Thanks for the tip. On my old pc, the sound sometimes stuttered when playing movies, mp3s, and even some system sounds. This appears to have helped so far.
The same issue, this tip helped
Thanks Paul. Good advice and research.
…/Many Thanks
Your a lifesaver. I was having the same problem with music playback and it was really starting to irritate! This has totally helped. Thanks
Freakin sweet
My audiodg usage went from 15% to 2% after doing this! Thanks a million.
Wonderful tip. Solved my problem. Now ma machine runs smoothly.
Absolutely spot on. I was ready to tear my hair out when my new dual core 3G RAM AMD Athlon laptop could not play music let alone movies due to this serious memory leak. Problem solved, thanks a million.
this setting was also creating extreme load in lag in gaming.ie, everquest2.
memory and cpu usage were at 48% and 87% respectivly. this is being run on the new windows 7 btw . it seems to have fixed the worst of it thanks…
So the new version of Windows has a similar issue. Good to know.
i had the same problem, but doing what he sais didn’t help me a bit….my audiodg.exe consumes 20% ore more of cpu,so i found out that if you have a driver ….like me…realtek and you go to default format…and u change the quality lower the problem dissepires….if you do what he sais its not recomanded, because if it works your sound will be very week(quality)
great thing dude!!!! it works also on windows 7 rtm, now my computer’s a lot more solid i have a dual core cpu and when playing music with foobar used 50% of the cpus and after the fix 0% like it has to be!
