2















On Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS



Pulseaudio causes Xorg to use 100% CPU.



After disabling autospawn in /etc/pulse/client.conf and killing pulseaudio CPU immediately drops to acceptable level. After restarting pulseaudio Xorg returns to 100% CPU.



pulseaudio --kill
pulseaudio --start


Installed versions:



pulseaudio 1:8.0-0ubuntu3.7
xorg 1:7.7+13ubuntu3
nvidia-390 390.30-0ubuntu1


How to fix this?
