I actually tried to fix this once, halfheartedly though. If I recall correctly, it's not a busy wait but rather the graphical meters get updated every time a new volume value is available. Which is too often obviously. Strangely enough, just saving the current value and only updating the graphical meters when some minimum amount of time had passed, while indeed reducing the CPU load, also made the volume display update very infrequently, no matter how small I set the minimum wait time. I didn't try to understand why this was though.
So long story short: my fix was totally broken. So while this might seem like a trivial fix and might well be, it's at least a bit more complicated than it first looks. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/830677 Title: Volume meters take too much CPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pavucontrol/+bug/830677/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
