I haven't seen any complaints of any kind about the utility.  It is completely independent of the screen-reader and just sends some sort of inaudible signal to the soundcard to keep it active.  I don't expect it to affect NVDA in any way.

I don't know if the JAWS solution can be turnned off or uninstalled or whatever should be possible for disabling it.  But you should be able to use Silenzio with no ill effects on JAWS either.

Does this prevent NVDA from using Audio ducking?

Use a small utility called Silenzio.  Read about it in this article.
https://mosen.org/soundsfrustrating/

Move by heading to find the beginning of the discussion.  The heading says
"The Realtek sound problem"

A link is given to go to the page to download the program.  It is the name
of the utility, "Silenzio."

Does anyone know if you can set NVDA to stop this? Jaws just put out a fix
for it by stopping the sounds card from sleeping when not using and someone
on a chat group is having this issue with NVDA.
Personally I don’t find it all that much of a problem but some do.  If you
use the new setting in Jaws, you can not use Audio ducking, which I do find
very useful.
