Anyone know what's up with these symptoms?

Hey. So, lately every day or two (or so) my computer's audio starts getting buggy and everything lags. This will happen predictably if I do any heavy rendering or anything else CPU intensive. I'd like to preface this with the fact that this never once happened when I was on Windows 7.

My Machine is as follow: AMD FX-8350, GTX 750Ti, 16GB Corsair Vengeance ddr3, 1TB Western Digital HDD.

Since upgrading to Windows 10 at the end of July, I noticed that my RAM use has gone up dramatically. With Chrome+ average tabs open and a few other programs (on WIndows 7) my ram would sit at about 32% total use. Max. Now, in Windows 10, it will sit at about 44-50%. THat's the first weird thing I've noticed since upgrading to W10. These weird audio/performance "glitches" didn't start happening until about a month ago.

It's always when my CPU is being pushed, and after whatever is pushing it (let's say it's a game) is closed, the glitch continues until I reboot.

I've also noticed that whenever this happens, that Windows Audio Device Graph process shows up high in the tree. I've actually never seen it before, and wonder why it becomes so demanding on my CPU.

Any help is welcome.
Thanks!
 
Did you disable all the Win10 reporting "features"? Can you post a shot of your resource monitor showing ram usage by greatest to least?
 
My Windows 7 system “Audio Device Graph Isolation" (audiodg.exe) only uses about .04 of my cpu.

See if it works for W10.
I found this on the Internet:

Method 2: In Windows 8, when running audio or video player software, CPU usage will reach above 80% instantly. This phenomenon is caused by " audiodg.exe " process. Sometimes, high CPU usage by this process might lead to fake crash. Follow these steps to fix the issue:

1. Right-click "Speakers" icon in the taskbar and then select "Playback devices"
2 . Under "Playback" tab, right-click "Speakers", and select "Properties".
3. Click on " Enhancements" tab under "Speakers Properties". Check " Disable all enhancements " check-box .

By the above steps, you could resolve the problem that " audiodg .exe" process hosts high CPU usage and prevent your machine from slow running and fake crash.

The only thing checked in that section is "Immediate mode"

I believe I have. Are there any hidden ones I should know about?
I rebooted this morning to fix it temporarily, I'll post a screencap when it happens again (within 24 hours, usually). Here's a screencap without the issue, though.

34% is still higher than when I was on Windows 7 with the same amount of tabs and stuff open. On 7, I'd be using about 24-28% tops.

I can't speak to WIN10 because I'm in no hurry to install it, HOWEVER, I made this video which at least MIGHT help in lowering ram usage on the fly.

It's the tool Microsoft developers use and it's on their site.

Thanks, although I get the following error when I open it.

I've run in administrator and tried compatibility modes.
 
I'm going to go with non-helpful, in the immediate sense, answer and tell you the simple solution. Disable that on-board crap from the MB and get a discrete sound card. You can get one that produces much better audio, especially when gaming, for about $50. That way when your cpu is stressed it won't affect the audio at all.

Edit: even this would be worlds better:

I'll definitely take this into consideration! Thanks.
