Quote: Remember that audio is being trancoded using the CPU, so a spike in usage is to be expected, unless you have a device that can direct play the spesific audio format.
You could post a log, but a quicker answer is to simply click on the gear icon in the lower right corner when playing a video, and selecting playback info, it will state there if it is direct playing or transcoding.
you might have to lower the bitrate to force transcoding.
I know that Playback Info, and i can force to transcode if i use my phone. But i don't see if it's transcoding with the iGPU (Hardware) or with the CPU (Software). I don't have just a spike in CPU usage... the overall CPU usage is around 10% if i play a 4kUHD HDR with Atmos (Video quality in Jellyfin playback settings on my phone is set to 480p audio is set to auto, Bitrate of transcoding is 241 fps (10.5x) acording to the playback info).
I would like to have GPU stats i could watch like the CPU stats but i can't find that.
I guess, the question would be.... Spikes the CPU usage on the dashboard if the iGPU is used too or can i just see CPU usage if the CPU cores are used?
I know, that sounds a bit strange but as a windows guy i don't know a better way of telling if the GPU is used other then using a tool wich is showing me a graph and some numbers .

Besides that, the Arc A series should have the low power encoder options set, the B580 should be no different one should think.
Well, sending back the GPU is an option for shure. Is this 100% true, the B580 is no upgrade for transcoding?
