It's using half of my cpu even when I'm not doing anything. imgur



EDIT:I found out that the problem is caused by windows audio endpoint builder. I still don't know how to fix this.

I guess you didn't see my edit a while ago.. You're right. I think it's caused by Windows Audio Endpoint Builder. I tried disabling it on services.msc and the cpu usage of svchost dropped significantly. There's 3 devices on my Audio Devices.

1: AMD High Defiinition Audio Device(Not plugged in)
2: VIA High Definition Audio(Default Device)
3: SPDIF Interface(TX0)(Ready)

Do you think It's because of the AMD High Definition Audio Device? I've tried disabling it but the svchost is still high on cpu usage.

As far as I've seen is that you need to uninstall your audio drivers and reinstall them

Reinstalled it. Svchost still hogging the cpu.

Wow. I can't believe it. Just unplugging the audio jack and replugging it worked. This is weird. If the problem comes back in the future, is it possible that my mobo is busted? Anyways, thanks for helping me.

I don't think it's busted, just think it's a bug in windows or something.
