Audiodg.exe consuming full 100% cpu
My computer started freezing on its own. I cannot find the reason behind that. But something happened to my system. I checked in Task Manager and found that the audiodg.exe is consuming maximum process. The cpu usage is almost 100% percent. When I terminate that the system went back to normal, but after a few minutes it starts again. It is quiet irritating. I just installed a tool bar and this started happening. Is this a virus. I am using AVG and it did not found anything.

It is a windows file. It is weird to find that a audio application can use full system resource. To fix the problem right click on the small speaker icon in system tray. You can find properties box there. Click on that and go to Playback. Remove the checkmark of device which is selected. Go to Enhancement and then uncheck everything inside. Do not leave anything working. Click on OK and then see. I think updating drivers will be quiet helpful in many ways to deal with the problem.

It is a essential audio component. But some virus or spyware can enter your system and cause issue. I thin this is a virus problem. Virus are capable of infecting internal system files and then spreading to the entire system. You must scan your system in safe mode and then check whether it is proper or not. I had seen a list of associated virus which are similar to this file and they affect the system. I do not think there is some appropriate way to get rid of it. If you are antivirus is capable it will scan and clean your system.

The audiodg proces is indeed a system process, which is used sound processing on your machine. More about the process can be read in this blog post. 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. Probably the Realtek AC97 (in my case) drivers aren't reacting the way audiodg expects them to do.

Due to recent updates I was having the same problem described here. Interesting thing is it was nothing to do with audiodg.exe at all. Whether it was what came from Microsoft or not something changed my power saver options. There was low power going to the CPU. Check you settings! This may be simpler than you realized!
