dude2010 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 After a restart, my.. well this goes for both my 2009 and 2011, with clean installs. They sound really good, but then after a few hours soundstage collapses, lack on mousebottonresponse becomes worse, remote controlling from my macbook pro becomes almost impossible, or it is impossible after a day of running. Then I need to restart, in order to make it sound good again. This really can't be meant to do so!?? Link to comment
wgscott Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 It shouldn't be that way. Open Activity Monitor and try to find what is sucking down the CPU. Link to comment
Freann Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Are you using upsampling? Sounds like you are running out of RAM.

dude2010 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 I have been running izotope (or what ever) audiodriver, instead of apple coreaudio. Selectable in Audirvarna settings. My files are typical 16 bit 44.1Khz - but the software shows 32 or 24 bit 44.1 I tried to use the setting limit to 24bit instead of 32, and all of it helped a lot, but I'm not sure it is entirely gone. I have selected no upsampling in audirvanas settings. NOTHING seems to be hitting on the CPU!! I'm using 20% of my RAM and CPU is 2%... Link to comment
dude2010 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Now kernel_task uses up 456 mb - with NO programs running (after running for 5 hours straight) WindowServer uses up 55 mb com.apple.IconservicesAgent uses up 40 mb Soo.. kernel_task might be the problem?? How do I address that? Link to comment
wgscott Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 It is normal (mine is 444 mb). The OS is a program too. Link to comment
wgscott Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Do you run into this problem with audirvava only? Link to comment
dude2010 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 It seems to be a combination between using audirvana and soundcloud in safari - back and forth, and the soundstage is collapsed - and a reboot is the only way. OR if it has just been minding it's own business for a handfull of hours. So no. Link to comment
