Voicemeeter UI tray & CPU usage
Posted: Mon Oct 02, 2023 7:44 pm
There is a thread about high CPU usage already viewtopic.php?t=1800 , but I don't think it refers to below.
I'm experiencing CPU usage that is not particularly high, but unneccessary.
Voicemeeter is always rendering the UI of its control panel even if the window is hidden. You can check this by suspending the UI event loop thread of voicemeter8x64.exe - audio will still work as normal, CPU usage will go down, but of course the UI won't open.
I suggest vb-audio developers to destroy the window instead of making it not visible when voicemeeter is 'in tray'. Of course this means that UI will open slightly slower, but I think that's an acceptable trade for less constant CPU usage
