Are there any MPD options enabled for example resampling, Camilla, HTTP server, etc?
Hello Tim,
as you probably remember, I already ask about this issue, but you, unfortunatly, were not able to replicate it (probably because a reboot missed after the loopback set).
I have tryed with any radio station and the initial load of 1-2%, after 40 minutes became 30% and so on.
I have just tested again with a scratch system (8.2.0) with: Jazz.24 (44.1KHz) and Swiss Jazz (48 KHz).
Please do not hesitate to ask me any additional information.
Thank you very much and best regards,
Francesco

I'm still not able to repro any issues with having Loopback on but I don't have your exact config since I don't have an OLED or run mpd_oled etc
The 90 minute test below was run on a system that has Loopback on to run the Multiroom sender daemon playing Jazz 24 station. CPU utilization avg 2%.

I would troubleshoot by starting with fresh 820 and Loopback on and see what happens to CPU utiiization. Then add the other components one by one and retest to try and isolate the issue.

Hello Tim,
Thanks again for the time spent.
Below you can find the result of a test I just made on a scratch 8.2.0 Pi 4 system, without anything (HW and SW) and configuration changes.
The only two things changed are:
- Audio/Audio Output/output device - from Pi HDMI 1 (default) to Pi Headphone jack
- Audio/ALSA Options/Loopback - from OFF to ON
I avoid to change even personalization parameters like: Timezone, host name, etc.
The results are:
Code: pi@moode:~ $ sudo reboot
login as: pi

Please note that it is my opinion that when arrived at 97% of load (on TOP - and 25% on moodeutl -m) of one cpu it does not increment anymore.
I am ready to any additional test or information you wish.
Best regards and thanks again,
Francesco

In my tests Headphone device and Loopback causes MPD to error and fail to play 44.1K rate. I always have to turn MPD resampling on and set it to any rate other than 44.1K.
Here are the test results after about 1.5 hours with Headphone + Loopback + MPD 48K resampling. I'm not seeing any unusual CPU utilization.

Hi Tim,
I have used a radio station at 48KHz (radio swiss jazz).
I don't know why: I tryed several systems, several microSD, several device (even headphone only) and I got, after 2 hours 97% on TOP and 26% on MOODEUTL -M.
I am going to test with 32 bits system too.
I will keep you informed.
Thanks again and regards,
Francesco

This is another system, on another network, controlled by another PC.

I'll try a longer duration test tomorrow to see if I can get a repro.

Hi Tim,
I will not stop thanking you for your interest in the issue I proposed.
I personally think that however, even if to a lesser extent, the increase from 3% to 37% (on HTOP) that you also noticed (with the use of "loopback"), compared to the stability at 3% (without the " loopback "), is still an issue to be investigated in terms of understanding whether it might be an issue of MPD or ALSA bugs, rather than an improvement in the customization of these two sets.
Thanks again and best regards,
Francesco

Typically when MPD starts hogging the CPU its due to bug in MPD or one of the plugins that does format decoding, et, but it could be more complex and involve MPD/ALSA interaction when the Loopback device is present..
Did you notice the issue happening with only the Headphone device or does it also occur with other audio device interfaces for example HDMI, I2S, USB?
Here is a command you can use to see which part of MPD is banging the CPU.
Code: ps H -q `pidof -s mpd` -o 'pid,tid,cls,rtprio,comm,pcpu'
# Also in a watch context
watch "ps H -q `pidof -s mpd` -o 'pid,tid,cls,rtprio,comm,pcpu'"

Hi Tim,
regarding the first question:
- Yes, I have tried several I2S HATs and they all give the same results. If you want I can try HDMI (using a monitor) but, unfortunately, I don't have any devices to connect via USB.
Regarding the commands to use:
- they are the same.
Thank you and regards,
Francesco
