalizer.
Edit:
I got a solution for the problem:
Install Nircmd.exe, available from www.nirsoft.net and put it into your path.
The command "nircmd monitor off" will switch the monitor off, even then when the audials app runs.
This solves the problem for me.
Edit2:
Unfortunately this is not a good solution.
When I switch the monitor off with the command "nircmd monitor off" while audials is running, then the monitor goes off, but power consumption of the PC rises by 10W. Apparently audials and nircmd are fighting, audials wants to switch the monitor on but nircmd switches it off.
This does not happen, when audials does not run.
So this is a solution, but a bad solution.

Review the settings within the "Audials Play" app to see if there are any options related to screen standby or power management. Some media playback apps have settings that prevent the screen from turning namaz times in lahore off while the app is running.

It appears that there might be a compatibility issue between the "audials play" app and your monitor's standby mode. When the app is running 툰코2, it might be preventing the monitor from entering standby mode properly.

Thanks for the answer.
I do not think so.
The problem happens on my desktop PC, which has an ASUS mainboard and a Ryzen 7 CPU with integrated graphics.
Everything is pretty vanilla.
Happens also on a Lenovo Ideapad laptop which is brandnew and has a Ryzen 5 CPU with integrated graphics..
(I have no other Windows computers to compare)All other apps work.
I use now "Mini Radio Player", available in Microsoft store instead. This keeps the PC alive, when it plays, but the monitor goes off normally as it should after some time.
