CPU over 100%

abbie · Post by **abbie** » Mon Apr 09, 2007 10:24 am

Hello,

When i'm using Live 6 and I change te BPM of the stage sometimes my CPU meter jumps very high! Sometimes 500% or even higher!

I've turned all applications off, but it doesn't help!

My CPU meter is usseally around 40%..

I'm using a Intel Core Duo T2300 @ 1.66 GHZ and my soundscard is M-Audio Firewire Audiophile.

How can this happen?

increase audio latency?
maybe to 512 or higher?

I had the exact same problem with the exact same card

changing the audio buffer size was not helping

taking that audio card to trash and buying a motu traveller did solve the problem

I was not getting glitch btw when the cpu was hitting 500 or something like that

do you ?

do you ear audio glitches in your output. My problem was just weird cpu spikes but they were not affecting my sets playback. Like it was jus the meter going crazy and not the system.

No, I use xp pro, media center is evil

I hear a strange beep and i hear no music anymore.. I have to restart the program and it works normal (for a while).

So anybody knows what to do?

Have you switched on dual cpu support?

Hi,

I had the same problem with a rme fireface.. I don't think that comes from the audio card. I stopped the network and the internal audio card of my Asus laptop and for the moment I don't have this problem any more.. I need to test again to determine if it's the internal soundcard or the network...

it is impossible. 100% is the maximum possible amount of any percentage.

Sorry but ableton sometimes show cpu hits over 100%. It prolly just means it's overloaded.

Abbie, maybe if you post your windows process and your computer specs we'll be able to help you better.

btw did you tweak your windows for better audio performances ?

maybe you can refer to musicxp.net for that, it could be helpful.
