> Using tools like TLP will help [...] but it also might come with its own set of problems<p>I recently figured out TLP was the source of a couple of irritating issues for me on an XPS 9370:<p>- Bluetooth audio continually cutting in and out, only when wireless module on AC "non power saving mode"!?!<p>- DC bias on the audio out jack, on both modes, worse on power saving. (forcing a power amp into self protect mode).<p>Both resolved by disabling TLP entirely. I knew TLP was not a set and forget tool, but it's easy to forget when on some machines it's fine (and necessary, especially older laptops). But then changing to a new machine where it causes lots of issues. It was a good reminder that these tools need to be used with care because they often exploit unusual hardware modes and can have strange side effects.
