Hi-there Karl. Either one of the following approaches should fix the problem.
Approach #1:
1. Navigate to the related directory:
cd "/mnt/c/pulse/default config files/"
2. Retry the same command with sudo:
sudo sed "s/; exit-idle-time = 20/; exit-idle-time = -1/" -i "/mnt/c/pulse/default config files/daemon.conf"
Approach #2:
1. Open the related file in notepad:
c:\pulse\default config files\daemon.conf
2. Manually change the following text from:
exit-idle-time = 20
3. Manually change the previous text to:
exit-idle-time = -1
4. Save the file
