Hi Leif,
I am using BA Broadcast at an Intel Dual Core with Windows XP SP3. I’m running two instances of breakaway broadcast with a m-audio audiphile 2496 and an on-board soundcard (soundmax). Just after launcing the instances my cpu usages is about 50%, after one week my cpu is at 90% and the music begins to pitch. If I open the taskmanager I see that every breakaway instance is using about 45% procent of the cpu (total = 90%).
I am using BBP 0.90.92
What can I do to keep my cpu usage low?
I already put both instance of BBP on Low CPU and disabled real-time priority.
Hi Wiele!
That absolutely seems like a bug in my code. I’ll try to reproduce and fix it, but I’m afraid it will almost 2 weeks until I’m back home in my development environment. Until then, I don’t have a good solution, other than trying the very latest version (.93) or an earlier version.

Hello Leif,
Do you have any news about this issue? Even with the latest version (93) we still have this problem. We didn’t had this problem with version 0.90.77, but we really like the stereo enhancer (and the improved Twente-preset).
Thanks in advanced!
I’m afraid I haven’t been able to reproduce the problem at all, and I haven’t heard reports from anyone else, so I’m really not sure what it could be.
When you see the high CPU usage, can you check in task manager and see which process is using all the cpu? Does the cpu usage increase in the breakaway instances for both instances, or just one?
If you make a copy of breakawaybroadcast.exe and name it something else (like breakaway2.exe), and start your second instance from this executable, then you will be able to see which is which in the task manager.
I’m interested to know which one it is, and if that’s consistent, because that would indicate that it’s (somehow) related to the sound card driver.
My KS audio I/O code did change between 0.90.77 and 0.90.9x so it’s not impossible that this has something to do with it. If so, one workaround might be to use Wave instead of KS, until I can find the real reason.

I got the same problem since version 0.91.80 >= Latest version .93.
Only it start after 3 days with a high CPU-usage, and the stream-sound is crackling.After a restart eveything is fine for 3 days, then it start again.
I try the follow things with no succes.- enable/disable the Stereo Enhancer. (It was available since version >.80)
- Change the input DS/KS/Live
- Change BufferSize
- Maximum Quality to a lower level

I try to reload the encoder-pluging with no succes.
But if i try to go to the I/O Configuration, BBP close immediately and i had to start it again.My latest thing to do is going back to Version .77 but then i don`t have the sweet/wonderfull Stereo Enhancer.
Same problem and no solution to fix this, after a couple of days the cpu raises from 17% to 27%…. tried every setting.. if i go to off air to bbp input settings and return, or restart bbp, cpu returns to normal (12 to 17% average) :-[ .
BBP ASIO 0.90.95, esi julia with latest drivers, Core2Duo, win xp sp3
