note gregor42 <i>Anybody got any programs that will cause a wake-up event when a microphone picks up certain noises?</i> <p>If it's only <i>certain</i> noises - then doesn't that imply that the system is already running a routine to tell the difference between a target noise & everything else? <p>Wouldn't this imply a need for out-of-phase hardware rather than simply a program? <p>Or maybe - just maybe - you could have different configurations for your system - that would power down all of the processes (like WiFi connectivity, power to the screen, power to the hard drive(s), etc.) <i>except</i> the audio processing and bring them all back up when you hear that target noise.. <p>It's not quite the same - though IIRC most hardware with a 'standby' mode still uses up to 60% of the power it draws when it's 'on' - so it could technically fall into that range... <!-- Node text goes above.
