CPU "consumption" when muted

edited December 2014 in Suggestions
When Boom is enabled and my MacBook Pro (2012) is muted, coreaudiod and Boom consistently combine to consume 5+% of a CPU core.

When Boom is disabled (via the Boom Volume On/Off control -- so still installed), CPU consumption drops to 0%.

My computer is muted 90+% of the time. It'd be ideal for me if Boom could realize when the system was muted and essentially auto enable / disable itself so it didn't single handedly cost me an hour of battery life each day.

Thanks,

  • Hi Reinharden,

    We would like to inform you that when Boom is running, initially coreaudiod processes up-to 4-5% of CPU, Gradually it decreases to 1.8 - 2%.
    Do you use any other OS? If so, could you please install Boom in other OS and check whether you get same issue?
    Also please note that, Boom when active does consume around 4-5% of CPU, it is also system dependent. In different system (ex: MBP, MacBook Air, iMac) CPU consumption varies.
    We would like to inform you that in idle state Boom will not consume more than 1% of CPU; again in different system (ex: MBP, MacBook Air, iMac) CPU consumption varies.
    Could you please quit and launch Boom and check whether you get same issue?
    Also could you please let us know the time duration since the boot while the coreaudiod process increase?
