7.1 Surround Sound application consumes A LOT of CPU
Hey there!
Some time ago, I bought a brand new Razer Kraken X from a certified razer distributor. I activated the 7.1 Surround Sound application using the code on the paper, and I immediately got struck by an insane CPU usage. This issue has been causing FPS drops in games and much more. Is there a workaround? I have to restart the audio service every single time I start windows, also click on the 7.1 Surround Sound application and then close it again. I manage to stabilize the CPU usage for around an hour or so, and then it spikes again. I'm in need of urgent assistance, as this is very very very bothering, and it has been affecting my work and game experience.
PC Specs, though they are pretty much irrelevant, since this is just a surround sound software.
I5-2500K
R9 290X
24 RAM
Windows version & build number:
Windows 10
Version: 21H2 (OS Build 19044.2364)

Update. Please - someone reply.
Bump.
Running windows 11 (Version 10.0.22621 Build 22621) and the Razer 7.1 surround application causes the Windows Audio Device Graph Isolation to run at a high CPU load causing an increase in cpu temperature. I am running a 5900x with a 360 AIO and the idle temp stays in the low 50Cs. Uninstalling the Razer 7.1 drops it back down to 30C. The &.1 actually works quite well. Any guidance on keeping the CPU usage down would be greatly appreciated.
