It sure does, but I can't reproduce it on my P4 based system which is
normally very picky about denormals - CPU load is around 2.5% all the
time. Also checked all parts of the code that could produce denormals:
the HP processing filters, the k-meter and c-meter DSP code, and the
volume controls. All have denormal protection.
* Is the CPU load you mention the one measured by Jack, or some other ? Awesome, however cpu usage is ~12% on my system
when playing silence and
drops to ~2% with some audio going through.
smells like a denormals issue. * Try to find out which controls affect the CPU load.
E.g. what happens
when you have a signal but the volume is set to off etc.
As I said, without any input connected or only streaming silence to input 1, the cpu %
rises by ~10%.
To summarize:
- no input connected: cpu rise 10%
- silence on input 1: cpu rise 10%
- audio (not silence) on input 1: no cpu rise
- silence on 1 ch of input 1, audio on the other channel: cpu rise by ~5%, same if you
reverse the
input channel
other inputs are not affected by this. They can be left un-connected or streamed with
silence cpu %
doesn't change.
With the patch I sent, you can leave input 1 un-connected cpu % stays at ~2% but if you
stream
silence to it cpu % rises again to ~10%
With the modifs suggested by Hermann, problem is gone.
