I actually have this! It was driving me crazy WHY this happened. I do not have a DELL monitor but some AOC Gaming widescreen thing but to make it more weirder: it only occurs when I am using my laptop not my desktop. Both systems are connected using HDMI to the monitor. Only when I am working on my laptop and I have audio over my HDMI cable using my speakers on my monitor and I walk away my monitor blanks and the sounds stops for 5 seconds...

  Protip: You can just buy ferrite beads and stick them on cables. They aren't even super expensive. Don't put them all the way to one end but a bit back. Use one on both ends if need be.

That's interesting. Been getting the same behavior from my Gigabyte M32U monitor from things like disconnecting a different monitor's HDMI cable to my Switch, even though the Gigabyte is only connected to my PC. This seems like the most obvious explanation.

We had that in the office around 2015-16 with one certain combo of chair model + screen model, but I don't remember the specifics. You actually had to let yourself fall into the chair though, it did not trigger when sitting down or standing up.

> When people stand or sit on gas lift chairs, they can generate an EMI spike which is picked up on the video cables, causing a loss of sync. What is the mechanism here?

  Just taking a guess, rubber gasket on metal cylinder are maybe like a poorly optimized metal brush/rings on rubber belt as in a Van de Graaff generator, used for generating static charges and discharge can be used for generating xrays.

  So this is what those $800 dollar shielded hdmi cables are for.

Recently I bought a chair and my Bluetooth dongle stops working sometimes when I stand up. Perhaps something like this happend for me..., but my new chair doesn't have elevating mechanism.
