Hey so I have a memory leak with coreaudiod and sometimes windowserver when I put my mac to sleep
memory on coreaudiod can reach 20 gb (I only have 16gb of ram, so it's using the ssd :( )
with this post comes my etrecheck report and the reading from the leaks command
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.5
The leaked memory is high but not 5GB, it is about 180MB.
File /etc/sysctl.conf exists but not expected
Do you have any idea why this file would exist?
It may be nothing, but it is unusual.
Running app: ~/Library/Caches/Cleanup At Startup/CrossOver CD Helper.app/Contents/MacOS/CrossOver CD Helper
CrossOver is an application to allow some windows applications to be run on an intel mac. This may not be doing anything, but it's odd to see it in an Apple Silicon mac.
You still have Perian!
This was extremely useful back in the day, but it has been deprecated by its developers many years ago (almost a decade)... I highly suspect that this may be causing the problem.
Go to System Preferences, control-click Perian and choose Delete (or Uninstall, or similar wording); then restart your mac.
Any changes?
okay so i've let my mac sleep for around 3 hours and this is the result :/
