T420s: Conexant Audio Message Service consumes a lot of CPU time in Windows 8

Hi,
I have here two models of T420s running Windows 7 and Windows 8.
The Windows 7  model is quiet and the Service Needs no cpu time during idle.
The Windows 8 model is noisy (the fan is Spinning) and the Conexant Audio Message Service (Version 1.6.0.0) is consuming 30% of cpu during idle.
Any suggestions?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Pretty sure you can just disable the service. I did on my W520 with no ill effects.
W520: i7-2720QM, Q2000M at 1080/688/1376, 21GB RAM, 500GB + 750GB HDD, FHD screen
X61T: L7500, 3GB RAM, 500GB HDD, XGA screen, Ultrabase
Y3P: 5Y70, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, QHD+ screen

  • EA1 - consumes a lot of CPU

    New 2.1.0.62 EA1 consumes a lot of CPU on my Macbook with MacOS 10.6.1.
    After I have opened two database connections (Oracle) everything seems to be fine (CPU usage 2% and below), but after I have executed some sql statements I will never get below 7% of CPU usage. It gets even worse the longer you work with SQL Developer (> 25 %).
    The statements I have executed did not have many rows (< 100) and do not take long (< 1 s).
    Regards,
    Sven

    Hi Barry,
    sorry haven't seen that you have edited this thread. Yes, for me it is still the case. I just updated to 2.1 final release and am testing. I am using SQL developer for 40 minutes now and it is consuming 24-25% of the CPU(s). ... after 2 hours of work it is at 35-36%.
    Is there any tool that I can use to track this issue down or any information that I can send you? The suggested "topthreads" does not work here :-(

  • Advanced queue taking a lot of CPU time

    hi ,
    My application has a workflow which dequeues messages from an advanced queue.The message is simple text message. But i am facing CPU time problems. when the workflow( one of the steps is to dequeue) runs it uses 100% of a particular CPU.
    can somebody throw some light on the things to implement to reduce CPU time and why i am having this problem.
    also , i am using the TOP command on UNIX to trace the process.Does it give us the correct CPU usage measure?suggest some more specific measures , if any.
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi,
    I came across tip for speeding up OpenLdap a while ago, I have never tested it as I have never found the need to but here it is :-
    Stop the OpenLdap service
    Open slapd.conf which is under SharedServices\openLDAP\
    Locate
    *# Indices to maintain*
    index objectClass eq
    index cn,ou,cssIdentity,member,cssRoleDN,cssProductCode,cssVersion eq
    index cssDisplayNameDefault eq,sub
    and add
    index uniqueMember eq
    Save/Close
    run slapindex.exe -f c:\<location to slapd.conf>\slapd.conf
    Start up OpenLdap service again.
    Though this doesn't explain the reason why you are suddenly getting performance issues, do you have a large amount of native users/groups ?
    If you are on 9.3.1 have you tried Sync Native Directory from Shared Services.

  • [Solved] embedded videos in firefox take a lot of CPU time

    Playing embeded videos in Firefox take a lot of CPU time. Actually my old computer is not able to play these videos correctly if they are in HD. The problem appears with flash videos (not so surprising, flash sucks...) but also with html5 videos (there is an option in youtube to turn that on). However if I succeed to have the direct URL, these videos play perfecrtlky fine in mplayer using not more than 10-20% of CPU time. Is there a solution to that? Is there any possibility to use an external player to play HTML5 videos in firefox? If anybody knows, Why this problem, are the mozilla folk aware of this problem? (Note that I posted a thread a long time ago for this problem but concerning flash only)
    Last edited by olive (2012-04-27 20:33:59)

    There's not much you can do to make HTML5 videos as fast as Xv, see http://swfdec.freedesktop.org/wiki/FAQ. They are slow for the same basic reason as Flash... the video overlay cannot be used because the standard allows for controls and CSS to be rendered on top of the video.
    As for redirecting to an external player... this is not as easy as it could be. If the videos appeared in <embed> tags or <object> tags, one could use Mozplugger, Media Player Connectivity and other programs, but I don't think one has been written to handle the <video> tag. An upcoming update to firefox will make it use gstreamer, however. If this still results in slow playback, it will at least make it easier to use an external player. I imagine you would have to patch firefox to make it use a port on the localhost as the video sink instead of the screen. Then you would run gst-launch to receive that RTP stream.

  • Thread.sleep takes a lot of CPU time!

    Hi,
    I have the run method like this:
    public void run()
    while(true)
    //some set of operations
    Thread.sleep(5*1000*60);
    The above code's performance was measured under stress test. . The sleep operation seems to take a lot of CPU time
    though ideally sleep is like a no-operation mode, meaning since no operation
    is done when a thread sleeps, it should not use any/minimal CPU time.
    But it seems to take over 30% of CPU time!
    Any ideas on why such a weird thing's happening?
    In fact, in one more similar method also, sleep is taking similar CPU
    time.

    A sleeping thread uses no CPU. Try the following, both with and without the for loop. If you see a constant high CPU usage, even when the thread is sleeping, it's probably that the CPU usage is measured as an average over the last second or several seconds, so when the tasks you're performing are intense and take a significant fraction of the time you're sleeping, the average CPU usage doesn't go down that much.
    public class Sleeper {
        public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
            while(true) {
                for (int ix = 0; ix < 100000000; ix++) {
                    int jx = ix * 2;
                    ix = --jx;
                Thread.sleep(5 * 1000* 60);
    }

  • Syslogd daemon take lot of cpu time arounf 50% of cpu utilization.

    syslogd daemon problem it take lot of cpu time arounf 50% of cpu utilization. How do i solve this issue without reboot.

    You can try then a "/etc/init.d/syslog stop" and "/etc/init.d/syslog start"
    This is only a solution which perhaps will solve your load problem. But obviously
    you should investigate why you have this strange behavior.

  • SLAPD.EXE taking a lot of CPU Time

    Hi all,
    I'm getting this stange issue on our Dev Boxes, when trying to launch a business rule, a process called slapd.exe (Open Ldap) takes up to 50 / 60 % of CPU time and it takes about 1 to 2 min for the prompts on the business rules to appear.

  • Dock uses lots of CPU time

    I find Dock uses ~140% CPU time sometimes, I can't see a cause for it to do so. It usually stops of its own accord after a random amount of time. Killing it doesn't help, launchd restarts it and it goes back to using lots of CPU.
    I have parallels install and I have the version which has the fix (6.0.12106) and I have also tried the work around (no luck obviously).

    Never mind, I figured it out by myself. On this particular machine I had a 3rd party plug-in installed (SRS iWow 1.1.8). Removing that brought the CPU usage down to 0.1%. Usually I don't install 3rd party add-ons. This would seem to be a good policy.

  • ITunes uses lots of CPU time when idle

    When iTunes is just sitting there with my Music Library displayed, Activity Monitor shows it's using a pretty consistent 22-25% of CPU time. I look at Activity Monitor once in a while and I've never noticed this before. I don't know if it started when I upgraded to iTunes 7.4.2 or not. Other Macs I have access to use close to 0%. I have repaired permissions, checked the hard drive, and waved the other dead chickens over it without any change. Obviously this soaks up a lot of machine resources. Any clues or ideas would be welcome.

  • Dhcpcd consumes a lot of CPU when wireless switch is off

    If I turn my hardware wireless switch off, dhcpcd goes crazy and uses a CPU core completely. Checking with htop, the command being run is:
    dhcpcd -4qL -t 30 wlp13s0
    where wlp13s0 is my wireless interface. I'm using netctl-auto to connect to the network.
    It goes back to normal as soon as I turn the switch back on.
    The network configuration under /etc/netctl to which it was connected before I turned the switch off is
    Description='Automatically generated profile by wifi-menu'
    Interface=wlp13s0
    Connection=wireless
    Security=wpa
    ESSID="network"
    IP=dhcp
    Key="password"
    Is there anything I can do so that dhcpcd won't try to use all my CPU in such cases?
    EDIT (2014.05.28):
    I looked in the following wiki pages, but couldn't find anything about this issue:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Br … leshooting
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dhcpcd
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … figuration
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Netctl
    I couldn't find anything about dhcpcd and cpu usage in the forums, and searching the web didn't provide any relevant results. Which is bad, since anatolik found this:
    https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/39512
    which I didn't.

    ondoho wrote:Have you tried connecting to the network manually, then pressing the switch?
    If I turn the switch on after turning it off, I must connect manually using netctl (that is, netctl-auto doesn't connect automatically in this case). After doing that, turning the switch back off does not cause the problem. Which is weird, since the process is still there, like before
    I also noticed that it is no longer possible to use netctl-auto after turning the switch off, as it no longer see any configuration (running `netctl-auto list` as root returns nothing, while before it returned 2 items).
    ondoho wrote:how did you install and activate wireless
    I basically followed this wiki page:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … f_profiles
    I first generated the profiles with wifi-menu and by copying /etc/netctl/examples/ethernet-dhcp, and then activated netctl-auto using
    # systemctl enable [email protected]
    # systemctl enable [email protected]

    Yes, it looks very similar.  It is said there that the problem should be fixed since 2014-04-01 11:48:57, but I just checked for updates with pacman and I already have the most recent version (6.3.2).  I will see if I can add any relevant information to that page.
    I did notice that my wireless interface disappears when I turn the switch off (ifconfig doesn't show it anymore), and it only reappears when I reconnect manually. I'm not sure if that is expected, since the commit that should have solved the problem says:
    On a read error, remove the FD from eloop. This shouldn't happen really

  • Swing consumes a lot of cpu?

    I developed model server-client application. Up to 100 or more clients can manipulate small random access file simultaneously locally or remotely. When I run the program in testing mode without gui, with a lot of logging to many files and to standard output too, with a lot of threads madly trying to corrupt my file, I can hardly see task manager reacting. When I test my application with gui (server has small console) and client has rather complicated ui, even if i do not do anything, task manager shows cpu usage 98%. If i am doing something and gui must repaint (very little), it's painfull to watch. The frame or/and its children are repainting in patches intersecting each other and cpu usage is just hovering. What does it do? I have xp pro, powerful comp. and a lot of memory. I have to work in jdk 1.3 at this moment.
    What I supposed to do? Why does it stink so badly?
    Will be glad to any hints.

    Thank you. SwingWorker is my long time favorite. I am using it since its first release. I also would recommend it to anybody.
    I ran a profile on the program with -Xprof flag.
    Honestly, I am not good at interpreting it. If anybody happens to see anything of value, please point out.

  • Kernel_task consumes a lot of CPU

    Hello!
    I have MacBook Pro 5,5 with Mac OS 10.6.8.
    It always slows down during charging and periodically when it works on a battery.
    I have analyzed threads with Shark and it shows that AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement::~AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement eats ~80% of CPU (total 200%).
    When I took system to sleep mode then waked it up, all works fine for some time (10-20 seconds), but then it again slows down.
    Resetting SCM doesn't help.
    How could I solve this problem?

    Fixing kernel_task overloding your computer!!!
    Use this at your own risk. It worked for me.
    Basic Procedure:
    1- Click in the apple logo on the upleft corner, select "About This Mac".
    2- Click in "More Info".
    3- Click in "System Report".
    4- Take note of "Model Identifier".
    5- Create a new folder called "Recovery_Kernel_Task".
    6- Select Macintosh HD/System/Library/Extensions/IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext
    7- Click the mouse right button at that file and select "Show Package Contents"
    8- Open the folder Contents/Resources.
    9- Look for the Model Identifier in step 4.
    10- Move the file to the folder you've created, if you need to restore the file.
    11- Check the folder in step 8 has 49 files instead of 50 (original files).
    12- Restart the computer and be happy!

  • Firefox consumes a lot of CPU resources after some time

    Hi,
    I've upgraded from Firefox 3.5.16 to Firefox 5.0 on Linux i386 with 512 MB RAM. Everything is working fine until after "some time" (don't know the exact time period) the CPU load increases to 100%, my average system load explodes and the system is swapping memory wildly. This suddenly happens, even if Firefox is in the background while I'm working on different things. So it does not belong to any memory-hungry stuff like Flash pages or JavaScript sites.
    I don't think the problem is caused by my extensions (adblock, noscript, multifox, tabloc) or plugins (mplayer/Flash) either.
    I think it is the Javascript Garbage Collector. I could tweak its cycle time in about:config, but this would just be work around the problem.
    Note that I usually have many open (app) tabs that extensively use Javascript and AJAX.
    I really like the new Firefox features, but I haven't expected that "5.0" stands for 5.0 average system load. Sorry couldn't resist that remark ;D

    I updated to Firefox Aurora this morning. Problems seem to be solved. Thank you!
