Windows 10: Windows Audio Graph Isolation chewing up memory

This morning I ended the task when it got up to 350mb. I am forced to monitor and end the task when the memory used gets too high. I have checked audio properties and disabled enhancements. Drivers are current.


How to fix this so I have sufficient memory to use applications?

Audio Device Graph Isolation is eating ram in Windows 10

I much appreciate the input. However, I'm not having a sound, speaker, or

microphone problem. The Audio Device Graph Isolation process seems to chew up memory intermittently. This drives up the System process and then

the PC slows down or stutters while paging a document. If I briefly end the

Audio Device Graph Isolation task, the memory usage lowers and correspondingly the System process lowers too. Zig-Zag's suggestions reflect

audio that isn't working or that is improperly working. My audio is working just fine. The process that gives me that audio just seems to hog available memory.

Frankly, I've noted people discussing Audio Device Graph Isolation doing this

from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Although some discuss affects on CPU and Disk activity as well. However, I'm solely affected by large chunks of memory

being used.

Anyway, Zig-Zag suggested providing Hardware Ids and installed driver.

As of 10/05/2015, Windows 10 thinks I have the most current driver available.

Sound Device Name: IDT High Definition CODEC

Hardware IDS:

HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_111D&DEV_76E0&SUBSYS_103C1965&REV_1003

HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_111D&DEV_76E0&SUBSYS_103C1965

Current Sound Driver Version: 6.10.6491.0

PC: HP Envy Laptop upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1.

Thanks For the consideration.

Hello,

Windows Audio Device Graph Isolation is an official part of Windows and serves as the primary audio engine in Windows 10. It handles the audio enhancement effects provided by Windows. If you are using any enhancements, we suggest that you disable them and
see if the sounds stops. You may disable your enhancements by following the steps below:

• Right-click the Volume icon in the Taskbar.
• Click Sounds.
• From the Sound window, click the Playback tab, then select the device that you suspect is causing the issue.
