Hi everyone.
We are considering to buy the BreakawayOne HD solution. We just have one question though. Are you guys dealing with ram cluttering ? We would like to not have to restart the pc every week because the audio processing is filling up the ram.
We are on a new core i7 pc with 16GB DDR4 Ram.
Hope you can answer our question.
Best regards
Jess PedersenCan you be more detailed or specific? What are you seeing? How much RAM does your computer have? 32 or 64 bit OS? How much ram are you seeing being used by BaOne? How old/new is your computer? These kind of details are going to be super helpful to help troubleshoot.
We have not bought it yet. We would like to know if it is a thing that the program clutter the ram before we buy. If people needs to restart every week or every month ?
We have to choose between BreakawayOne and StereoTool and ST have that problem with cluttering sometimes.
The OS is Windoss 10 Pro 64 bit

Easy FMI have a very similar setup and BaOne is so very light on resources. With BaOne and Station Playlist, I'm seeing roughly 2-3% of CPU use. Ram is also very minimal. I don't have the number in mind at the moment but it's very small. I've never seen it build up RAM or CPU. I believe low resources is one of the biggest hallmarks of BaOne. Stability and amazing sound is what you'll get.
Thank you. We also use stationplaylist on the same machine that shall run breakaway. So Iit sounds good possible 😉
I see that you're using a Pro edition of Windows 10 so you can disable automatic updates, do this. I use Server 2016 and it's very stable. I only reboot if I have to for some reason. I think every month or two I manually do windows updates but I only do it because I chose to. Ultimately, with your computer, this should work great for months and months.
Dear Jess,
Ram cluttering is not a term I am familiar with. There are two types of memory allocation issues that I know of:
– Memory Fragmentation. Imagine filling up the available RAM with small allocations, and then deallocating half of them at random. Even though you then have free memory, you wouldn't be able to allocate a big block because there would not be enough contiguous space free — only lots of smaller pieces.
– Memory Leaks. Continuously allocating things and then forgetting to deallocate them, meaning more and more wasted memory.I've ran BaOne FM+HD for months and months on a system with 2 GB ram and have never noticed any memory leaks over time. Memory fragmentation is not an issue as the large allocations happen on startup, not as it's running. The dynamic allocations/deallocations as it's running are all pretty small.
That said, even if there were memory leaks in BaOne, you wouldn't have to restart the whole machine to get rid of them — you'd only have to restart BaOne. Everything a process has allocated goes away when the process is closed.
16 gigabytes of RAM is a huge amount of overkill. No way will RAM be an issue. 🙂
Best regards,
Leif ClaessonHi,
I thought i would inject a comment here if by ram cluttering ASR and ASLR and and isolated NTKernels on a per process (Such as a requirement for PCI compliance) breakaway one/9xe/etc will NOT work if u are using EMET i do have a rule u can use to still maintain compliances in a PCI certified network but i don't know if this is what you mean but i do know Linux accomplishes this using FUCKWIT (Forcefully Unmap Complete Kernel With Interrupt Trampolines) and taking data from dev random and spraying it all over ram witch is why i guessed that the question applys to this
Sorry if this isn't what you mean but it is what came to mindSalrus
