Wat do
Unfortunately I have to suffer the misfortune of running Creative drivers on Windows 7 in order to output DTS to my receiver.
I'm using Creative Soundblaster Fatality Titanium on Windows 7, using what seems to be a third party driver that's required to get DTS working at all thanks to terrible Creative driver support for Windows 7, of what seems to be abusing their monopoly on the computing audio soundcard market.
I'm obviously suffering from memory leaks, as the amount of memory the process uses increases with time. When I restart the process it looks more like the normal memory usage of about 20mb of memory, as opposed to nearly 3 gigabytes.
I'm curious if anyone is familiar with DK's Creative Xi-Fi audio drivers, and their correspondence with DTS encode functionality and have encountered this issue myself.
Unfortunately this issue recurs no matter how many times I reinstall, can anyone reflect this issue and possible provide a solution? I know it's a stretch but I figure it's worth putting out there.
Do you actually need that process for DTS output? You might be able to just kill it and remove it from startup.

Uh, do you know what AudioDG is? It's a core windows program that is essential for any kind of audio playback DTS or not. This is just the effect my drivers have on it, and yes I need DTS output or else my Receiver will not output sound in 5.1. Which is sad because this is the best I can get and it won't even do my full 7.1.

I'd also be a little concerned about that.
I have nearly 65 processes running. It's all about what programs you're using and what you have running in the background. That isn't technically a problem.
As for your driver issue, I have the Fata1ity series and the drivers off their site actually aren't too bad with my setup under Win 7 x64.
Do you have a Creative sound card with some of the sound enhancements enabled? If you do disable the sound enhancements for the card.

I don't use Crystalizer or CMS3D or any of that shit.

I've already run through MSConfig and disabled all the superfluous background processes, except for Divxupdate apparently. They always find new ways to throw shit in your face.
I have 6GB of memory so I'm not too anal about background processes, but regardless this memory leak looks like it could become a serious problem if it isn't classified as one already. At least my computer isn't slowing down from it.
I have currantly got 71 processes running. I think Noton accounts for half of them.

Ohshit, sorry for the bump.
I'm not evem sure how I got here, what with there not even being a search function :ohdear:
On my windows 7 machine i have 130 with nothing going on (haven't optimized it yet.), Kinda why i dont like windows 7, it puts too much strain on their poor old multiprocessing system
