Audio stopped because load >99%- erroneous message

I’ve got a patch that uses about 75% at 48 khz block size 64. If I lower the sample rate to 24k, I get the error message that the load is too high.
I can reload the patch with the new setting and it runs fine at around 36%.
If I go back and change the sample rate back to 48, I get the message again, but can reload and I’m back to 75%.

Is there some sort of spike when changing the sample rate that causes the load to go too high?

Can you share the patch? If it contains Bogaudio modules, then it could be fixed in the release v1.0.17

nothing from Bogaudio. I’m running 1.2.0, though it was behaving the same a couple of days ago before I updated.
I’d posted a simpler version of this patch that doesn’t do this. This one has a couple more modules, and does.
(Just to be clear, it doesn’t actually overload the CPU in use, it only says so when sample rate is changed.)

Ok thanks. Hmm… I have a hunch what it is…

I found the issue. The DLD was clearing its buffer when the sample rate changes, which takes too long on hardware (it’s a 16MB buffer).

I’ll push the fix to the next firmware version
