The original solution didn't do almost anything for me - the CPU usage dropped slightly for a few hours then it got back to 5%.

AUDIOSWITCHER FOR MAC UPDATE

Maybe a restart could help but I lately did it for the recent macOS update and didn't do anything, so I doubt it. Stopped every single app that has access to the microphone as people suggested in other forums like StackOverflow - zero effect. However, now, with music or not, `coreaudiod` is firmly stuck at 5% CPU no matter what I do. Unplug the headphones - that are using a normal 3.5mm jack and _not_ USB - and re-plug them. There's some audio driver from immersedVR that came across from my time machine backup that I'd like to be rid of given I haven't had the app installed for 18 months.Īctually mine's back at 5% CPU at all times when idle, and 15% when playing music (iMac Pro so Intel CPU).

I am tempted to do a clean install at some point. either they're copied and the dates came across or they're hard links or something? What's also weird is the dates on those files.

What's weird is that if the Audio folder is not owned by _coreaudiod, I go back to seeing 12% CPU consumption permanently, yet all the files that populated the folder are owned by my user account. It had been reliably happening for the past couple of months at least that I noticed. This isn't something that was happening for one reboot.

You should now notice coreaudiod is not constantly high up in activity monitor! In fact, if not playing/recording audio it shouldn't even be running!

Verify whether or not that folder exists, and if not, open a terminal window and type: This causes coreaudiod to freak out somewhat and hang on 12-15% CPU consumption constantly once it starts (e.g., you play some sound, fire up zoom, etc. It is used to store audio coreaudiod preferences for your user account (somehow/something). This folder is apparently created on user creation on new users, but if your user account is 15 years old like mine (or maybe nowhere near that old, but ported from another machine), it may not be there. If this is the case, you may be missing the folderįrom your user account. Likely 12-15% because it is 100% of a single core. THis may impact battery life, performance, etc.

Essentially once it starts the daemon, it constantly uses 12-15% CPU. If you've ported your user profile from Mac to Mac over several years, as I have, you may have noticed coreaudiod using a heap of CPU when not playing audio.
