Abstract
In embodiments of system timeout reset based on media detection, an electronic device includes an interface connection that couples the electronic device to a peripheral. A power manager application is implemented to timeout the interface connection if user interaction with the electronic device is not detected for a timeout duration. A media data monitor is implemented to detect audio data in an audio channel of the interface connection, and initiate a reset of the timeout duration responsive to the audio data being detected. Video can continue to be rendered by the peripheral if the audio data is detected to initiate the reset of the timeout duration.
