There are many ways of doing this on the client side, you can add: * "--speaker=off" to you command line, as a one-off. * "speaker=off" to your connection file if you use one (for that host) * "speaker=off" to your user settings (affects all connections) * "speaker=off" to your global xpra settings (affects all users) * turn it off using the system tray at runtime Cheers Antoine > > > On Nov 16, 2016 9:27 PM, "Antoine Martin via shifter-users" > <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > On 16/11/16 22:41, Thomas Esposito via shifter-users wrote: > > My Xpra-Launcher.exe process is ALWAYS using from 5% to 10% of my CPU > > capacity, even when my X applications are TOTALLY idle (i.e. > windows are > > out of focus and/or no redrawing from X clients). > My guess is that sound is enabled, sound forwarding uses a stream and > will consume network and CPU even when no sound is being played. > > > This is a HUGE increase in CPU usage (and heat generation) on my > laptop > > relative to when I'm just doing simple browsing and email.
