  1. Windows Audio Device Graph Isolation taking up 15~25% of my cpu


    I'm using a razer kraken tournament edition and a lot of fixes were to go to the "enhancements" tab and disable all enhancements. the thing is, there is no "enhancements" tab for me and I don't know how I can fix this.

    does anyone know how to fix this?

    Windows Audio Device Graph Isolation HIGH CPU USAGE

    My PC has a Realtek audio driver from Dell manufacturer with Waves maxx audio driver. Windows Audio Device Graph Isolation is using about 25% CPU usage. Enhancements tab is not appearing on playback properties. I want to disable enhancements to reduce
    high CPU usage.

    I don't want to install Microsoft's High Definition Audio Device for enhancements tab to appear. Is there any way to reduce high CPU usage while having the Realtek audio driver?

    1. Go to control panel and open device manager. Or press Windows + R key at same time to open Run and type devmgmt.msc.
    2. Click on “Sound, video and game controllers” in device manager.
    3. Right click on a sound card and then click on properties.
    4. Click on the Driver tab.
    5. Click on the Uninstall Driver button.

    Windows Audio Device Graph Isolation taking up 15~25% of my cpu

    Windows Audio Device Graph Isolation using high CPU

    I already tried
    asking
    this in the HP Forum.

    After the October update (version 1809) installed, this process has been using all of my CPU:

    Windows Audio Device Graph Isolation

    %winDir%\System32\audiodg.exe

    I've taken several
    troubleshooting
    steps:


    I tried running the HP
    Audio Check
    one click fix (version 1.0.1.8). It found "One or more audio service isn't running" and fixed them. However, the next time I restart, the process is using 100% of my CPU again. Same thing with the Windows Playing Audio troubleshooter.

    There is a
    Hotfix
    for previous versions of Windows, but not Windows 10. There are no conflicts in Device Manager. A YouTube video

    () suggests removing all audio drivers and restarting, but that didn't help either.

    Is there anything else I can try?

    Thanks,

    Shane.
