16Rig standalone while connected over USB to Macbook in Sleepmode

I have my 16Rig connected to a Macbook (over USB). Every now and then I would like to jam without " waking up’" my macbook. However, since the Macbook has some USB power management going on (I do not know the details), where I assume the power drops every now and then, the sound disappears and comes back in regular interval (I guess in sync with Macbook power save procedure).
The workaround is to unplug the usb, and then everything works fine.
Any other resolutions for this? I think the 16Rig cannot handle the USB power changes while macbook is asleep.
