USB External DAC maximizes one CPU core while playing

Support & Help Requests Hardware
#1

Hello all!
Nice to be part of the community! I've installed Ubuntu Mate 19.04 and, while using youtube or VLC on my laptop through my Chord Mojo USB dac, I have high CPU temperature and Fan going on. By a closer look seems that the CPU7 of my i7700HQ goes to 100% while other threads/cores are not invovled in the effort.
What could this be due to? This has been happening since I got the DAC some months ago.

Thanks and cheers to all
D.

Hello,

Find a solution by myself:

Instead of the PCI=nomsi in grub just add pcie_aspm=off and the probem with the external dac will go away (hopefully)
Cheers
