audiodg.exe (kill/remove it?)

[Kmuland]

Hi guys..

Im having really hard days getting used to windows7 in this computer that does not allow to install xp/2003.

I play a simple mp3 with my tiny player (xmplay) and immediately the audiodg.exe appears in the task monitor.. so now I have two processes active to play audio:

- The audio player running (1% cpu usage)
- Audiodg.exe that consume between 4-9%!!!!

Is there any hack/tweak to avoid this audiodg.exe? Any modded audiodg.exe without cpu activity or something that does not consume resources?.

I really miss my xp/2003. I dont understand these stupid things to downgrade performance of computers ;(

How about this?

I tested already.

Seems that Ill have to get used to this NT6 family crap.
Even to play a single mp3 Ill need more cpu than XP ;(

It seems that i am now - 8 years later - confronted with this crap:

To get more out of my new motherboard's Realtek 1150 codec i decided to install the WDM driver 2.74 (same as on XP) to replace 7's standard driver (because i noticed that on XP music sounds significantly better...)

Now this is what then started to happen sporadically playing music (winamp 2.91): audiodg.exe is turnig to consume up to 15% of CPU for about of minute

Afterwards it calms down again: the attack has consumpted 50 CPU-seconds and is behaving normal maybe for the next half hour:

Although imo no memory leak at all - 15 MB seem to be quite regular:

I'm going to decide this weekend if i can accept that crappy behaviour...
