AIMP CPU Use

[Dibble]

AIMP is generally very light on CPU (under 5%), but when the volume is turned down to 0%, it uses 25% CPU continuously until the volume is raised over 0% again.

Is this by design?

If not, does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Thanks.

Hmmm...

Am I to assume there's a man in a tin hat with a canary?

I always use this one (my own recoloured version of Black Linage):

But I have tested with: Charm, Aimp Bento, Black Linage v.3, Euphoria Lux v.2.3, WZPDefaultHD, Soot v3.7, A4 v1.7...

Restarted Aimp after every skin change.

Same result with all skins.

Ok. I guess Aimp is doing some mining when the volume is at 0%.

I guess I can live with this, it's easy to press Pause instead.

Would have been nice to have a definitive answer from a Dev though instead of just guilty silence...

I just noticed that AIMP was using 6% CPU in the background while being minimized to the tray and not being in use...

...what was it doing? Crypto currency mining?

Crypto currency mining?

LOL, in this case AIMP will use all 100%
