audiodg.exe using WAYYY too much CPU...

A few days ago, I was using my computer as usual, and I noticed that my laptop was running slower than it normally does. I tried to watch several YouTube videos and the video played very choppy and generally slow. I am writing this, this problem is solved, but at the opening of the resources on my laptop monitor, I noticed that 'audiodg.exe' used about 65% of my CPU! When I didn't have any big program running, so I immediately set to find out what it was, only to discover he had something to do with my audio. I have no idea why it uses so much CPU, before that I didn't even know it existed because I have not had any problems with him. I tried several other solutions to this and nothing helped. And so, here I post this question: "Why use so much CPU"audiodg.exe"on my laptop, and what I can do to stop it?

[Already solved the problem myself to restore the system to an earlier date]

  • keyacc32 using way too much CPU

    Whenever my laptop hp goes to sleep and I restart my CPU usage jumps to about 90%, and when I look in tast Manager, the file "keyacc32.exe" uses about 40% of the CPU. I do not use software keyserved when this happens, so I don't see why it should be so high.

    I guess I got some kind of malware, is it possible that I can fix or check this file which is reliable? I don't want to download a malware program that is also a malware, and none of my existing programs (Avast and Symantec) detected no problems.

    They have a free version you can download Malwarebytes (www.malwarebytes.com). That will eliminate this problem.

  • Audiodg.exe uses 99% processor

    Audiodg.exe uses 99% of a CPU, even if I'm not playing music, watch video, or do everything related to audio.

    Please don't tell me that disabling audio enhancements is the only solution. (For example: http://technicallyeasy.net/2009/03/fix-audiodgexe-high-cpu-usage/) Disabling application functionality useful because Windows has a problem is no solution.

    And by the way:

    1. No new software installed recently.
    2. No help from resolution of performance problems.
    3. Not solved by a clean boot.
    Did you visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware device and download the latest driver for combination of said hardware/OS and install them again?
     
    I suggest you only do this if you do not have.
     
    Let us know if it works.

  • How to stop sharing folder Windows Media Player executable because it uses too much CPU?

    How can I disable the network share (wmp.share) because he is constantly using too much CPU? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Hello
    • This happens while Windows running media player?
    • What were the changes made before the problem occurred?
    You can view these methods:
    Method 1:
    I recommend you perform the clean boot.

    Configuration of your system in a clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

    See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    Method 2:
    I suggest that you try to reset the media library. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too. Then, follow these steps:

    -Restart the PC.
    -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service . If its status is started , double-click the service, and then click stop .
    -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
    -In this folder, rename the folder Media Player as Old Media Player . If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
    -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. Check if the problem persists.

  • Svchost.exe using too much cpu!

    I have a Windows 2003 Media operating system, svchost.exe occupies almost all my cpu.  I tried to download the update, but I already have service pack 3.  Not sure why this problem arises now because it seems to be a problem that Microsoft fixed in 2007.  Help, please! I read that there is an agent 3 or something like that which solves the problem. What happens if anything do I need to download.  I will also try to see if the problem pops up in safe mode.  I'll look to see where the svchost is still running.

    Download and run the "Process Monitor" freeware.  It's a task manager on steroids.  Find the svchost that uses all CPUS and place your cursor over the name of "svchose.exe".  A pop-up window displays all the services covered by it.  Go to the Services (start-> Run-> 'services.msc') screen, check for these services, and by a stop or pause these services while monitoring your CPU usage.  You should find it pretty quickly.

  • Audiodg.exe using up a lot of CPU

    I'm proud of me having a system well settled, I removed the 99% of the useless bloatware that is loaded into MSconfig, I disabled all unnecessary update services who have the audacity to create a windows service, I removed things in the party Run from the Windows registry and I disabled the additional bloatware and updates that had been in the Task Scheduler.

    That leaves me with a constant of less than 1% CPU usage, of course, he jumps up and down from time to time when apps need but it is idling less than 1%, which was until recently.

    Now (I'm guessing after a windows update (thanks so much Microsoft), I this service totally useless, poorly written, called AudioDG.exe after reset is installed it is sitting there, NOTHING do, but consuming a constant 1% of my system resources, while I used my PC, he captured 5%, I tried to close anything that could use his) , Web sites such as YouTube etc, but again, it takes memory.

    Since 1982, I have always felt that Microsoft gives its programmers PC that is much too fast, they should work on the slowest PC so that they are encouraged to write effective and lean code

    Does anyone know a way I can stunt this fake contender to the throne, if offers a value zero for me, nothing I didn't have before.

    I don't know who wrote this sloppy code, but as Jeremy Clarkson, I think they should be removed at dawn and shooting, but I'll settle for a solution.

    BTW, I tried all other solutions here on when AudioDG made a Columbine on your CPU processes.

    There may be a fix for this. See one of them that applies.

  • Using too much CPU only when loading the network

    When FF works closely with the network (wired or wireless) card for access to the network, CPU utilization spikes in way more than 70% and he stayed there until the page loading process finishes web.
    After the upload is complete, the CPU usage remains somewhere between 5-10%.

    When I look at clips youtube 1080 p, where FF is duty next buffer part of this clip I watch, new CPU use peaks above 70% with the flash plugin and gives a total of a 100% of cpu for a few moments and use which make this clip to stop playing or to frame bad times, and ties.

    I have been activated in about: config webgl acceleration to activate the force and that much improve the initial problem, then I activated gfx.direct2D - activated force and also to improve the problem remaining.
    I also disable the safe_mode parameter file adobe flash config protectedmode = 0.

    I have to mention that the initial problem was way to bad ... 
    

    Now I get to point when I don't know what to do so that FF does not use much CPU loading pages.
    As you can see I use to publish this version of Nightly 64 bit (I think it's the 64-bit version...) which is much more better and I would like to read youtube 1080 p clip normally, after that I have wait a few moments to buffer, before starting to play.
    Version 32 bit FF won't let me watch YouTube without framing hurt when the clip is buffered.

    I was monitoring the Task Manager and all the processes listed... and there, I can't blame antivirus or firewall to the peaks of the processor. Also if I do the rest of the network traffic, as well as inside the network custom CPU even file copy flinch.

    Can someone help or give an opinion on what setting to do, so I can eliminate these spikes?

    Thanks in advance!

    Problem solved partially:

    I have observed that the CPU spikes occur not only while I use FF or mozilla nightly, but on all web browsers (Chrome, IE, Opera, etc) that I have used, while these browsers accessing the network.

    Uninstalling the firewall of the solution of the AV portion has helped a lot and by also disabling the bed in the firewall solution of W7, but for long term use, this isn't the right answer (for my at least). Without any firewall FF work or installed works like a charm, while the CPU usage is increased at a decent level of 50% max (total tasks and running services)!

    Anyway, as I said earlier, my pc without any firewall operation is not a good think to do, so I'll replace my computer with a faster, or I'm going to overclock it at a level that zapping INTERNET and navigation will not infringe too much on the performance of the system, or... I live whit it and I accept the limitations...

    Perhaps, in the development of the FF, programmers will keep in mind that not everyone on this planet has powerful processors - and... give a few options... to decrease the CPU at acceptable levels, event, even if they use the firewall solutions that violate on the CPU while FF is buffering of data across the network.

    I should also mention that Mozilla nightly (64-bit) and FF, are always better then IE - in my opinion - which is.

  • artifacts when you drag windows/windows Explorer by using too much cpu capacity

    Dragging a window (not just browser windows) leaves a trail of white on the screen.  Closing any window is slow; Obviously the window collapses down before disappearing.  Manager Windows taskbar shows explorer.exe using amany as capacity 50% of CPU when this happens.  This always happens.  It started when I installed IE8.

    What is happening on three different machines.  They're all running XP, one is a laptop computer to dual boot with Windows 7 as the other BONES; the problem is not there when it is started on Windows7, but are there in XP.  All machines run at 3 Mhz or faster, bicoeur have all 4 GB of ram or more; the smaller hard drive is 640 GB.  We have integrated graphics card Intel; We have a discreet ATI video card; We have a discreet NVidia video card.  They are all updated on the drivers.  All the MS applicable updates are installed.

    The problem disappears if I uninstall IE8; reappears when I reinstall.

    Thank you

    Wrily2

    Hello

    I have the latest drivers installed on all three machines.  I still have the problem.

    I went to visit a friend, installed IE8 on XP Pro machine and had the same problem.

    I visited another friend, verified that they already have IE8 on their two XP machines. No machine to had the problem!

    It took me two more days to spot the difference.  Machines to display the icons of countertop is not a problem, but if you uncheck the display icons on the desktop and have desktop background image (especially an image high resolution) in the stretch mode the problem surfaces.

    I found a solution to the problem.  I resized the image I used to match the resolution of the screen (three monitors, three sizes).  It seems to work even by hiding my icons and let the computer decide how best to run.

    I would like to hear if anyone can check out what I found.  I have explained the apparent conflict.

    Thank you

  • audiodg.exe uses extreme amounts of memory and is a memory leak

    In my version of Win7, I noticed that the audiodg.exe problem since the days of Vista as posted here http://blogs.msdn.com/larryosterman/archive/2007/01/31/what-is-audiodg-exe.aspx have not been resolved to the extent of the audiodg.exe is concerned. I am exceeding 980 mb after that a few hours of computer work on my system and the CPU (3 hearts) gets POUNDED by this process later. Once I have kill the audiodg.exe in my system task manager becomes very fast and catchy as it should be. However, I lose all sound.

    I have a card his Creative Labs X - Fi Xtreme with the latest drivers for Windows 7.

    Why has this file and its inability to free the memory that should not have been treated for Windows 7? allocation of 980 mb on a 4 GB system for this driver file is ridiculous! I don't like how many bells and whistles your soundcard uses, it is an astronomical amount of memory it consumes and refuses to release back to the system.

    ALT-tab between applications once this process is killed becomes as sensitive and night on my system.

    PLEASE FIX THIS FILE!

    I don't buy a preconfigured PC because they never are good imo. I have a Gigabyte mobo, 4 GB of memory Corsair (Dominator), graphics card Sapphire Radeon ATI 3870, Coolermaster HAF 932 case, 720 processor Phenom II AMD and Creative XFi Xtreme card sound w/Windows 7 drivers. All the drivers are always up-to-date for all. No overclocking (yet) done. Windows 7 Pro version version too.

    I'll take a look at this link, but IMO there is a serious issue with the code in the audiodg.exe since Vista process that has not yet been fixed. Some ppl of things on report items is:

    (1) system response extremely slow when alt-tabbing between applications because of the audiodg.exe process. (I've noticed this myself).
    (2) sound recording causes gaps in the audio file created in the same period of 11ms audiodg.exe takes to dump its worker threads. (I have not checked myself that I have no noise, but this gentleman here can attest to this fact here .)
    (3) use of the extremely exorbitant memory and memory leaks the audiodg.exe. (I've noticed myself and he checked with almost 1 GB of memory used on the file audiodg.exe)

    I think your link above can be a good solution for this problem of using memory thank you (unless of course your Creative card uses Dolby Digital Live) to find but other issues (1 and 2) should always be addressed to people who have noticed them on this forum and others. I wll contact creative labs and pin them down on resources from misuse or from the memory of this asap services!

    The related solution will not work if you are using Ventrilo (I have use a lot) so I'll also contact Creative as to what may be a problem with their services and how they interact with the file subsystem audiodg.exe.

    If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

    Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

    After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

    Thanks to all of you for the answer to my question on dllhost.exe. I don't know what I did or did not, but the dllhost.exe disappeared. I don't know that I've screwed something to make it work on my computer in the first place. I don't have a clue as to why he went with the exception of dumb luck on my part. He went just as all your responses and suggestions came in. I have not had the chance to try one of your ideas, but I'm not going to save them in case of dllhost.exe returns.
