How to stop Shokz headphones triggering standby mode in Linux
-
I was having a problem with my Shokz OpenComm2 headphones that when turning them on, Linux Mint would immediately prompt for shutdown/suspend.
Here is how I fixed it. I am using Shokz OpenComm2 with the Loop 120 USB A adapter.
- Get the Vendor ID and Product ID.
With the device turned on, run
lsusb. Look for the following:Bus 003 Device 007: ID 3511:2ef2 Shokz Loop120 by Shokz - Create a file at
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-shokz-fix.ruleswith the following contents. You will need to usesudoto create this file.Replace the idVendor and idProduct with the corresponding values from# Rule to prevent Shokz headphones from triggering standby/sleep SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="3511", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2ef2", DRIVER=="usbhid", ATTR{authorized}="0"lsusbif necessary - Reload the udev rules
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
Unplug and plug-in the adapter to reapply the rules to the active device.
