Re: Digi 003+ is making my computer really hot! Kernal_task is using all my CPU
I have been having the same problem. I've seen some threads on this but haven't found anything useful for fixing the problem.
Here is what I'm running and more detail in case anyone things it will help:
Mavericks 10.9.3
MBP 15inch (mid 2010) 2.53GHz i5 8gb RAM
003 driver 11.1.2
Running a 003 Rack
Pro tools 11.1.3
As soon as the 003 becomes the active sound playback device, a process called kernel_task rises to and stays at around 70-100% CPU and the fan on my laptop starts running very fast. Adding or removing my external firewire 800 hard drives from the chain has no effect, and I don’t have the issue when using the computer’s built in output for Pro Tools. With Pro Tools not running and just playing back audio from itunes/spotify, changing the sample rate of the 003 causes strange behavior with kernel_task cpu percentage. @96k it only uses 50-53%, @88.2k 55-60%, @48k 80-84%, and @ 44.1k 70-100%.
Has anyone on Mavericks had this problem and found a workaround/fix?
