Mac Mini M1 disconnecting from USB-C sound card when going to sleep....

Hi, every time my computer goes to sleep or locks the screen it disconnects from my SSL2+ sound card (connected via USB) and annoying because its bus powered it means I have to unplug the cable and put it back in again. Does anybody have a way I can get it to not disconnect?

Mac mini, macOS 11.2

Stop Mac sleeping while playing music Until I 'up'graded to Ventura with my new 2022 M2 Mac music just went on playing when the display went to sleep. Now the music stops when display closes. There are postings about this issue going back 15 years but none seem to have solved the problem. Is it something to do with the relationship between Display closing delay and Sleep delay settings?
