Oculus audio stream and PC sleep

Hello...  lately, I've noticed my PC will not automatically enter sleep mode.  Running powercfg -requests gives me:

[DRIVER] Oculus VR Headset (USB\VID_2833&PID_0330&MI_00\8&27c5953f&0&0000)
An audio stream is currently in use.

The confusing thing is that Oculus Home is NOT running, nor are any of the Oculus services.  I shut those down using OTT when I'm not using the headset.  If I manually select sleep via the start menu (Windows 10 64 bit), it goes into sleep mode just fine.  However, it won't do it automatically.  I've also confirmed my power settings are correct (sleep after 1 hour)  Any thoughts on what's causing this and how I deal with it so I can leverage sleep mode automatically?  

Thank in advance!

Same issue. Hopefully someone from Oculus can respond. My electricity bill keeps going up because my PC can no longer go to sleep and if it does, Oculus wakes it up. I've turned off the service, turned off audio mirroring, and tried everything else.

Looks like this problem is yet to be solved, as still it is causing trouble that PC can't sleep as the VR headset audiostream keeps it awake.
