beep.vi causes audiodg.exe to consume all RAM

Recommended Posts

I had a labivew application crash yesterday due to the PC running out of memory. Looking at the windows 10 system logs, it was audiodg.exe that ate up all of the memory.

Re-launching the application again and triggering the beep sound  caused audiodg.exe memory usage to shoot up at 10s of MB/s.

I suspect that this is a realtek audio driver bug because I can't reproduce this behavior on my development machine.

Has anyone else come across this kind of behavior before?

Just tested beep VI on its own and again I get the same run away ram consumption of audiodg.exe (+5MB/s).

I've got a bleeping memory leak! RAM remains reserved by audiodg.exe even after exiting the application.

When using the sound VIs to play a WAV file, there is no such memory leak behavior.

Best bug description I've heard in a while.

This doesn't sound like a LabVIEW issue, so I'm not going to escalate it, but drop me a personal message if your ongoing investigation leads you back to NI.
