Why is coreaudiod and locationd using 150% CPU on Sequoia 15.4?

Hi all


After updating my Macbook Pro 14" M3 Pro to Sequoia 15.4 both coreaudiod & locationd have over 150% CPU in Activity Monitor ? My Macbook Pro I9 Intel does not have this issue.

Anyone else with this ?


Thx

On my 15.4 M1 Studio Max system coreaudiod is 0% and locationd is 3.8% currently. So I doubt it's some kind of bug. Possibly a glitch that occurred during your installation. Try restarting in Safe Mode and test.
