hello,
can that test please someone?
I make for example a Button, select in action "play sound". Until CPU-load low there.
If I browse then however after a Sound, the CPU-load climbs violently.
Also if I then the dialogue close again, this high CPU-load remain go.
First if I close opus 6 the CPUS down again.
I have this appearance only in the selection of a Sounds.

Please reviews whether someone makes the same experiences. Is there a solution or a patch to be expected?

Greetings

It would really help to have information on your computer and operating system. Please add that information into your signature in your Profile.

I created a new Page, added a Button Object and created an Action of Playing a Sound. I then started my Task Manager in a second window of my dual monitor system. When I started Preview, my resources dropped to 0-2% and would hover in that range. When I click the Button, my resource utilization went to 29% for a moment, then settled back to 5% until the sound was finished when it went back to the 0-2% range.

I'm not even sure why you'd be interested in any of this. What difference does it make? There is NO PROBLEM.

If you are showing different utilization numbers, then I strongly suspect your computer has other programs/software running in the background which is causing system resources to be used. If you have virus detection software or networking software, then they are constantly working which eat up resources. This is NOT an OPUS issue.

tiaetsch,
I have seen problems with individual MP3s... for no apparent reason. For example---I converted a CD to MP3s using CDex and one track causes Opus to go into a 'loop' hogging 100% processor. I have no idea why and I haven't tried to find out why, yet.

Was it an MP3?? try a different file---if it does it on a different file of the same format, try a different format.

My problem is another. Apology for my bad English.



If I click in Opus under "Play sound" on "Browse", the CPU load of
Opus (task manager) rises to 50 % and more.
Even after the closing of the dialogs will reduce the cpu-last not again!

This is only when browsing by sounds!

tiaetsch,
Don't worry about your English--it is much better than my German .

I have never had a problem loading a sound, but whenever I see strange things happening in Opus, There are two things I do.

1. I reinstall Opus. Doesn't take long and it doesn't affect any of the settings. Normally this fixes strange problems for me, and I have seen many unexplained things happening with Opus.

If that doesn't help,

2. I reset the Opus registry settings. (Click the shortcut/icon for OPUS, then immediately hold down your ALT and CLT keys until you see a window which asks if you want to RESET the OPUS Registry)
This will reset all the Opus settings to default.

I have several internal and several external hard drives in order to store programs, videos and backups. I have one external drive which "goes to sleep" if I haven't used it in awhile, so it takes longer to Browse the content of that HD than my C: HD. I noticed you list having two 160GB HDs. Are they both internal? Are the sound files you want located on a different HD than your OPUS Pub?

When was the last time you did a DeFrag of your HDs? When hard drives become highly fragmented, it takes much longer to retrieve all the "little pieces" and then put them back together so they can be used.

Thank you. Opus again installed. The error is now repaired.
