The Windows Audio Device Graph Isolation process is consuming more than 10% of your CPU resources.
You're seeing a lot of CPU usage from Windows Audio Device Graph Isolation, which is unusual given your workload. It might be related to background processes or audio settings. Try disabling non-essential audio apps or adjusting your headphone quality settings further. If the issue persists, consider checking for background services or updating your drivers.
Being on a Discord call boosts the value by 4%, while leaving reduces it by the same percentage. Even without calls, a 5-6% change feels quite steep, and I don’t want to give up on Discord.
Same here, I've faced this problem for a while now. When I don't connect a headset through the front panel, it functions fine, but once I do, my audio starts lagging and even slows down video playback when using sound-producing apps. I've tried using DDU to remove Realtek audio drivers and switched back to Windows' default HD Audio drivers, but the issue persists. The Windows Audio Device Graph consumes about 12% CPU and 250MB RAM during these episodes. It doesn't seem to be a hardware problem. As mentioned earlier, my setup began acting up right after I plugged in headphones.
