Very High CPU usage by pulseaudio process. How can I kill it
So I noticed my laptop fans are always audible whenever I start Ubuntu (This doesn't happen on Windows) I used top to check running processes and I find a process called pulseaudio using around 70-90% of the %CPU which I believe is very high for an audio management process, I tried to kill it using sudo pkill but it just keeps respawning, I am not sure what to do since I am an Ubuntu newcomer and I really started to love it, please help :/
