I do not have external speakers, but a monitor with speakers, if there is no activity with the mouse, the speakers are not heard and while the script does work, the monitor is not active, it is on, but inactive.  I am using KDE and I do not know which screensaver is working, the screen blanks and the monitor goes to sleep.  How can I wake up the screen/monitor so I can hear the alarm playing.  I remember trying

In KDE the settings for the monitor blanking is located in System Settings under
Hardware, Power Management, Energy Savings.
