Thank you.

I would run a virus scan

Or right click that task and press 'Open file location' and see where this file resides.

It's not a virus. It is windows 10's integrated software DSP. Open the start menu and type "control panel" now navigate to "sound" and then select your speaker (usually has a green check marker on it). Then select settings and go to the "enhancements tab", select disable all enhancements and click ok. Then restart the pc. This should help.

Alright, that's a good location. Surely it's not a virus.

 

From my limited research (basically I read this page: https://softwarekeep.com/help-center/how-to-fix-windows-audio-device-graph-isolation-high-cpu-usage), it seem like this task is Windows' way for other devices (like a soundcard), to add effects to sounds you hear in Windows.

Outright force quiting this application will make it so you don't hear any sounds (supposedly), so that is probably not recommened.

 

What they recommend doing is:

- Uninstall Skype (or presumably any program that has sound as a main feature?), some users apparently reported that to fix it.

- You can disable all sound effects

- Updating your audio drivers.

 

Is this something that suddenly happened? Did you install any sort of program recently (like video/audio chat programs)? I assume this persist after rebooting your PC?

This happened today and has never happened to me before.

Thank you very much! There is no windows audio device graph isolation now!
