High CPU usage in specific scenarios after a sound plays

[adrian17]

Summary

Hi,
This started by hearing the CPU fan slightly speeding up for a short while after receiving a Discord (in Chrome, not app) notification sound on my PC.
I've noticed that each time the notification plays after a period of inactivity, the program's CPU usage jumps to >10% (more than a full core on Ryzen 5600X) and stays there for the next 10-15s, after which it drops back to idle.

The other thing I observed is that if I close and restart EarTrumpet, then the problem doesn't seem to appear, which might might indicate that it only happens with more than several days' uptime. At the same time, this makes me unable to reproduce on-demand.

Let me know if you need any extra information or logs and how to get them.

Steps to reproduce

Unsure :(

EarTrumpet version

2.3.0.0

Are you by any chance using SoundSwitch?

(sorry for late response, way away due to holidays)

No, I'm not using SoundSwitch or anything remotely related.

Ah ok. Next time this happens, open C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Taskmgr.exe and dump the EarTrumpet.exe process. Then grab a copy of everything in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319, zip both together, and mail it to [email protected]. Thanks! (We can provide a OneDrive folder for upload via email.)
