Why does coreaudiod consume so much cpu?

I looked into activity monitor and found coreaudiod consuming 30-40% cpu cycles on my iBook. I have no songs, videos or alert sounds playing.
Can any one tell me what is happening? Why is coreaudiod bugging my cpu? How can i prevent it?
iMac G4 FP 17, iBook G4 14, iPod G3 Mac OS X (10.4.3) PC on XP, 2k & Linux

Edit: i tried to quit it then the trash empty sound came out
[i empty my trash like 30mins ago] - a coreaudiod hang?

  • Why is ArchLinux consuming so much RAM?

    I really don't know where to start with this thread.  Hoping a few of you veterans will be able to help pinpoint my memory consumption by ArchLinux.   I have read lots of places where ArchLinux runs with a very small memory footprint, but that hasn't been my experience, which is tragic becuase I really like ArchLinux the most of all the distros I've tried.
    I don't have anything that usual installed, I don't think.  If I go from a fresh boot up, my experience is that I end up using about 400MB out of the 768 MB total physical memory (eventually my system will slow to a crawl with about 95% of RAM used).  And I'm not really doing much.  A little Audacious, a little file mgmt with Thunar, a little web browsing...that's it really.  I expected some rogue application to be to blame but that doesn't seem to be the case.   It appears to be XFCE stuff mostly (and Thunar).  Here's what my system shows right now if I do
    $ps -aux

    I'm astounded that xfce-related items would consume so much memory.  Also, Tomboy and Firefox really eat up memory in a hurry.  Thunar, too.  Is this normal?   Doesn't seem like it should be... 
    Oh, fyi, the daemons loaded at startup are: 
    DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond alsa hplip cups hal)
    Any help would be appreciated here.  I can send over any specifics about my system or outputs of a command as needed for remote troubleshooting.  Thanks!

    If it never exceeds 95% , I don't see why there should be any slow downs.
    Does it swap ? Thats much more important to check than the memory usage (even if its obviously linked).
    If a lot of swap is used, then it's very bad indeed, and you're left with the two obvious choices :
    1) get more memory
    2) use less memory hungry apps
    Recently, I set up Ubuntu (which is more bloated than Arch, with a ton of unneeded crap by default) on a box with 256 MB.
    Just booting into an empty gnome session filled up all ram. Then trying to start OpenOffice made the system swap badly,
    and it was very slow.
    I upgraded it to 512 mb, and everything is fine now.
    So I find it strange that 768 mb can't handle arch + xfce.

  • Why does Magic Mouse use much more battery power than the keyboard?

    I have the Bluetooth versions of the keyboard and the Magic Mouse. I use the same rechargeable batteries in each. Yet the mouse has now come to the end of a THIRD set of AAs, while the keyboard still has 60% of its first set.
    Why? They are both constantly in use, so why does the Mouse drain batteries so much faster than the keyboard? Viz: the mouse about once a week (two, max), while at this rate, it will be another month or more before the keyboard drains.

    Actually I don't! I consider myself a 'power user' in that I will always use the keyboard first, and I learn keyboard shortcuts for nearly everything I do regularly.
    I would guess my use is 50:50 at worst?

  • Why does lion use so much memory?

    Why so much memory usage in Lion?  Have 8GB in Lion 10.7.2 (waiting on 7.3 until I can be assured it won't hose everything) and keep running out of memory without having anything but a browser open.  Currently do not have anything in background except a clipboard manager and am running Safari with 6 primarily text-based tabs--total memory usage:  2.63GB.  Comparable memory usage in Snow Leopard was around 900MB.  Have had memory climb up to all installed memory, though at that time I did have about twenty tabs open, some with Flash and othe multi-media, but, still, did not have comparable problems with Snow Leopard.  What gives?  Memory freeing and reclamation does not seem to be working efficiently either.  Have used Purge and FreeMemory to some benefit, but there seems to be something deeply wrong with the pool of inactive memory.  Also, either the kernal, or some other vital core piece of the OS, gets transferred out to Virtual Memory when the memory usage gets above 6GB...then machine crawls and I have to reboot.  Very unhappy, not sure I should have given up my Windows 7 machines for the Mac...they screamed speedily and had none of these problems.
    Very disappointed with so much about Lion.  Only reason I upgraded from Snow Leopard was to get the vaunted hardware gains when running VMWare Fusion 4.  Other aspects are very bad--lots of crashes, software incompatibilities, lots of beachballs, generally sluggish performance, will not start screensaver, will not sleep, will not shut down properly--have to use power button...goes on and on....then death-dealing problems with 10.7.3 update...all going to **** now that Steve Jobs has moved on to other duties?  Trying to convince myself it will all work out, but not sure...trying to devise a de-migration path back to Snow Leopard that will not take me a hundred hours to implement.

    Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the slowdown.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
    Select the CPU tab. Select All Processes from the popup menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Now select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Step 2
    Launch the Console application in the same way as above, and select “kernel.log” from the file list. Post the dozen or so most recent messages in the log – the text, please, not a screenshot. If there are repeats, please post only one example of each repeated message.

  • Why does %system take so much of my system resources half an hour into computer turned on.

    I recently inhereted an i7 8gb ram 256gb ssd retina 15" mbp from my father and I am trying to use it but it keeps malfunctioning.
    The error:
    Activity Monitor is set to launch at start-up so I kept track of the Activity of CPU, due to starting the troubleshooting of this error.
    What I found was that when computer starts the CPU would be idle 95% and when the computer would be on for half an hour the %System would start to take all of the remaining idle cpu. Regardless of what I was doing, wether just leaving the computer and not doing anything, or playing Starcraft 2. Either way the %System just destroys the CPU about half-an-hour into start-up of MBP.
    I have done a system restore (via turn comp on, hit command+r and do the online factory restore) twice.
    I have switched user accounts because I was thinking it was something I did on this account. Still happened.
    I have googled to see if anyone else has a problem like this but couldn't find an exact replica of the situation, just similar problems.
    I have done Software Update and still nothing.
    Side-note:
    Computer was not used for 4 months, and when I first tried to use it it would not turn on. With or without charger connected.
    I left it to charge over night and nothing. Packed the MBP away for a few days. Then tried again to turn it on via charging, nothing happened and about 5 minutes after trying for the first time (kept it plugging in without disconnecting) I noticed a minor cloud of smoking rising from the MBP out of the back, behind the monitor. I closed the monitor and the MBP turned on. Now when I move the MBP around I can hear "broken things" moving around in the MBP. Now the battery is shot and reads as being not present.
    Not sure if the side-note has anything to do with the main error but thought I would add that in. If anyone can help me out I will be forever grateful of them.
    Update: I read some other peoples "problems" on this forum and found that you can view "system processes" from the drop down menu in the top right corner of activity monitor. And kernal_task is taking 600% of CPU. And someone asked the original poster "did you launch anything at all that would affect the kernal_task" and he said no. Well Im in the same boat. I did system restore over-night. Went to log-in and noticed the usual... 30 seconds login with half a second delay with keystrokes. (mind you this is the first time using after computer did restore. All it did was sit idle, and had a user log-in).
    Also another thing I forgot to mention was that when I turn computer off and then turn it off (shut down. manual start-up) then the problem would reset. But if I did a "restart" then the computer would restart with the %system consuming all the resources as it did before.

  • What is powerd and why is it using so much cpu

    When I check the activity monitor, it is almost pegged out. Because of this other things run slowly. So, what is "powerd" and why is it all of a sudden using so CPU?

    It is something related to power management, but it shouldn't be running away like that.
    Select it in Activity Monitor and then Quit it using the "X in octagon" button. You should only need Quit, but try force quit if needed.
    It will restart, but hopefully it won't start running away. If it does, there is likely something else causing it to do that.

  • Why does Skype require so much info to reset my pw?

    Hello, I received an email for my older Skype account saying the pw was changed. I did not change it so I clicked the link to reset the pw where some basic info was requested. (Nothing shady). I was then to be sent a follow up email which seems completely legitimate but the list of required questions is extensive with info I might only have to guess at. Wondering why we need so many questions. As mentioned the site does not seem like a mirror site to me at all. Certificate checks out etc... I just find it odd I need soooo much info to reset my pw and that I already provided some normal basic info in the first email. The list of requested info is below: Full NameSkype NameEmailCountry If you used a credit card, please provide any two of the first six digits of the credit card number and any two of the last four digits of the credit card number.  If you used PayPal or Skrill, please provide the email address that is associated with your PayPal or Skrill account.  If you used another payment method, please specify which one you used. What email address did you provide when you registered? What is your date of birth (dd/mm/yy)? When did you create your Skype account (mm/yy)? Please provide five names that are in your Contacts list. What is the total cost of a recent order that you have made?  Please provide two phone numbers that you have recently called or contacted using Skype. What is your full billing address?What name (first and last) did you provide when you registered for your account?Which country did you select when you registered? Please describe your problem in the box below.

  • Why does TimeMachine use so much disk space?

    I'm curious about this... after many horrible days with a completely unstable Leopard install, I bit the bullet and did another clean install. I also got myself a new LaCie 2big disk array specifically for TimeMachine.
    Now, after yet another glorious Leopard OS hang/crash/cold reboot, TM is backing up some 50GB of data, 2 hours after the last backup, during which time at most a few e-mails, some html and gif data files, and maybe 5GB of copied music have changed.
    The first backup made by TM was on 08 December.
    Of my 450GB reserved for TM, I'll have about 150GB or so are still available after the current backup; meaning that *TimeMachine has used almost 300GB of disk space in 10 days* !
    I have 120GB of data on my disks, however TM is set up to not back up any OS files, and to also exclude the Applications folder, the VMWare virtual disks, and all Cache files.
    If I was to guess, I'd say TM is right now making a full backup of all the files, completely regardless of what it apparently has backed in its entirety up _several times_ before.
    If that's true and the best Apple and their TimeMachine can come up with, then I'm sorry but I'll have to conclude that TimeMachine is utterly worthless -- unless one never ever has an unexpected system restart (in Leopard?! Keep dreaming...) or untold terabytes of disk space.
    Is there a way I can find out what exactly has been and is being backed up, and when?
    Leopard is one really disappointing OS so far, that's for sure.

    Agreed. Time Machine is pretty, but it's a huge resource hog. Not only is it consuming drive space like it were an unlimited resource, but hourly backups (in which some files are being compressed, I think) eats away at CPU time. Unless you're zooming along on the latest and greatest machine while doing minimal work, you can definitely feel a performance lag when Time Machine is running.
    My recommendation is to shut it off. Then, periodically CTRL-click on the Time Machine icon and choose Back Up Now. Hopefully Apple will soon upgrade the program to have actual features, other than switching it on and switching it off. Hourly backups seem excessive, even for the novice user.

  • What is kernel_task? And why does it use so much memory?

    I have an iMac 27 inch late 2009 purchased new in July 2010. It has a 3.08 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor and 4 GB of Memory. I recently upgraded to Yosemite and just now was unable to save an Excel document to an external hard drive with plenty of space with the warning I did not have enough memory. I went to my activity monitor and indeed there is very little memory and at the top of the usages of memory is kernel_task?  I don't know what that is and why it requires so much system memory.
    Also, there is an installation I aborted for an app I realized I didnt need and for some reason something it out there still taking system memory and I get a message when I shut down that it can't install. How do I delete that.

    DNS (Domain Name Service) is the Internet "address book" of web sites. Whenever you go to a site such as http://apple.com your browser must make calls to the DNS server specified in your Network Settings to translate "apple.com" into Apple's IP (Internet Protocol) address of 17.178.96.59. Any time you access any Internet resource (such as sending or receiving email, playing multi-player games, using a browser, Using any app that accesses data on the Internet such as news, weather, stocks, etc) one or more DNS lookups must be made. Many web sites have content from several different sites. Each site referenced on the page must also be looked up. Each query is small (~100 bytes), but they can add up.

  • Why does this forum perform much slower than form forum in metalink?

    I feel strongly that this forum performs much slower than the form forum in metalink where there are even more active and more issues created there.
    I don't know why Oracle creates two form forum, which one is faster and another one is slower.
    What is the difference b/w them besides here is jsp pages and over there is plsql pages?

    Oracle certainly allows you to have users that do not have roles. Or users that don't have any system privileges. Or users that don't have any object privileges.
    If you want the query to return a row for every row in DBA_USERS, you would need to outer join all the other tables to DBA_USERS.

  • Why does reflow do so much guess work?

    I change one element and Reflow tries to keep everything laying out the same. I don't want this to happen! I want to edit one element and not have to go around and clean up the wreck that Reflow created. At the very least, it would be good to ask me what I want to do. Better yet, give me an option to disable it all together.
    For example, if I have an element that is float: right and I decide I don't like it floating right. When I choose float: none, the element is given a left margin to keep it in the very location you don't want it in anymore. This is just a simple example - it gets far worse when making similar revisions to parent elements as each child element could be effected! Also, if an element in the Elements panel is moved around, unexpected styles are applied for no good reason.
    Please tell me why Reflow wants me to do more work. This is just ludicrous.

    First of all i would to say thank you, i know how hard it is to develope a complex software in beloved javascript. I am a little sad, that its closed code, because i am a Js-Developer with great commitment and i love to absorb everything what has to do with Js, Node.js, Node-Webkit and stuff. And also im fascinated, which great stuff is possible with this "tools".
    I think the main problem is that youre trying to do a balancing act between wysiwyg devs an those who are hard code. In my opinion, reflow is a tool, which presumes a comparatively deep understanding of css and its behaviors.
    When i transport the design to code, first i try to get an clean DOM and a base CSS structure. But then, i always went to Firebug and do some finetune stuff. I dont know how many do it this way, but what i can say is that the result is alway the same:
    if i switch between positions or floats or displays, you get always an expectable behavior (ok, sometimes not, sometimes after a cup of coffee ). We could call the behavior "naturally"!
    Thats what i expected in a Software like Reflow. But when you also try to serve the wysiwyg-devs, it will be hard to get a clean behavior!!!
    By the way, what i expected for wysiwyg-devs is muse ?!?
    I would try to imitate the behavior of the Browser-Dev-Tabs, a system what works. i would also try to split the json structure into different pages or blocks to speed up the editor! Because, if you copy one container to another, much more complex container or page, its like to wait for hours (5-10 sec.).
    My actually Project has at the moment roundabout 920kb, but when im finished, it think it would have 2Mb - 4 Mb or more. From my last bigger js-project, i know that at a big json file is not always the best sollution, but i also dont know how your handle the json.
    I am looking very forward for the final product, actually its a little slow in some areas, but i LOVE this clean DOM, (okay, own classes and ids would be nice ^^) and i have a very great respect for your work, because i know how hard it is to create an editor!!!!
    Thanks for building reflow!!

  • Why does appserv.exe hog the CPU when all modules are stopped?

    Hi all,
    *** Problem summary ***
    Following a seemingly successful call to a session bean my Sun appserver appears to hog the machines CPU resources, but I do not know what it is doing.
    *** Problem detail ***
    I am running Sun Java System Application server 8.1 on windows xp with 1 gig of memory.
    I have happily deployed and can run a couple of sample EJB's, e.g. Converter from the J2EE tutorial and a modified/copied version that is basically a "helloworld" type session bean.
    I have now successfully built and deployed a more complex session bean that uses IBM Toolbox classes to invoke functions on an AS/400(iSeries).
    After this session bean is seemingly sucessfully invoked, the appserver seems to hog the CPU of my PC but it is not clear what it is doing.
    I see no obvious errors in the server.log file for the domain.
    I see not repetitive behaviour in the logs.
    Even when I stop all the modules in the app server, via the deploytool, the task manager still shows appsevr.exe using 60-75% of the CPU.
    ***Question ***
    How can I determine what the server is doing?
    * Note *
    My session bean requires some IBM jar files at run time. So, I have added the IBM jars to domain_dir/lib/ext, as per the Java Optional Package mechanism (http://docs.sun.com/source/819-0079/dgdeploy.html#wp69906). Perhaps this is confusing the server??
    I appreciate any and all advice and/or comment.
    Cheers,
    Simon.

    Same problem appears with Sun Java System Application Server 8.1 and 8.2.
    Does anyone knows about a solution ?
    I can't imagine that DB2 Toolbox JT400 JDBC Driver has never been used against SJSAS by SUN technicians...
    After a server stop all modules appears to be down, all session beans have been previously removed, but appserv.exe process do not shut down on Windows OS.
    I hope someone from SUN can show a suitable workaround soon, this problem is really noisy.
    Thank you in advance

  • Could someone explain why mds is using so much CPU?

    Could someone explain what mds is doing if my Mac has been indexed (don't see activity in Spotlight menu bar icon) & I haven't recently added a lot of files?
    I noticed my Mac was slowing down for a while so I looked in Activity Monitor & it says mds is running at 60% CPU. Isn't this something to do with Spotlight indexing?

    If you recently upgraded the OS or installed an application that includes a metadata parser for spotlight (such software generally comes in the form of a package instead of a single icon), it will force spotlight to reindex. Also, restoring from a backup does the same thing.
    Also, if you used mdutil to disable spotlight indexing on the volume and then reenable it, it will force a reindexing.

  • Why does Photos max out my CPU?

    Just "upgraded" to 10.10.3 on my MacBook Pro and converted to Photos.  Every time Photos is open, a couple of seconds later, the fan is running full-bore and only stops when I close Photos.  I looked at Activity Monitor, and it is clear Photos is crushing my CPU (see attached screen shot).  What's happening?  Why is Photos crushing my CPU?  Thanks!

    Let it run.
    See the replies at > Photo is causing such high CPU usage
    The 50+ GB Library on my i5 Mac took less than 2 hours to settle down. The same 50+ GB on my 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo took almost 3 hours.
