Today my system was really laggy, while looking at Task Manager, I saw the "System" process take 50% of my CPU most of the time. I was baffled.
So I took a look at the process and I saw a certain driver using that 50%. Turns out its SoundTap, a program that detects audio streams, which I used to record from PC audio. Apparently, its driver was executed EVERY TIME there was any audio playing on the computer, regardless if the program is running or not.
