think of it as a valve(not an electron tube, but an actual water valve) that remains open because the audio chip sends it a signal to stay open and let audio through. when that signal is not being sent(like when shutting down your computer) the valve closes and halts the flow of water(audio). it's just an automatic noise reducer, but unfortunately it can also affect audio signal...
