Hi folks
When I booted up yesterday I was experiencing very high CPU load (50 to 70%). This happens occasionally and somehow it seems to fix itself.
I thought it may be due to recent Live or Win 11 updates.
Rebooting didn’t fix it. So I checked the Focusrite web page and found that 2i2 drivers were updated in August.
Installed the new drivers (painless), rebooted and my CPU is back down in the teens or low 20s.
Just thought I’d share in case anyone else experiencing the same issue.
Oh man, this was happening with me and I thought it was just the USB cord (swapped and now it's working fine) but good to know!
I would never have thought to check the USB cable. Noted for next time.
This could also be dude to the 'Ableton Indexing' process which really takes a toll on most CPUs. If updating the drivers fixed it, however, that's probably not what happened for you, though.
Ahh ok thanks for that. I have noticed that the circle next to Places keeps spinning but then it was doing that today and ran fine.
That's good then :)
