I'm not sure, Dave, what difference it will make to describe my system if
it's just one of those things that happen with audiodg. But I have an AMD
dual-core 32-bit processor, 3 Gigs memory, 200 GB hard drive at 5400 RPM.
It's a laptop, Toshiba and it didn't make all the strange screeching, jumbled
and static noises, cutting out and everthing until lately. The audiodg
process gets as high as 300,000 bytes and takes up as much as 80% of my
memory. And it's annoying as heck.
I scoured the internet, Microsoft support too, but found nothing up till I
landed here. The Microsoft support said "Sorry Charlie, you must go to the
manufacturer for help." The manufacturer, Toshiba, is telling people it's not
a hardware problem so that's that. And unless I misread what has been said
here, the best thing to do is not to play music at all.
It's worst when I try to do videos on youtube, but then It's not always
happening. But doing a restart has not made a difference it seems. It may
bring down the memory in bytes but the percentage is still way up there and
the sound is usually not better.
Got any ideas? I've seen people talk about "leaks" but I don't know what
that means.
Thanks though for replying.....

Perhaps you should back up a bit, and explain your problem a bit more..
What program are you using to play music?
System specs, etc.
I just opened Windows Media Player and started to play a list of mp3 files.
My CPU usage went up as high as 90 %, but the music sounds just fine.
Using Process Explorer, I saw that wmplayer was using 30-40%, and
searchindexer was using 40-50%.
After the indexer stopped, the CPU usage dropped to less than 20%, with
wmplayer using less than 1 %.
audiodg uses less than 1 %.

So there is no alternative to having terrible sound on my machine because
Audiodg hogs the memory? If I want to listen to my music I have to do it
outside Windows? I have Vista Home Premium and I want my money back! Show
me
to the door please!

The audiodg proces is indeed a system proces, which is used sound
processing on your machine. More about the proces can be read in this

The solution to the CPU problem has been to me to disable the service
in computer management at reboot, so it wouldn't start at system bootup.
Then, when I'm back in windows, I just re-enable it. At that point in
time, it won't eat your CPU anymore.
I have no exact explanation to why it eats that much cpu, but I expect
it to be a driver incompatibility. Porbably the Realtek AC97 (in my
case) drivers aren't reacting the way audiodg expects them to do.
